Heather Dubrow Says She’s ‘Over’ Ozempic-Shaming Trend: ‘I Don’t Think It’s Anyone’s Business’

While many Real Housewives stars have faced backlash for using Ozempic to slim down, Heather Dubrow isn’t here for the criticism.“I’m over this whole ozempic-shaming thing, and I’m also over people asking, ‘Are you on Ozempic?’” the Real Housewives of Orange County star, 54, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, August 9. “Would you ask someone, ‘Are you on a beta-blocker?

Cholesterol? What are your statins? What’s that looking like?’ It’s private medical information. I don’t think it’s anyone’s business.”Dubrow further noted that Ozempic and other similar weight loss drugs “[seemed] to be working wonders” for individuals with diabetes long before semaglutide injections were used for weight loss. “I think it’s gonna end up being like Botox was [when it] first came out,” she told Us. “I remember, I think Terry [Dubrow] and I had been married, like, a year or two, and InStyle magazine interviewed me and they said, ‘What’s the strangest thing you have in your refrigerator?’ And I said, ‘Botox.’ And everyone was like, ‘[Dramatic gasp.] She said, Botox.’ And I was like, ‘Hey, I am married to a plastic surgeon and I get injected every couple of months.

It’s good.’ And now, you know, you can’t spit in New York City and not hit a Botox center on a street corner. I mean, it’s everywhere.”She continued: “I feel like these miracle weight loss drugs are gonna end up being the same thing.

Plus, back in my day, what did we do? I took Dexatrim, I smoked cigarettes and I drank Diet Coke. Oh, that was a healthy, great plan.”Terry, 64, however, isn’t sure if Ozempic and Botox are totally comparable.“These Ozempic-type drugs aren’t the new Botox.
