‘That would scare me to death’: Kyle Richards gets real on rumors she uses Ozempic for weight loss

People have been talking about Kyle Richards’ weight for weeks now after a picture on Instagram featuring her ribs sticking out became viral.

Yes, she was too thin for some fans to ignore, and like always, they came to terms with the information by resorting to their customary practice of posting on socials. Social media was laden with fans’ concerns and comments like, “Anyone else concerned for Kyle?” and “Kyle needs an intervention” permeated the space.

Nevertheless, she maintained her position as the leading face of a perfect lifestyle only to be interrupted by talk about the true cause of Richards’ weight loss. Rumors circulated that the frequent intake of diabetes medicine Ozempic hastened the Halloween Kills star’s emaciation.

The news isn’t confirmed but Richards’ self-claimed strategies for weight loss caused by a healthy lifestyle have definitely come under scrutiny. Meanwhile, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star — in her interview with Page Six — has vehemently denied the ongoing rumors of relying on any kind of medication and rather credited old-fashioned ways like arduous physical exercise for accomplishing her goal.

“I can say that I have never tried it and I have never taken it. I’m not on any weight loss drug. If you know me, you know I have terrible anxiety so that would scare me to death. I have never, ever ever taken it.”

Speaking further on the subject, she thanked her trainer, Cory Gregory for subjecting her to grueling workouts as well as singer Morgan Wade for introducing her to Gregory.

Wade — who was familiar with Richards’ commitment to hard workouts — deemed Gregory as the perfect physical trainer for the star. “She’s always worked out, but she’s recently been going super hard and we have the same trainer, Cory, so I kind of connected those two,” he said about recommending Cory to Richards.

However, the public obsession with her dependence on pills outweighed the statements defending her claims, leading Richards to speak out against her victimization by the media. Also because her co-stars Dolores Catania and Jennifer Fessler — who have admitted to using the same drug — were pardoned from similar gossip and public scrutiny.

With no confirmation, we can’t say anything on this topic but will keep our eyes peeled for further updates.
