I called this in real time. We were posting on the real housewives of Beverly Hills’ Kyle Richards. Folks were saying she has gotten very thin in the past year and everyone was saying how unusual it is that someone who is 50 or so who has always had some weight on them their whole life all of a sudden is skinny. People started posting that they thought that she was on Ozempic or something similar.

People were asking about some bad side effects that they read about. I said how I had just seen this on 60 minutes and questioned whether the manufacturer of the drug owns the network because there was no discussion of any bad side effects of any of those meds or similar. It was strictly presented as the cure-all, and that insurance won’t pay for it unless you’re diabetic.

I remember having previously read about some dangerous side effects from that med and I was surprised that this piece didn’t have it. As soon as I saw this headline, I knew exactly which episode they were talking about.
