Ricki Lake hits back at accusations she's on Ozempic after losing 30lbs as Barbra Streisand sparks furious backlash for asking Melissa McCarthy if she's using the weight loss drug


Ricki, 55, recently lost 30 pounds in four months and has been open about her weight loss journey while showing off her slimmed-down figure.

Her denial comes during a rising popularity for Ozempic, especially among the rich and famous, with celebrity fans including Sharon Osbourne (pictured last month), Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk and Boy George all admitting to using it While some celebs have owned up to using the medication, others have vehemently denied it and insisted that they achieved their weight loss naturally - fueling a furious wave of 'have they or haven't they' speculation, such as Khloe Kardashian (pictured) The drug is usually prescribed to individuals who have type two diabetes and need to improve their blood sugar, but it's become wildly popular as a weight-loss aid ever since the FDA approved the active ingredient in it, semaglutide, for weight management.
