Khloe Kardashian Can't Dodge Ozempic Rumors No Matter How Much She Fights Back
Side-by-side pics of Khloe Kardashian show just how unrecognizable she's become, and with Ozempic rumors swirling, she just can't catch a break. Across Reddit, users have shared their concerns and perspectives on whether or not Kardashian is moving with the crowd or doing things her own way. "I think Khloe is using stress as a front for using Ozempic so people will feel so bad for accusing her of using a drug for diabetics when she was SoOoO STreSsEd," One user commented on a thread referencing Season 3 of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians". The Good American co-founder has made it a point to speak out in opposition to any accusations of her using the weight-loss drug.
"When I was bigger, if they had Ozempic, I probably would have tried it, cause I tried any other thing," Kardashian told PEOPLE in an interview when speaking about her weight loss journey. In a separate interview with Bustle, Kardashian pushed back against surgery rumors and how people shouldn't care about the weight loss methods people use. "You must have gotten surgery because you just lost weight." I'm like, "It's been a 10-year journey! What are you talking about?" But even if people get surgery or [get on] the Ozempic craze, I'm like, 'Who cares!' As long as people feel good about themselves, who am I to judge?" Outside of the five hard lessons Khloe Kardashian taught us about love, she also taught us that honesty and transparency are the best policy.
Khloe Kardashian isn't the only one in her family facing Ozempic accusations
Outside of Khloe Kardashian, other members of her immediate family have also been accused of using Ozempic, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kylie Jenner (who's also on our list of side-by-side pics of reality TV stars that sparked Ozempic rumors). Jenner's response to the rumors came during her interview with British Vogue, where she put the rumors to rest. "I'm back at my weight I was before I had my daughter and son and people are putting side by sides of me three months postpartum. I'm like: 'Does everyone forget that I had two children and I gained 60 pounds both pregnancies,'" Jenner expressed, reflecting on her experience getting body shamed and accused of plastic surgery.
Meanwhile, her mother, Kris, was accused of using Ozempic after posting photos on a getaway trip to Italy, looking much smaller than usual in 2023. While Jenner didn't confirm using the drug, she was transparent about her facelift transformation. Since rumors sparked about Ozempic use in 2022 for the drastic weight loss Kim Kardashian had for the Met Gala that year, she has not directly responded to the rumors. However, people have still noticed the weight loss among her and other members of her family, intensifying the rumors further.
