Sharon Osbourne admits to ‘playing the odds’ with Ozempic: ‘Always had a weight problem’

Sharon Osbourne admitted she “played the odds” when she turned to Ozempic in a desperate bid to lose weight.

Appearing on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast Sunday, the 70-year-old got candid about her slimmed-down frame after using Hollywood’s favorite weight loss drug.

“You have a weight problem and you’ve tried everything, and then somebody says take this injection and you’re going to be skinny,” she shared.

Maher admitted that his fear of injecting “foreign substances” into his body make the use of the drug unappealing to him.

The comic said weight loss medicine is a game of “always playing the odds,” with which Osbourne agreed.

“For me, the first few weeks was f–king s–t because you just throw up all the time. You feel so nauseous,” she shared. “After a couple of weeks it goes.”

Admitting that she’s no longer on the drug, Osbourne recalled the drug suppressing her appetite that she doesn’t find herself hungry even now.

After that initial couple of weeks of nausea, she explained that she was “fine” and “felt nothing.”

“I’ve been off it for a while now. Your stomach shrinks,” she said, adding that she was never an overeater but always had a “weight problem.”

Speaking in May, Osbourne said she suffered numerous side effects after the weight loss drug, but didn’t specify which drug it was at the time.

“I was very sick for a couple of months,” she shared on the UK’s “The Talk.” “The first couple of months, I just felt nauseous. Every day I felt nauseous, my stomach was upset, whatever.”

Osbourne said she took the medication for four months and lost 30 pounds, but “like everything, there’s always no quick recipe.”

“But listen, I took it for four months, I lost 30 pounds,” Osbourne continued. “I’ve just shoved two chips in my mouth, while we had the break, and I eat normally now, and I haven’t put on a pound. Nothing.”

The weight-loss drug has become the newest craze in Hollywood, with countless celebs admitting to turning to the drug to shed the pounds.

Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, Michael Rubin, and Elon Musk are among the countless celebs admitting to using the drug.
