Hacks Star Megan Stalter Slams Ozempic Users for Lying About Weight-Loss Drug

Hollywood's obsession with the weight-loss craze linked to Ozempic isn't sitting well with Megan Stalter. The "Hacks" star recently aired her thoughts on the topic during an appearance on the "Grindr Presents: Who’s The A--hole? with Katya" podcast. Stalter, known for her role as Kayla in the Max hit show, didn't hold back when asked about people lying about their use of the controversial drug.

"Let’s just say the trips to the bathroom would say otherwise," Stalter quipped, perhaps a little too vividly. "We know if you’re on it because you’re s----ing your pants. How is that hotter than being fat? That is insane to me. That is crazy." The actress made it clear she's not jumping on the Ozempic bandwagon, despite the pressures of Hollywood’s beauty standards.

Ozempic, originally approved by the FDA as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes, has skyrocketed in popularity as an off-label weight-loss drug. But Stalter isn’t buying the hype. "I would rather be 500 pounds than s----ing all day," she added bluntly. "If you’re taking a drug on purpose to s--- your brains out just so you lose 10 pounds, honey, we liked you a little chubbier." That’s one way to shut down the conversation!

Other celebrities have also spoken out about their experiences with Ozempic, shedding light on the risks and realities of using the drug for weight loss. Amy Schumer, for instance, admitted to trying Ozempic three years ago and described her ordeal as "bedridden," suffering from extreme nausea and lack of energy. "I lost 30 pounds so quick," Schumer recalled, "but I couldn't lift my head off the pillow. So what's the point?" Fair question.

James Corden similarly shared his trials with Ozempic on his "This Life of Mine" podcast. "I tried it for a bit, but what I realized was nothing about my eating has anything to do with being hungry," Corden noted. The comedian humorously added, "You’re looking at someone who’s eaten a king-size Dairy Milk in a carwash. None of that was like, ‘Oh, I’m so hungry.’ It’s something else." Indeed, weight-loss drugs may address hunger, but they don’t necessarily tackle emotional or habitual eating.

While Ozempic has become a talking point for many stars, it’s clear that not everyone is buying into its allure. For Megan Stalter, the Hollywood weight-loss trend isn’t just questionable—it’s a hard pass.
