During an appearance on Carlos King’s podcast “Reality With The King,” Marlo Hampton said she got “addicted” to the results she was seeing in her body after using the drug.

“I had lost 30 pounds, sample sizes, everybody was sending me clothes.”

But even though it helped her shed weight, the reality TV star confessed it started to affect her body.

“I barely even go to the restroom, but I wasn’t doing number two. Then my face start breaking out. My menstrual [cycle] start acting funny.”

After using the drug for six months and losing 30 pounds, Marlo Hampton shared she stopped using it. The actress known for Games People Play said she “got to get to working out” now because she gained “10 pounds being off of it.”

Like many others, Hampton isn’t the only Real Housewives star to use Ozempic.

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay first revealed she’s been using the controversial weight loss drug to shed pounds while appearing at Variety’s Women of Reality TV Event in November 2023.

She shared, 

“I’ve been on it for a long time, but hasn’t really seen much results. And I haven’t had massive results, but enough for people to notice, which is great.”

Heather Gay went on to say that people have started acting differently around her since she started losing weight, which she finds to be “discouraging.”

“You lose five pounds, people are nicer to you. I don’t know why. It’s just the way the world works and that makes me sad for women. But happy that I’m down five.”

According to UC Davis Health, the FDA approved Ozempic in 2017 for use in adults with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic is a weekly injection that helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. It is not approved for weight loss, but some physicians prescribe it for that purpose.
