I’m like, do it, do it. I have no judgment. If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl,” she said, adding that she wants more people to be comfortable while using the drug. “I feel like there’s, like, this shame—and the shame is only from thin people who want you to stay fat. Like that's really where it's coming from,” the comedian added.
Furthermore, Nikki stated, “They just go, ‘You’re stealing medicine from diabetics who need it.’ Like anyone’s ever cared about someone with diabetes who doesn’t have it,” while talking with the host. “It's suddenly all these thin, white women are like 'diabetics need their meds.’ I think you’re upset that Kathy Bates has a thigh gap. That’s more what it could be about, I think,” Glaser concluded about Ozempic.
What is Ozempic?Ozempic, generically known as semaglutide , is the approved drug for type 2 diabetes in adults, where it helps to lower blood sugar levels.
