Khloé Kardashian Addresses Accusations She Uses Diabetes Medication for Weight Loss

Another day, another Kardashian kontroversy.

Khloé Kardashian has found herself at the forefront of another shocking accusation, and the year has only just begun.

The reality star shared a series of photos from a new shoot on Instagram on Jan 3. 2023, in which she showed off her toned abs in a little white crop top and gold-plated mini skirt. She also rocked a fresh new 'do, but that, somehow, wasn't the star of the show.

"Fun fact: I wore clip on bangs for this shoot. It was fun to give a different look and not be committed. I am surprised with how much I liked the bangs even though they changed the shape of my face. Would you ever get bangs?" the Good American co-founder wrote in the caption, but the responses she received weren't quite what she was looking for.

"Ummm… so are we not going to talk about what actually changed the look of her face? Lol 🤥," one comment read.

"No babe YOU changed the shape of your face," said another.

Several others accused the mom-of-two of achieving her look through weight-loss drugs. Specifically, Ozempic, which is a medication used by type 2 diabetics to help control their blood sugar.

"Ozempic ozempic ozempic ozempic ozempic ozempic ozempic did you have your shot to day?" one accusation read, while another simply said, "O-o-ozempic!"

"you cake yourself in makeup to workout in your own home at 6am?? come on you’re not fooling anyone you’ve worked out for years and were never this thin and kim certainly is not working out alot! you’re both on diabetic medication! people in your industry have been speaking about it for months it’s not even a secret, your family makes millions influencing young girls you should have a conscience," said another.

"Save the ozempic for the diabetics who need it," scolded a fourth.

Ozempic is available only as an injection, according to GoodRx, but the same medication is available in pill form under the name Rybelsus. Each prescription contains semaglutide, which causes food to remain in your stomach for longer, potentially reducing your appetite and leading to weight loss. There is even a higher dose of the active ingredient called Wegovy, which is specifically approved for weight management.

Unfortunately, a TikTok trend suggesting these life-saving medications be used for weight loss has led to a shortage of the drug, making it difficult for those that actually need them to manage their health to get their hands on them.

But, as Vanity Fair reports, Kardashian was quick to clap back in a now-deleted response. “Let’s not discredit my years of working out. I get up 5 days a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions,” she reportedly responded to one of the countless comments, adding, “I guess new year still means mean people.”

It's unclear where the assumption came from, but Kim Kardashian was accused of using the same drug to help her fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress last year.
