Kelly Osbourne denied taking Ozempic after losing 85 pounds following the birth of her son.
âI know everybody thinks I took Ozempic,â the âDWTSâ alum told Extra.

Kelly, 39, claimed she shed the weight after giving birth to her son, Sidney â who she shares with Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson â in 2022.
âI had gestational diabetes and I had to lose the weight that I had gained during pregnancy,â she explained. âOtherwise I was at a higher risk of actually getting diabetes, which I did not want. I cut out sugar and carbohydrates and I rapidly lost weight.â
Earlier this year, Kelly sang the praises of the controversial drug.

Osbourne said she had to make changes to her diet because she was at risk of developing diabetes.
âI think itâs amazing,â she told E! News in January. âThere are a million ways to lose weight. Why not do it through something that isnât as boring as working out?â

She continued, âPeople hate on it because they want to do it. And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they canât afford it. Unfortunately, right now itâs something that is very expensive, but it eventually wonât be because it actually works.â
Kellyâs mother, Sharon, 71, has been open about losing 40 pounds on the drug despite experiencing some nasty side effects.

âI was very sick for a couple of months,â she shared on âThe Talk.â
âThe first couple of months, I just felt nauseous. Every day I felt nauseous, my stomach was upset, whatever.â
Despite how she felt, Sharon said she had zero regrets about taking the medication.
âI donât regret it. Everything with weight with me was, âI want it now,ââ she explained on the UK talk show âLoose Womenâ in January.

âThe injections that I was on worked, but it just seems that now I canât put anything on really.â
The âCharm Schoolâ alum later shared in an interview with the Daily Mail that she would like to put some weight back on but has been unable to do so.
âIâm too gaunt, and I canât put any weight on,â she explained. âI want to because I feel Iâm too skinny. Iâm under 100 pounds, and I donât want to be.â
