Reality TV Stars Face Ozempic Rumors Amid Body Transformation Scrutiny

Celebrities deny using weight loss drugs as public interest in GLP-1 medications grows

Published on Feb. 15, 2026

When reality TV stars undergo noticeable physical transformations, the internet often assumes the use of medications like Ozempic. This scrutiny has led several high-profile personalities to address the speculation, with many denying the use of such drugs and attributing their changes to lifestyle factors instead.

Why it matters

The focus on Ozempic highlights a broader trend of increasing pressure for rapid and dramatic physical transformations, fueled by the growing mainstream adoption of GLP-1 medications. This raises questions about body image, transparency, and the ethical considerations surrounding body modification.

The details

Several reality TV stars, including Kyle Richards, Kelly Osbourne, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Erika Jayne, and Julia Fox, have faced Ozempic rumors. While some have denied using the drug, others have credited their transformations to factors like gastric bypass surgery, lifestyle changes, and menopause. The scrutiny of these celebrities' bodies reflects a broader cultural tendency to attribute noticeable changes to the use of weight loss medications, leading to the viral term 'Ozempic face'.

  • In a 2024 KFF Health Tracking Poll, one in eight adults reported experience taking a GLP-1 medication.
  • In a 2024 Vogue interview, Kylie Jenner stated she would never use Ozempic.
