Hacks' Meg Stalter called out those who "lie" about using Ozempic, saying, "We know if you’re on it because you’re s—ing your pants." She added, "How is that hotter than being fat? That is insane to me. I would rather be 500 lbs. than s—ing all day. That’s so gross ... if you’re taking a drug on purpose just so you lose 10 pounds then, honey, we liked you a little chubbier."

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 runner-up Peppermint told Page Six she has lost 100 pounds, after years of struggling to manage her weight, admitting she first got on Ozempic after she was "diagnosed as pre-diabetic a couple of years ago." She added, "I’m very grateful that I’m at a point now where I have access to levels of healthcare that I didn’t have before ... I was really worried that my life was going to change irreversibly once I crossed that threshold [into diabetes]."

Amy Schumer shared on The Howard Stern show that when she tried Ozempic almost three years ago, it caused her to be "bedridden" with nausea. She explained her bad reaction was due to the GDF15 gene, that causes her to be more prone to vomiting. "I lost 30 pounds so quick. I looked great and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?" she shared, adding, "I tried it and I was vomiting and I'm in bed and my son's like, 'Can you play tag?' I'm like, 'I can't.' I was shriveling."

Josh Gad is using GLP-1 medication for weight loss, calling it a "miracle drug" after losing 40-lbs on a different drug that caused intestinal issues. "I'm figuring out this new one, and it is life-changing," he said on Armchair Expert, adding that he knows he still needs a "healthy relationship" with both food and exercise. "Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating myself by doing this," he added, saying the weight loss made him wonder, "I've always been the funny fat guy. Can I be the funny skinny guy?"

Real Housewives star Cynthia Bailley shared about her negative experience with Ozempic. In an interview, she explained she tried Ozempic because her peers were using it but ended up stopping, explaining it took the fun out of eating: "I didn't enjoy it because when I get my crab cake and my salad and my oysters and my BBQ ribs, I want to enjoy it. I was just literally looking at the food like, 'What is this? What am I supposed to do with this?'" She doesn't extend any hate to people who use Ozempic, but she prefers the support system and more traditional methods of Weight Watchers.

Model Brooks Nader shared that she briefly tried Ozempic during its early popularity, but ended up giving up the weight-loss drug for Dancing With the Stars. In a recent interview with Us Magazine, she said, "It made me really nauseous. I liked it — I am not going to lie — and when I went on Dancing with the Stars, I could not do both." Nader added the drug made her lose "a little bit of the motivation and the strength to work out" and "It was one or the other, and I picked [DWTS]. I put the shot away."

Bonnie Chapman, daughter of the late Beth Chapman and Dog the Bounty Hunter, went from 196 pounds to 126 pounds. However, she used the weight loss drug Tirezepatide after having a negative experience with Ozempic. Of the latter, she said, "I could not eat without feeling nauseous. I could not eat at all, sometimes. My body did not like it." However, with Tirezepatide, she said she was able to overcome nausea within a week, eat smaller portions and feel full, while not actively craving foods that could contribute to weight gain.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan confirmed to PEOPLE he's lost 50 pounds thanks to Mounjaro. This after telling Us Magazine he realized he needed to make a change when he was around "probably 270" pounds. "I was so paranoid that I was going to be nauseous that I kind of put it off, but then it kind of worked," he told the outlet, adding it's "odd" there's a "stigma" around using the drugs. "I'm kind of like a square Midwesterner. I will never look super thin," he added.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's daughter Bonnie Chapman shared an Instagram video, in which she revealed she's "lost 58 pounds in the last 10 months" by using tirzepatide, and praised the weight loss drug. The 25-year-old said it was "impossible" for her to lose weight in the past due to having PCOS. Chapman said tirzepatide made it so she processes food "a little bit slower" so she "stay[s] full longer." She added, "Here I am, 10 months later, I am so in love with the results. I am able to look at myself in the mirror and feel so proud of where I've gotten. I am at my goal weight."

Bunnie XO shared her recent experiences with tirzepatide on her Dumb Blonde podcast, saying that after five days she almost went to the hospital she was so dehydrated from diarrhea. She praised husband Jelly Roll's tour nurse: "She gave me two IV bags and some magnesium, and I felt like a new woman." She says she's lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks, but is taking the meds "to regulate my hormones because I believe I have PCOS." It's been an up-and-down experience, but she told her followers she's "back to pooping normally in case everybody wants to know."
