Amid craze for using the diabetic drug to lose some weight, some celebrities make use of their platform to publicly condemn the inappropriate usage of the drug.

AceShowbiz - Jameela Jamil wanted people to know the "potential harm" from using Ozempic solely to lose weight. "I have said what I have said about the potential harm of people using the diabetes medication for weight loss only. I fear for everyone in the next few years," she wrote via Instagram in January 2023.
"The Good Place" actress went on to explain, "Rich people are buying this stuff off prescription for upwards of 1000 dollars. Actual diabetics are seeing shortages. It's a now mainstream craze in Hollywood. HOPE this doesn't end the same way we were told opioids were safe. There is little to no discussion of the side effects in any advertising online. I'm deeply concerned but I can't change any of your minds because fat phobia has our generation in a chokehold."
