"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Heather Dubrow is speaking out in defense of celebrities who use Ozempic.

The 54-year-old television personality slammed critics for "shaming" stars over taking the diabetes medication, which has also become a popular weight loss drug.

"I’m over this whole Ozempic shaming thing, and I’m also over people asking, ‘Are you on Ozempic?’" Dubrow told Us Weekly in an interview published on Sunday.

She continued, "Would you ask someone, ‘Are you on a beta-blocker? Cholesterol? What are your statins? What’s that looking like?’ It’s private medical information. I don’t think it’s anyone’s business."

The New York native added that Ozempic and other injectable semiglutide drugs "[seemed] to be working wonders" for diabetics before the medications started being used for weight loss.

Dubrow, who married celebrity plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow in 1999, went on to draw a comparison between Ozempic and Botox cosmetic injections

"I think it’s gonna end up being like Botox was [when it] first came out," Dubrow told the outlet. "I remember, I think Terry and I had been married, like, a year or two, and InStyle magazine interviewed me and they said, ‘What’s the strangest thing you have in your refrigerator?’ And I said, ‘Botox.’ And everyone was like, ‘[Dramatic gasp.] She said, Botox.’"

The reality star continued, "And I was like, ‘Hey, I am married to a plastic surgeon and I get injected every couple of months. It’s good.’ And now, you know, you can’t spit in New York City and not hit a Botox center on a street corner. I mean, it’s everywhere."

"I feel like these miracle weight loss drugs are gonna end up being the same thing," she added.

Dubrow also pointed out that Ozempic and similar drugs might be healthier than other diet methods that she had used in the past.

"Plus, back in my day, what did we do? I took Dexatrim, I smoked cigarettes and I drank Diet Coke," she recalled. "Oh, that was a healthy, great plan."

For his part, Terry, 64, told Us Weekly that he doesn't believe the positive effects of Botox and Ozempic are equivalent.

"These Ozempic-type drugs aren’t the new Botox," the "Botched" star said. "They’re better. They’re Botox, liposuction, breast augmentation, facelifts."

He continued, "Put it all together, and you’ve got a drug that’s not only making people look better and feel better, it’s treating the number one risk factor for heart disease, diabetes and cancer. So, this is an incredibly powerful positive thing that is truly the most significant, I think, medical breakthrough in history."

Ozempic was originally approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, but the medication has increasingly been prescribed off-brand for weight loss. In 2021, semaglutide was approved by the FDA under the brand name Wegovy, which is intended for chronic weight management. 

Tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro, is another Type 2 diabetes drug that has been used for weight loss. Over the past few years, there has been an explosion in the popularity of the drugs.

The diet craze has stirred controversy since shortages of semiglutides have made the drugs harder to obtain for diabetics who need them to manage their conditions. In addition, the relatively new drugs have sparked concern among doctors over their potential long and short-term side effects.

The Josh Harris era has begun for the Washington Commanders as their new owner saw his team’s first victory under his wing – even if it was just a preseason matchup against the Cleveland Browns. 

After the game, head coach Ron Rivera delivered a speech in the Commanders’ locker room, where he felt it was only right that Harris receive the game ball for what they hope is the first of many winning feelings.

"This is a start, preseason game, but nonetheless, a win is a win – to our new owner, Mr. Harris," Rivera said as he gave Harris the ball.

The Commanders’ players called out "Speech!" as they wanted to hear from Harris. He obliged.

"I’m proud to be part of this family, man. Thank you for delivering the win. I love you guys," he said briefly.

Rivera added, "Let’s get him one for real, too."

It wasn’t the prettiest of wins for Harris’ first taste of the NFL, though, as Rivera pointed out. It is the preseason, though, so rust is to be expected.

"We can make it easier on ourselves by doing the things that we need to get done and get done the right way," Rivera explained prior to giving the game ball to Harris. "Too many mistakes, too many things that we did that we shouldn’t have done – understand that. Understand we will learn from this, and we will get better from there, but a win is a win. And that’s how you get started – go out and do things that you’re supposed to do when you need to do them."

Harris purchased the Commanders for a record $6.05 billion from Dan Snyder, whose tenure as the club's owner was marred with scandals that included a toxic workplace environment and an investigation into sexual harassment.

Since the deal was voted through by the other NFL owners, Harris has quickly shown his face around the team’s facilities, being present for the team’s first practice and making sure he was watching the entire first preseason game as well.

Harris, who also owns stakes in the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, knows what it takes to produce a quality product on and off the playing field while making sure fans are happy with the organization.

"First of all, it’s the city’s team – it’s not my team," Harris, who grew up in the D.C. area, said via NBC Washington after the game. "But it was amazing. I’m so happy to be here and be part of it, and a win’s a win, preseason or not. Everyone’s healthy and let’s go."

COMMANDERS' RON RIVERA SAYS HE HAS A LOT TO PROVE TO NEW OWNERSHIP GROUP

The Commanders were dead last in fan attendance last year and 31st in 2021. But the arrival of Harris has already seen enthusiastic fans returning to practices and now the team’s first preseason game – and that was on the road.

Washington will host their first-ever game at FedExField under Harris, and fans are expected to flood the stands with optimism for this season and beyond under new leadership.

Harris may be focused more on Sept. 10 when the Commanders open Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, but Aug. 21 against the Baltimore Ravens will certainly be another milestone as he sees the home crowd for the first time.
