Macy Gray shared that she has been battling stomach pains and constipation since she began taking Ozempic for weight loss.
The “I Try” singer, 56, told her “Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” castmates Kim Zolciak and Johnny Weir that she had been “up all night” due to her discomfort in the July 23 episode.
“Oh, boy, my stomach hurts. I’ve just been really constipated,” she said. “I took Ozempic. I can’t go to the bathroom, and I was up all night.”

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Zolciak, 46, pointed out, “Ozempic does that.”
Gray, whose real name is Natalie McIntyre, then explained that she had turned to the trendy medication to “lose weight really fast” before going on tour.
“Quietly, I’m kind of a vain person. I’ve gained a lot of weight over the past couple years, and this is right about the time when everybody starts talking about this Ozempic,” she admitted in a confessional.
“So, I thought, ‘OK, I’m not taking it off the right way. Let me see if I can get one of these Ozempic [prescriptions],'” the Grammy winner added.
“I was actually trying to take it off [the weight] before the show because I didn’t want to be super fat on TV, but here we are.”
Gray is the latest star to admit to taking the Type II diabetes drug — which is injected once a week into the stomach, thigh or arm — or others similar to it.
Several celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Alabama Barker, Kelly Clarkson, Tracy Morgan and Elon Musk, have confessed to using the injection to aid their weight loss.
Gray previously admitted she uses different types of drugs to achieve “healing.”
In the season premiere of the reality show, the “Sweet Baby” singer joked she has turned to cocaine, a “couple shots,” edibles and pizza.
“Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets” airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
