Melissa Gorga thought Kyle Richards used Ozempic for hot new bod

Written by on January 26, 2023

Melissa Gorga admitted that she also thought Kyle Richards used the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug Ozempic to transform her body.

“I’m not gonna lie, when I first saw her, I was like, ‘Ooh she’s taking that stuff,’” Gorga, 43, said on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” on Thursday,

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star said she later changed her mind after Richards, 54, publicly denied using Ozempic last week.

“And then, when she said that, I’m like, ‘Oh OK maybe not.’ You know, I don’t know. I didn’t even text her and ask her,” Gorga admitted.

However, host Jeff Lewis wasn’t buying that the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star never used the popular drug.

“I think what she did is probably went off of it to be like, ‘I’m not on it!’ So, she’s not technically lying,” Lewis, 52, said, adding that he didn’t believe Richards’ explanation that she cut out carbs, alcohol and sugar from her diet.

“I love her, but it’s not just not drinking since July – I mean, come on,” the radio personality said, while Gorga chimed in that Richards “looks great.”

Gorga – who previously owned up to getting a nose job, occasional fillers and Botox – implied that she had never tried Ozempic herself, but she did admit that there are people in her “inner circle” and “family members” who use the viral drug.

“They are turning into stick figures and like, I’m not about that,” Gorga said. “I like more of a womanly figure like Jennifer Lopez – to me, that’s a body.”

Lewis, on the other hand, confessed that he’s been looking into a prescription and even claimed he found one option of three months for $1,300 to “lose the 10, 12, 14 pounds.”

Gorga — who became close friends with Richards after starring on Season 1 of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” together — commented on the drug just days after the “Halloween Ends” actress shut down rumors that she used Ozempic to achieve her new hot bod. Instead, Richards said she simply changed her diet.

“I started losing weight and I felt so good,” she shared on the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast on Monday. “I was like, ‘Why would I go back to that?’”

“So, I still have not had alcohol at all, and you know, I’ll have a bite of birthday cake here and there but that’s it,” the reality star added.

Meanwhile, Gorga’s “RHONJ” co-star Jackie Goldschneider, who has publicly shared her lifelong struggles with anorexia, recently condemned Ozempic, writing that it is, “an eating disorder in a needle.”
