While Sharon Osbourne has been critical of using diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss recently, her daughter Kelly Osbourne seems to have a different opinion. During an episode of Celebrity Big Brother last week, Kelly, 39, surprised her mother on the show and rocked a curve-hugging polka-dot midi dress that showed off her slim physique.
Earlier this year, Kelly caused a stir online after praising the controversial drug and opening up about her own weight loss journey with it. As for her mother Sharon, 71, the media personality has cautioned fans regarding the potential hazards of consuming Ozempic without a legitimate prescription from a medical practitioner.
Kelly Osbourne Surprises Mom Sharon On 'Celebrity Big Brother' In Skintight Dress After Praising Ozempic
The Big Brother UK Instagram Story showcased Kelly donning the chic dress with a low neckline and emphasized waistline that highlighted her toned figure. She posed for the cameras with her mother, Sharon, who was departing from the Big Brother house.
Back in January, while on the red carpet for Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala, Kelly told E! News just how much she loved Ozempic. “I think it’s amazing,” she confessed. “There are a million ways to lose weight, why not do it through something [that] isn’t as boring as working out?”
“People hate on it because they want to do it,” Kelly speculated. “And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or [expletive] off that they can’t afford it.”
She added: “Unfortunately, right now it’s something that is very expensive but it eventually won’t be because it actually works.” Kelly previously revealed that she lost 85 lbs in 2018 after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.
Kelly's mother's experience with Ozempic, however, has been notably different. She has expressed concerns regarding its potential for addiction, particularly in the context of weight loss.
Sharon previously opened up about beginning to take Ozempic in December of 2022, and losing 42 lbs since. In a November 2023 interview with The Daily Mail, the former talk show host told the outlet that she "couldn't stop losing weight" after taking it.
"You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous," Sharon said. She added: "Don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy."
Ozempic was originally developed to aid those with type-2 diabetes in regulating their blood glucose levels, while also promoting weight loss.
Throughout the past year, a multitude of celebrities have captured media attention through their discussions about the drug, whether confessing to its use or expressing their concerns about its safety.
