Jessica Simpson Speaks Out About Rumors That She Used Ozempic For Weight Loss

Jessica Simpson shut down rumors on the way she slimmed down. In a recent interview with Bustle, the 42-year-old singer addressed claims she lost weight after using Ozempic, the type 2 diabetes medicine that has become a fad weight loss drug for some. “Oh Lord. I mean, it is not [Ozempic], it’s willpower. I’m like, ‘do people want me to be drinking again?’ Because that’s when I was heavier. ‘Or they want me to be having another baby?’ My body can’t do it,” she said. Jessica went on to get candid about her weight fluctuations over the years and how it has helped her. “I am fortunate to have been every size. For [my] brand, understanding the women [who buy our products], and for my psyche,” she revealed. Even though the “With You” songstress is confident with her body, negative comments “still hurt.” “Am I going to let the negativity derail me? No, I’m too old for that. I am too connected to myself right now to let that derail me. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt,” she said.
