‘RHONJ’ star Jennifer Fessler hints at using Ozempic for weight loss: ‘Whatever works’

She’s Fess-ing up.

Jennifer Fessler suggested that she used a version of the diabetes drug Ozempic to help her lose weight.

“I did lose a lot of weight. I took peptides and I don’t know if you’ve heard of medications associated with [peptides] that help people lose weight,” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star said during her Tuesday appearance on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”

Cohen then pressed Fessler on whether she was referring to the popular medication taking Hollywood by storm.

“Like Ozempic?” the Bravo honcho, 54, asked, to which Fessler coyly replied, “You said it, I didn’t. But … whatever works, here I am.”

Fessler also copped to undergoing other cosmetic procedures to achieve her “glow up.”

“What am I on? Well, I did have a facelift. I did,” she said, adding that she also got “a nose job.”

Fessler also thanked her plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk for her complete facial transformation.

“He’s the best,” Fesser gushed, adding of her many cosmetic alterations, “Yeah, I don’t play, I don’t play.”

Earlier this month, Fessler claimed that her doctor put her on “a form of weight loss drug Ozempic” without her knowledge to treat her menopause.

“I didn’t realize what he gave me,” she told Daily Mail at the time. “It’s like a bunch of different things, like estrogen pellets. He gave me a mix of peptides but I found out it’s a form of Ozempic.”

Fessler also claimed that she did not go on the prescription drug to help her lose weight.

“Listen, I got on it because I went to a doctor for menopause symptoms,” she explained.

Peptides are prescribed to menopausal and peri-menopausal women to help balance hormones and assist in alleviating other side effects, the website reported.

Semaglutide, the active ingredient in drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, is reportedly a kind of peptide that triggers the production of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that is released naturally in the body from the intestines after meals.

The hormone helps to control blood sugar levels and can cause loss of appetite.

While Fessler admitted to using the drug for weight loss, other members of the “Real Housewives” franchise have denied turning to Ozempic for their slim figures.

In January, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards slammed speculation that she was on Ozempic after posting photos of her svelte body.

“I have never tried ozempic and this is not from plastic surgery,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 54, wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery the credit makes you feel better then pop off sister.”

And “Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Nepola, 55, also shut down accusations that she and co-star Marysol Patton, 56, were using the Type II diabetes shot.

“It’s for energy, and it has, like, other nutrients,” Nepola exclusively told Page Six earlier this month. “The doctor had given it to Marysol because she felt weak and lethargic, and [it] maybe had to do something with her diet, but the B-12 always adds to anybody’s health.”

Other stars have sparked unfounded rumors of using Semaglutide brands for weight loss including Mindy Kaling and Khloé Kardashian, though the latter denied the accusation.

The trend is so ubiquitous with the stars that Jimmy Kimmel even joked about Ozempic while hosting the 2023 Oscars.
