“I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want to lose weight,” said Goldschneider, who’s been vocal about recovering from aneating disorder. “I mean, I know more than anyone how addictive it is to want to lose weight. I think the problem is gonna be one day people have to go off of it. And then the studies show that yougain all the weight backpretty quickly.”
“You’re going to have all these people who are addicted to being thin, who suddenly are saying, ‘Oh, my God, what do I do? How do I get back to being thin?’ ” she explained on the show. “And that’s where dangerous habits are going to come in and that is what scares me.”
In February, Goldschneider, 46,addressed her concernswith those in the Bravo-verse who misuse Ozempic on the Page SixVirtual Reali-Teapodcast.
“A lot of people in the Housewives world are on Ozempic,” she said. “A lot of my friends are in the Housewives world, so it was tough for me to come back, and suddenly no one’s eating when we go out to dinner.”
Other housewives have spoken out against allegations that they have lost weight with the help of Ozempic, includingReal Housewives of Beverly HillsstarsKyle RichardsandGarcelle Beauvais.
