Diabetes medicine is for people with Diabetes.

Weight watchers will rise again once the fallout from Ozempic side effects begins.

[erock]

Everyone is a hypocrite. Don’t waste your time idolizing anyone.

[iouel]

The drug she left them for is NOT for weight loss.

[hukabuktx]

I've heard meth is also a weight loss drug. Omethic.

[mikeglaspey]

How about converting the stock to cash and taking care of Maui? Her credibility is in the tank .

[SofiaShoen]

Really?! Because just 1 year ago you were supporting being fat as being a good thing. What happened to "Body positivity" Oprah?

[EmyKat]

It was obvious she lost massive weight with the past year not from WW, but an another alternative, Ozempic. She’s been on WW for the past 25 years and has not gotten nearly the same result. Ethically, she’s doing the right thing by stepping down.

[Maymaymayok]

She indeed exposes all the lies: WW lies and her own lies

[Leonbergerss]

hows about donating to veterans who let us live free so rich people like her can do what she wants to do

[AnitaSLane]

At the top of the segment, the anchor says, Oprah admitted to using Ozempic. At the end of the segment, the anchor says Oprah has not revealed which weight loss drug she is using. Did anyone else catch that?😲🤷🏽‍♀️

lol if every company’s board member left because of a conflict, there would literally be no more board of directors 😂

[tealeh]

It is really funny, I remember years ago in her talk shows, she said there is no drug for weight loss....no drug...if someday a drugs comes, I will tell you all.... apparently, she can't share it now...

[endlessnameless]

Never drink and drive. Never text and drive. Please...let's stay safe out there! Road accidents are trending up and up and up this year....

[oneanddonetzone]

Says she’s going to donate all of her money/profits… With her track record it will be a minimum amount she’ll justify keeping the liars share… Trying to extol her virtue! The sign of an absolute charlatan! Reminds me of the Russian proverb the more she extolled her virtue the closer we held our silver! She has brought complete discredit to herself

[markcosenza]

The AMA has declared BMI to be racist.

[joelaichner]

I’ve heard, because of Ozempic, we’re using 1% less food today, and they predict, 3% by 2025, food production reduction

[tejanoj]

Politics stressing you out? Let's all go for a 30 minute brisk walk everyday.

[joepipito]

I lost way more weight on COCAINE
FRIENDS TOO

Ozempic isnt the only drug on the market.
