“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania has been open about using Ozempic to lose weight.
Catania told Andy Cohen on Tuesday’s “Watch What Happens Live” that she’s been using semaglutide — which is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, as well as being used for weight loss — for about six weeks, ahead of the upcoming reunion show.
Catania insisted “not one” of her co-stars wasn’t also taking Ozempic, telling Cohen: “I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon.”
She said of whether there were any side effects: “Just not hungry.”

Catania clarified that she’s “actually [taking] Mounjaro,” revealing the medication was “another part” of the Ozempic branch.
Catania’s fellow “WWHL” guest, Marysol Patton, immediately said that was “the amped-up version, the fast forward to Skinnyville.”

That’s really disappointing! There’s sk many people who can’t access it, because of people who just want to jump on the bandwagon!

I know of someone unable to get it for her diabetes because of the shortage. This is sickening!
