Kyle Richards Opens Up About Sobriety Journey and Firmly Denies Ozempic Rumors: ‘Put an End to Spreading Lies’
Kyle Richards continues to shut down social media chatter accusing her of secretly using trendy weight loss shortcut, Ozempic, to achieve her slimmer physique.
The 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posted a series of selfies on Instagram Monday, which included a photo snapped in a gym. One of her followers accused her of abusing Ozempic, a prescription medication used to treat people with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic is one brand name for semaglutide and tirzepatide — also known as Wegovy and Mounjaro—medications that work in the brain to thwart the user’s appetite.
Kyle responded to the fan in the post’s comment section.
“I have never tried Ozempic or any of those medicines so stop spreading lies. You don’t know me,” Kyle wrote.
She added — “I’m sorry but you don’t get muscles from that so kindly🖕🏼.”
Another fan pressed the reality star, commenting—“Stop lying and just cop to it. We women would respect it more. Everyone is on it! You struggled for years and now all of sudden you can just work out and lose 50lbs? 🤥.”
Kyle hit back — “I didn’t lose 50 pounds you fool. I’m done explaining to people who don’t want to hear the truth.”
The Bravo star went on to answer another fan who asked for an update on her drinking habits. Kyle shared that she will be one year sober on July 15. One IG user asked her how she navigates parties without drinking.
“I don’t usually feel like I need anything BUT now and then I may have a mocktail,” Kyle shared. “And this season I did have a non-alcoholic beer a few times🤷🏻♀️.”
The RHOBH veteran has publicly denied using Ozempic on multiple occasions. Earlier this year, the mom of four explained that making her health a priority had resulted in a trimmed down figure.
“NO alcohol, bread, pasta, sugar. I eat protein, fruit and vegetables,” Kyle said, back in January. “Now that I am the weight I want to be, I will have the occasional small amount of pasta etc once in a while. But no alcohol since July 15.”
She added — “I workout every day. Chasing it up between running, cycling, hiking and yoga. Weights & stomach everyday.”
Country artist, Morgan Wade, vouched for the Bravo star and insisted that she puts in the hard work at the gym.
“She’s always worked out, but she’s recently been going super hard and we have the same trainer, Cory, so I kind of connected those two,” Wade told Page Six last month. “She’s super strong and she’s dealing with all those people saying she’s on that weight loss drug, but she’s in such good shape and she works out all the time.”
Last month, Kyle was hit with a flood of fan feedback after Dorit Kemsley shared a pic of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast enjoying time in Spain, on Instagram.
Kyle was snapped in a clenched pose that exposed her ribs, and it wasn’t long before fans and followers were voicing their concerns.
The reality star fessed up to having a breast reduction surgery in May, but credited hours in the gym for her fitter figure.
