Kelly Osbourne raves about 'amazing' weight-loss drug Ozempic despite mother Sharon's bad experience - and she says critics are just JEALOUS
Kelly Osbourne has made it clear that she's a big fan of the weight-loss drug Ozempic and its competitors — despite previously admitting that she went 'too far' in her quest to lose her post-baby weight last year.
'I think it's amazing,' the 39-year-old reality star–turned–television presenter said of the drug on January 30 at Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala, according to E! News.
Her thumbs up for the medication was somewhat surprising, considering how public her mother Sharon Osbourne, 71, has been about her negative experience using it.
Part of the appeal to Kelly was that she found it less 'boring' than changing one's diet and increasing exercise to lose weight.
'There are a million ways to lose weight, why not do it through something [that] isn’t as boring as working out?' she continued.
Kelly Osbourne, 39, said the weight-loss drug Ozempic was 'amazing' last month, according to E! News. She even claimed critics of it were merely jealous; seen February 4 in LA

The daughter of Ozzy Osbourne went further, accusing critics of the medication and similar drugs of being jealous or deceitful.
'People hate on it because they want to do it,' she claimed. 'And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they can’t afford it.'
However, she thought some of those complaints might evaporate in the near future.
'Unfortunately, right now it’s something that is very expensive but it eventually won’t be because it actually works,' Kelly added.
Her latest comments come after she admitted in December that she is interested in going under the knife.
'I think I've decided what I want for Christmas,' she teased on the Osbournes podcast, before admitting that she wanted 'plastic surgery.'
'Kelly, don't! Don't start,' her father Ozzy shot back.
'Well, I just think it's my time,' the mother-of-one replied, but Sharon jumped in to say it was 'too early.'
However, she admitted that she was only a few years older than Kelly when she began getting cosmetic procedures.
However, Sharon has been open about the regrets she harbors after undergoing several procedures.
Last year, Osbourne told the Daily Star that 'I’ve been messed up many times,' and she recounted having to get a facelift repaired after it left her looking like 'Quasimodo' from The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
Kelly has also been open in the past about the pressure to change her appearance.

Kelly admitted last year that she had gone 'too far' in her attempt to lose her baby weight after welcoming son Sidney
During a September 2023 appearance on Scheana Shay's Scheananigans podcast, she admitted that she went 'too far' trying to lose her baby weight after welcoming her son Sidney 10 months earlier with her partner, the Slipknot member Sid Wilson.
'[I was] on a mission after having the baby to lose all [my] baby weight,' she said.
'Then I was like, "Well, I lost all the baby weight. Let's see how far I can go with it." And then went a little too far,' she added, before praising Rihanna for expanding the public's conceptions about what outfits are appropriate for pregnant people to wear.
Prior to that, Kelly admitted in 2020 that she had undergone gastric sleeve surgery to help her lose 85 pounds.
