Sharon Osbourne Has Been Open About Ozempic Regrets: See Her Quotes About Weight Loss on the Drug

Down 30 Pounds

Sharon first revealed on The Talk U.K. in May 2023 that she was on a weight loss drug — she didn’t name Ozempic at the time — and lost 30 pounds in four months. Despite eating “normally” again after she stopped taking it, she never “put on a pound.”

Harsh Side Effects

Sharon opened up about Ozempic’s side effects, which include nausea and other digestive issues, during an August 2023 appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.

“You have a weight problem and you’ve tried everything, and then somebody says take this injection and you’re going to be skinny,” she said. “For me, the first few weeks was f–king s–t because you just throw up all the time. You feel so nauseous. After a couple of weeks it goes [away].”

Enough Is Enough

In September, Sharon admitted that she was down 42 pounds when she stopped taking Ozempic and didn’t want to lose any more weight.

“You can’t stay on it forever, firstly,” she said on Talk TV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored. “I’ve lost 42 pounds now and it’s just enough. It’s just time to stop, I didn’t actually want to go this thin but it just happened.”

Don’t Give It to Teens

During a November 2023 interview with Daily Mail, Sharon said she was “too gaunt” and couldn’t “put any weight on” even though she wanted to get above 100 pounds again. She also warned people to not let teenagers try Ozempic.

“My warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy,” she added. “You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous. I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 pounds and I can’t afford to lose any more.”

What Ozzy Thinks

Sharon’s husband, Ozzy Osbourne, has now started to worry about her. She revealed on Good Morning Britain that the heavy metal musician “doesn’t like” how thin Sharon has become.

“He’s scared that something is going to happen to me,” Sharon said. “He says, ‘You’ve got skinny then something else is going to happen.’ He’s always thinking about the downside — that it’s too good to be true.”

No Regrets

Despite her struggles to gain weight back, Sharon admitted on the U.K. talk show Loose Women in January 2024 that she didn’t “regret” taking Ozempic.

“Everything with weight with me was, ‘I want it now,’” she said. “The injections that I was on worked, but it just seems that now I can’t put anything back on really.” Sharon added that she wished she could gain 10 pounds back.
