Teddi Mellencamp, an alum of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, shared her thoughts on the Ozempic craze that is gaining momentum in the Bravo world. In an exclusive interview with Page Six, she said, “I’m not here to really judge whatever it is that somebody’s doctor recommends for them. I know, for me, the most important thing for my mental health is moving my body daily, eating foods that fuel me and make me feel good.

A number of reality stars have admitted to using Ozempic to slim down, including “Shahs of Sunset” OG Golnesa “GG” Garachedaghi and “Real Housewives of New Jersey” personality Dolores Catania. Garachedaghi, 41, confessed in March that she lost 11 pounds after taking semaglutide, the generic version of the trendy weight-loss drug. Catania, 52, recently clarified to Page Six that she takes the medication — intended to treat Type II diabetes — for medical reasons.
Meanwhile, Jackie Goldschneider — “friend of” the “RHONJ” cast — slammed “Housewives” for using Ozempic in a February episode of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. She said, “It gets me so fired up. I’m horrified by it.” Mellencamp joked that she and the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Tamra Judge discuss ozempic so much on their podcast, “Two Ts in a Pod”, that “it should be a sponsor of the damn podcast.”
Mellencamp also expressed her disapproval of speculations that celebrities are using versions of Ozempic if they happen to drop weight fast.
