Kelly Osbourne clarifies she NEVER used Ozempic to lose baby weight, but says the diabetes medication is a ‘miracle drug in the right hands’
Kelly Osbourne is confident she’s lost her post-baby weight herself, but she’s not criticizing anyone who might need help losing more than a few unwanted pounds.
The podcast host, 39, who was recently spotted stepping out for a family dinner with her partner Sid Wilson and their son Sidney, about 16 months, spoke about her weight loss journey while discussing the family’s new Osbourne Media House and The Osbournes Podcast .
“I should clarify: I have never used Ozempic,” she said People about rumors that she had turned to the drug Type II Diabetes, which also promotes weight loss.
“I don’t know what Ozempic does to you, other than what I’ve seen it do to my mother,” she said.
“I think this is the miracle cure in the right hands.”
Kelly Osbourne, 39, denied using Ozempic after her 85-pound postpartum weight loss, but defended those who turned to the product for help; Kelly was seen on the left in February 2024 and on the right in May 2023
Sharon Osbourne, 71, revealed she lost 42 pounds using the GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1 drug that has become popular with celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, but says she is no longer taking the medication.
It is often seen as a last hope solution for many who struggle to get to a healthy weight.
“The benefits outweigh the cons, and if you really research the type of medication and what it can do for you cognitively and what it does for the rest of your body, like I said, it’s a miracle cure,” the former reality star claimed.
Because the drug reduces inflammation in the body, scientists believe this class of drugs could be effective in slowing the progression of neurogenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Osbourne said she doesn’t understand why so many people are critical of those who abuse the medication.
“For some reason society tries to portray it as something bad. And I don’t understand why,” she said
‘If you need to lose some weight, who cares how you do it, as long as you do it in a healthy way.’
To lose the extra 35 pounds she was carrying after the birth of her son, Osbourne said she “cut out sugar and carbs and I lost weight quickly.”
The Osbournes Podcast host told People: “I should clarify: I have never used Ozempic. “I don’t know what Ozempic does to you, except what I saw it do to my mother.”

The former reality star, who shares son Sydney, about 16 months, with partner Sid Wilson, said she “cut out sugar and carbs and I lost weight quickly” after giving birth. She also admitted to taking “peptides” and “vitamins,” but did not specify which ones
She also recently admitted to using supplements including “peptides” and “vitamins” to lose weight, but did not elaborate on the specific products she used.
Peptides for weight loss include Semaglutide, the key element in Ozempic, and its sister product Wegovy, which helps curb food cravings.
In some studies, the drug has also curbed alcohol cravings.
Liraglutide, known by the brand name Saxenda, is a peptide that reduces appetite and Tirzepatide, known as Mounjaro, has been successful in treating both diabetes and obesity, according to researchers. Healthline.
