She initially said it was what was “working for me now,” then noted that she felt Ozempic was “not a permanent thing” for her.
In April, Oshry spoke toPageSixabout losing 70 lbs. on the medication beforestopping her usage.
“I feel very relieved because this idea of the day I get off Ozempic was always like a scary thing for me. It was something I always thought about, but I was just trying to focus on my journey at the time,” she said. “And now that I’ve made it, I feel really good.”

Oshry also stated that the “witch hunt” to weed out which stars in Hollywood are using the medication needs to end.
“If a doctor prescribed a celebrity, who’s a human being, a drug, it’s literally none of our business,” she said. “The speculation, the witch hunt, bothers me so, so, so much because what goes on between someone and their doctor is literally none of your business."
“And if you think they look skinny, good for you, move on,” she continued. “Like, focus on yourself.”
