Fans are now accusing Rachel Fuda’s husband John of using Ozempic for weight loss after the Real Housewives of New Jersey couple uploaded a recent photo. Numerous ‘Housewives’ are rumored to be using the drug, which was originally created to help treat diabetes.
Despite the drug’s growing popularity, there are reports that its users face the risk of facial aging and malnutrition.
After Rachel and John posed in a photo shared by @allrhonjfacts on Instagram, fans began speculating that John is on Ozempic.
“Lipo my ass! He’s on #OZEMPIC,” wrote the fan account who shared the pic.
One critic wrote, “Ozempic meets Statten Island,” while another expressed, “Yeah he’s on ozempic but they are a great lookin couple … just BORING.”
A different user speculated, “So sad that TV brings out the insecurities in people to the point that they desperately try to change their appearance … typically it’s seen more in women.”
A fourth user added, “The saddest part of him doing all this, remember how much she loved his body last season? The way she described him in one of her first confessionals. One season on tv completely changed them.”
A fifth viewer asked, “Why do people do this? There is a point when you lose too much weight … he is there now.”
One fan warned, “They are all on Ozempic, and they’re being short-sided in not considering the long-term damage.”
Rachel’s castmate Jackie Goldschneider once questioned how people will be affected after they stop taking the medication. “I think the problem is gonna be one day people have to go off of it. And then the studies show that you gain all the weight back pretty quickly,” she expressed on the last reunion, via PEOPLE.
