Jessica Simpson has spoken out about the rumors surrounding her use of Ozempic for weight loss. In a recent interview with Bustle, which was published on July 5, Simpson clarified the situation when asked about her transformation.
“Oh Lord. I mean, it is not (Ozempic),” she said about her weight loss. “It’s willpower. I’m like, do people want me to be drinking again? Because that’s when I was heavier. Or they want me to be having another baby? My body can’t do it.”
Simpson, who made the decision to stop drinking alcohol in 2017, shared that it hurts to hear negative things about herself from fans. However, she emphasized that she will not let it hinder her progress and will continue moving forward with her life.
“Am I going to let the negativity derail me? No, I’m too old for that. I am too connected to myself right now to let that derail me,” she said. “It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt.”
Simpson said about her body that she’s “fortunate to have been every size” because it helps her “brand, understand the women (who buy our products), and for my psyche,” she said.
When Jessica Simpson did a paid post for Pottery Barn Kids in late 2022, fans quickly started commenting on her appearance and weight. Some people on Twitter even speculated that she might be using a medication called Ozempic for weight loss.
Ozempic is a medicine prescribed by doctors to treat Type 2 diabetes. It has gained attention for its potential to assist with weight loss. The medication works by releasing a synthetic version of a hormone that your body naturally produces after eating. This hormone helps you feel full faster and reduces cravings for food.
However, the company that makes Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, stated that it does not endorse using their drugs for purposes not approved by the FDA. It is important to follow proper medical guidance and consult with a healthcare professional for any medication use.
“We do not promote, suggest, or encourage off-label uses of our medicines,” the company said in a statement. “We trust that healthcare providers are evaluating a patient’s individual needs and determining which medicine is right for that particular patient.”
