Ariana Madix reacted to a fan who accused her on Instagram of being on Ozempic after making her debut as the new host of Peacock’s Love Island USA.

After sharing a photo of herself in a stunning gold gown, the Vanderpump Rules star, 38, was met with tons of love and support from her fans, followers, and castmates, and one critical comment from someone who seemed to think she was using the diabetes medication to lose weight.

“Ozempic plus extentions. She’ll fit right in,” the person wrote, along with a laughing-while-crying emoji.

Then, in response, Ariana asked, “Ozempic??” She also joked, via Instagram’s Brands by Bravo, “So you think I’m skinnyyyyyyyy.”

Also in the comments section of her post, Ariana was labeled “a golden goddess” by Pump Rules co-star Scheana Shay, 39, who she didn’t exactly end season 11 on the best terms with, mainly due to the grace Scheana gave to Tom Sandoval, 41, following his months-long affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, 29.

“Good as gold vibes!” Ariana agreed as Brittany Cartwright, 35, said she was looking “gorgeous.”

A number of other Pump Rules castmates also weighed in.

“IM NOT WELL!!!” proclaimed Ariana’s Something About Her business partner, Katie Maloney, 37.

“I will heal you,” replied Ariana.

“HERE WE GOOOOO!!” James Kennedy, 32, added.

Even Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth, 55, reacted to Ariana’s stunning Love Island debut with a message that read, “Take THAT, everyone.”

Meanwhile, Kristen Doute, 41, had a hilarious reaction to Ariana’s pic.

“I wanna be on you. I mean, hi gorgeous,” she stated as Ariana responded with a series of heart-eyed emojis.

At the end of last month, following a tense reunion, Scheana said that despite the ups and downs she and Ariana went through amid season 11, they ended the season in a decent place, with Ariana giving her a hug and telling her, “I love you.”

Vanderpump Rules season 12 is expected to go into production sometime later this year.
