The former talk show presenter acknowledges that she may have overreached herself after a year of using Ozempic, a medication that was first developed to treat diabetes but has recently gained popularity for helping people lose weight.
Sharon claims Ozempic altered everything, even though she had gastric band surgery decades prior and tried numerous diets. The outcomes, meanwhile, fell short of her expectations.
A Lifetime Battle With Weight
Sharon Osbourne’s weight loss journey has been well-documented. Years ago, she opted for a gastric band, a decision that helped her shed 100 pounds.
However, the procedure came with its own set of challenges. She eventually had the band removed, explaining that it interfered with her ability to digest food properly.
Reflecting on that time, she shared:

“I felt like such a cheat when I had that band on my stomach. People are saying, ‘You look wonderful!’ And I’d go, ‘Thank you, I just have to leave and vomit.’”
Determined to maintain her weight loss, she turned to different diets, including the Atkins Diet, for which she was once a spokesperson. But her struggle with food addiction made lasting success difficult.
Then, in late 2023, she discovered Ozempic.
“It’s Too Easy to Get Addicted”
Sharon began using Ozempic in December 2023 and was immediately impressed by the results. The pounds melted off effortlessly, and she soon realized how powerful the drug was. However, she also saw the potential dangers—especially for young people.

“I started on Ozempic last December, and I’ve been off it for a while now, but my warning is don’t give it to teenagers; it’s just too easy. You can lose so much weight, and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous.”
While she initially appreciated the rapid weight loss, the downside became clear over time. She simply couldn’t stop losing weight, even after stopping the medication.
“I’m too gaunt and I can’t put any weight on.”
Public Reaction & Self-Reflection
Sharon’s dramatic transformation has not gone unnoticed. Fans have expressed concern over her appearance, with some voicing their thoughts on social media.
“What in the actual f is happening with every single person in this room? They look like they are all dying and malnourished, and their faces are attacking their own face.”
“Sharon, your plastic surgery is out of control.”
“Oh oh oh Ozempic face!!”
“Sharon, what happened to you?”
For Sharon, this latest chapter in her weight loss journey has been a lesson in moderation. She acknowledges that Ozempic helped her achieve a slimmer figure, but it also led her to an extreme she never intended. Now, she’s focused on regaining balance—both in her appearance and in her health.
“You see a drug that promises to make you skinny, and you think, ‘Why not?’ But then you look in the mirror and realize you’ve taken it too far.”
As she moves forward, Sharon Osbourne is determined to embrace a version of herself that isn’t dictated by extreme weight loss or beauty standards. Whether it’s diet drugs, surgery, or society’s expectations, she’s finally ready to step back and find a healthier way forward.
