giving birth to her second child.McCain, 38, shared in an op-ed for the Daily Mail that ever since she and her husband husband Ben Domenech, 41, welcomed her daughter Clover Jade on Jan.

16, she’s been “urged” to take Ozempic to “melt away the baby weight.”The TV personality titled the op-ed: “I just gave birth and I’m being urged to take a ‘miracle shot’ of Ozempic as a quick fix to melt away the baby weight… It’s horrifying, unfair and disturbing – and I refuse.”Ozempic is a medication designed for people with Type 2 diabetes — but it’s being prescribed to socialites and celebrities to help them lose weight.“I just had a baby four weeks ago, and you wouldn’t believe what I’m hearing,” McCain wrote. “Yes, I’m fielding all the usual questions: Is she sleeping?

Am I sleeping? The answer – obviously – is ‘no’. But then I get hit with this: ‘Are you going on Ozempic?’ Excuse me?”She went on to explain the phenomenon behind the “miracle drug” that seems to be a new trend among A-listers.“One injection, once a week, for a cool $1,000 a pop, and you can just melt the pounds away,” she said.McCain also noted some well-known celebrities who use the drug or have been accused of using it, including Chelsea Handler, Elon Musk and Kyle Richards — who denied taking it, though “Real Housewives” star Jackie Goldschneider claimed many of her cast mates are on it.She said she understood that there are “people who legitimately struggle with obesity and need Ozempic.

But I am not one of those people” — which explains her shock over her “casual friends” and “industry acquaintances” asking if she’ll take the drug.“I’m told ‘everyone is doing it,’ as if that was ever a compelling case,” McCain wrote. “I hear, ‘Just take the shot,’ as it has.
