Talk about being shady! Bravo star Melissa Gorga claims she’s the only RHONJ cast member who’s not on Ozempic.
RHONJ star Melissa Gorga claimed she is the “only one on the cast that does not take Ozempic” during an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of “Sherri.”
“I work out really, really hard. To each their own for everything, but no, I don’t take it,” the 45-year-old told host Sherri Shephard.
The Bravo star, who appeared on the talk show alongside her husband, Joe Gorga, said she is “happy” her co-stars are taking the weight loss drug to “feel good” and “look good.”
The conversation came up when Sherri recalled that Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs, who appeared on her talk show earlier this month, claimed “most of the cast” has used the weight loss medication to shed unwanted pounds.
“I don’t know why [people are quiet about it] because there’s no shame in it,” Dolores Catania said on the May 2 episode of “Sherri.”
“If a doctor gives it to you, if you’re doing things right, you’re becoming healthier by losing weight, it’s a bunch of great things that come along with this.”
The 53-year-old went on to boast that she’s at her “high school weight” and has no plans to stop using Ozempic.
“I’m gonna be honest because it’s right,” she added.
“After menopause, it’s so hard to lose weight,” Margaret Josephs interjected. “And then you’re shamed for it if you’re heavy.”
She continued, “It shuts off that food noise; my blood work is great. … [Before Ozempic] I couldn’t do anything. It doesn’t matter if I was eating right, exercising, so I don’t know why there’s any shame in it if it’s helpful to people.”
RHONJ’s Jennifer Fessler has also admitted to using Ozempic. Meanwhile, Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin have been accused of taking the weight loss drug but have never confirmed the rumors.
However, Jackie Goldschneider has vowed never to take the weight loss medication. This is the same with Danielle Cabral, who earlier this year criticized people who use Ozempic instead of dieting and exercising.
RHONJ airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
