Owning it! Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson admits to using Ozempic to kick-start her recent weight loss, but that’s not all the Bravoleb owns up to!
Just days after denying claims that she used Ozempic to lose weight, Emily Simspon confessed to using Ozempic and liposuction to shed excess weight while appearing on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.
“I don’t know what happened. I think I just went for four months hard when we were filming, and I ate too much, drank too much, and just didn’t get enough sleep, didn’t exercise,” Emily shared, adding that she was feeling “really depressed” since she “gained weight.”
When Emily went to the doctor after filming wrapped for season 17 of RHOC, she learned she was pre-diabetic. During the appointment, the doctor suggested Emily try the diabetes-turned-weight loss drug Ozempic, which she agreed to do.
“So I did. I did that in December. For one month, and you know, that was a great kickstart for me,” she explained, noting that she lost five to seven pounds on Ozempic.
Ultimately, Emily stopped taking the medicine because it left her exhausted.
“I didn’t like the way it made me feel lethargic, and it made me just not have a lot of energy,” she admitted.
Then in January of this year, Emily went under the knife. The Bravoleb had a breast reduction along with liposuction on her arms, which she reveals “always bothered” her.
“Just the surgery alone was just, I felt like it was just a huge difference in my overall look just to have the thinner arms and just the smaller chest,” she shared. “And I was so happy with the surgery, and I have so much muscle underneath that when he did the liposuction, my arms were just jacked.”
It’s great to see Emily being honest, but I don’t believe she only took Ozempic for just one month. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s been taking it this whole time, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Emily looks amazing, but she was beautiful before as well. Whatever makes her happy is great.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Wednesdays at 8 on Bravo.

I always thought she looked pretty good the way she was. True she was heavier than the normal housewife we see on the shows, but she carried it well and attractively.
Everything I have read indicates that the weight loss from all of these treatments meant for diabetics is reversed one the treatment stops unless the individual continues a maintenance dosage. So, we may see Emily (Kyle, Erika and the other HW’s who have taken it) revert to their old bodies at some point.
She looks amazing.
She doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. It’s HER business and should be left between her and her healthcare provider unless SHE and SHE alone genuinely WANTS to share that information with whomever she chooses to share it. Sorry, not sorry but neither Emily nor any other ‘celeb’ (z list or otherwise ?) is responsible for how we feel about ourselves, WE are. And it starts with putting the mirrors aside. We are more than our sum of parts. It’s not Emily’s responsibility to remind us of that.
She can carry the weight gain really well. She looks great either way.
Good for her for admitting it!! Kudos to Emily and Dolores Catania for being honest and not lying like the other HWs in the franchise.
I agree , she looks great!
I also agree, that I think she’s was on that stuff longer. But whatever ?????.
I thought the same thing…she was on it longer than a month to lose that kind of weight. I also think she lost more than 30 pounds. She was pretty heavy. She looks fabulous.
I agree…she looks great. I think the breast reduction makes her look like she lost more weight than she actually did.
