Why Ozzy Osbourne Is Worried About Sharon Following Ozempic Use

Ozzy Osbourne reportedly is not a fan of his wife Sharon Osbourne's use of Ozempic, a medication intended to help people with Type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar that has since risen in popularity as a controversial weight loss drug.
“Ozzy doesn’t like it. He thinks something is going to happen to me. It’s too good to be true,” Sharon said of her husband's opinion during her recent appearance on Good Morning Britain.
In light of her 74-year-old husband's concerns, Sharon reflected on her decision to use the medication, suggesting that it wasn't her first choice.
"I thought, ‘I’ve tried everything, so I thought I might as well try it,'" she said. "I could do with putting on a few pounds. But at this point, the way my body is, it’s not listening."
"It’s easy to say, ‘This is it. I can eat what I want and keep taking this injection,'" she added. "I think it needs to be in the hands of older people that totally understand that there can be side effects to this. I don’t want young girls [to take it] because the world we live in today, everyone wants to be skinny."
This is the second warning the 71-year-old has issued about the "ease" of using Ozempic for weight loss this month alone, especially when it comes to the younger and more impressionable populations.
Earlier in November, while chatting with the Daily Mail, Sharon reflected on her experience, explaining that she's no longer using Ozempic and hasn't been for months, in part because of how much weight she's lost leading to her "too gaunt" appearance.
"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," she said.
"You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous," Sharon added. "I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42lbs and I can’t afford to lose any more."
