Heather Dubrow thinks that the controversial drug Ozempic will be as commonly used as Botox one day.
“I want to say something about Ozempic. There’s a lot of Ozempic shaming going on, and I don’t like it,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star told paparazzi in New York City over the weekend in a video obtained by TMZ.
“Whatever someone has to do to make themselves feel good about themselves, I’m all for [it]. But this is also someone’s private medical information.”
She then rhetorically asked “why are people asking who’s on Ozempic” since it’s the same as asking “what kind of heart medication they’re on.”
Continuing on her tangent, Dubrow declared that, one day, Ozempic will be as commonly used as the once-taboo Botox.
“When Botox first came out it was [gestures shockingly and gasps] ‘Oh, are they doing Botox? Is Botox a thing?'”
Dubrow, who has been married to plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow since 1999, recalled telling InStyle magazine during a past interview that she used to keep Botox in her refrigerator back when the cosmetic drug was still frowned upon.
“Because to me it was no big deal. And now, look at Botox,” she said, adding that people can now easily access the anti-aging drug.
“I guarantee Ozempic will be the same way.”
Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood since stars have been accused of using the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug to drop pounds.
One of the stars who has been in the hot seat is “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards.
Despite numerous claims that the Bravolebrity has used the prescription drug to shed some pounds, Richards has vehemently denied any such rumors and attributed her weight loss to a healthier lifestyle.
When paps asked Heather how she felt about Jeff Lewis calling Richards a “lesbian on Ozempic” during Aug. 8th’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” the reality star was quick to come to Richard’s side.
“Someone’s personal business is their personal business,” she said.
However, plenty of other “Housewives” have admitted to using Ozempic to slim down, including Emily Simpson and Dolores Catania.
