For Sharon Osbourne, the wife of Ozzy Osbourne, these drugs have clearly taken a significant toll on her physical appearance. She looks dramatically different since starting to use the drug in her effort to shed excess weight. Sharon has become so thin that Ozzy playfully teases her, often referring to her as Nancy Reagan, who was known for her exceptionally slender figure.
From OK! Magazine:
"Ozzy's having a go at me because he says I look like Mrs. Reagan," she quipped of how taking Ozempic has taken a toll on her from head to toe. "He calls me Nancy Reagan all the time!"
"It’s just time to stop, I didn’t actually want to go this thin but it just happened," confessed the mom-of-three, 70. "I’ll probably put it all on again soon!"
Sharon admitted in a separate interview earlier this month that at her heaviest, she was at 230 lbs., but she's now under 100. Ozempic specifically helped her drop 30 lbs.
"I want to maintain at about 105 because I'm too skinny. But I'm trying to have a healthy balance," she shared.
The Talk alum explained that her body image struggles have always been "a mental thing."
"Sometimes, I would eat to punish myself and then I wouldn't eat to show that I had control of my life," she spilled to E! News. "I tried exercising, but I'm too lazy for that."
The TV star insisted she has no shame over taking the weight loss drug, and encourages others to do what's best for them. "Whatever you choose is up to you," she said. "It's not a dirty little secret when you've taken something to help you lose weight, which is perfectly fine. We don't have to b-------."
Well, you've got to give Sharon credit for being self-aware, and I certainly hope she stays healthy.
She has certainly struggled, like many women, with her weight, so it's understandable that she would be at her wit's end and accept help from a drug that's being widely prescribed by doctors. After all, Sharon is only human.
