(CNN) — Amy Schumer doesn’t hold back when it comes to celebrities and diet trends.
The actress and comedian visited “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” on Thursday, and the topic of Ozempic came up during the episode, with host Cohen acknowledging the fact that he’s intrigued to find out which celebrities have used the drug for type diabetes. 2 to lose weight.
“About a year ago, I tried it,” Schumer said, going on to mention that after using it, she “was one of those people who felt so sick I couldn’t play with my son.”
She added that while she was “so skinny”, her young son was “throwing a ball” at her and she was unable to participate due to feeling unwell on the medication.
Although the drug turned out not to be for her, Schumer acknowledged that other public figures have taken it, and criticized (without naming anyone in particular) those who have tried to cover it up.
“Everybody’s been lying saying, ‘Oh, smaller portions,'” he told Cohen. “Shut up. You’re on Ozempic or one of those things or you’ve got work done. Cut it out.”
“Be realistic with people,” he added. “When I had liposuction, I said that I had liposuction.”
Ozempic, also known as Wegovy, is the brand name for the generic drug Semaglutide. Wegovy is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for weight loss. The most frequent side effects of the drug are headaches and gastrointestinal problems.
