Fans’ reaction to Crystal Kung Minkoff’s take on the Ozempic craze

Netizens were disappointed with Crystal Kung Minkoff’s statement over Page Six’s Ozempic question. She stated that she thought about trying it. Although the RHOBH star admitted it wouldn’t be wise in her condition, fans still felt she should not have implied trying the drug.

A Twitter user mentioned that Crystal should be “advocating against it,” especially when she has an eating disorder.

Many Instagram users slammed the reality TV star for her take on the Ozempic craze:

While a single statement irked fans, Crystal Kung Minkoff has actually said a lot about the particular drug trend in Hollywood.

During Dorit Kemsley’s Homeless Not Toothless Hollywood Gala Saturday night event at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton, a Page Six reporter asked Crystal:

“I am curious to know what are your thoughts on the Ozempic craze in Hollywood and the entertainment industry?”

Crystal replied:

“From someone who has struggled their whole life, I’ve always looked for things to fix for me. And I never judge or look down on anyone that finds different avenues for it. I would be lying if I [say] I haven’t thought about it. And then I have to check myself if that’s right for my recovery and my…I’m in a very specific situation [referring her eating disorder].”

She continued:

“The only thing for me is from what I understand, there’s a shortage for people with diabetes, in which case, I think that people should completely stop using a recreation, not recreation, for just vanity.”

For those unaware, Ozempic is an FDA-approved prescription medication prescribed for adults with Type-2 diabetes. It is also considered an anti-obesity medication.

Earlier, a few reality TV stars like Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa “GG” Garachedaghi and RHONJ’s Dolores Catania have reportedly admitted to using Ozempic.

Meanwhile, Crystal is all set to return for the upcoming season of RHOBH.
