Jessel Taank is shutting down Ozempic rumors in a New York minute.
The Real Housewives of New York City star recently addressed speculation about her glow-up between seasons 14 and 15 of the Bravo reality series, specifically whether or not she's gotten plastic surgery or has used the Type 2 diabetes medication to lose weight.
“I think that when you’re in reality TV, it’s so natural to be like, ‘Oh, she got plastic surgery or she did this or she’s on Ozempic,’” she told Us Weekly at Hayu FanFest in London. “I actually f--king hate Ozempic. I would never put needles in myself.”
However, Taank isn't surprised by fans speculating over her appearance.
“I think it’s just the natural reaction to people who make positive change," the fashion publicist added, "physically or otherwise."
In fact, Taank, 45, revealed how she's learned to tune out online haters who comment on her looks.
“Obviously social media and that sort of wave of overwhelming feedback, it can be quite harsh at times,” she noted. “I learned to block it out and I actually think these people are really funny because some of the stuff they say is so insane.”
“Now, I actually just laugh at the comments," the mother of two added, "and I read all of them and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry that you’re so sad.’”
Taank certainly isn't the first Housewife to find herself at the center of the Ozempic weight loss conversations.
While stars like The Real Housewives of Dubai's Caroline Stanbury, The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss and The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Dolores Catania have all spoken out about trying the injectable semaglutide medication for weight management, several have vehemently denied using Ozempic, including Kyle Richards.
"I have never tried ozempic and this is not from plastic surgery," The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills O.G. emphasized on social media last year amid her ongoing fitness journey. "I did have a breast reduction in May. I'm honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery the credit makes you feel better then pop off sister."
