Terry Dubrow called out Kelly Clarkson for 'Ozempic-shaming' after assuring her fans that she was no
Terry Dubrow called out Kelly Clarkson for 'Ozempic-shaming' after assuring her fans that she was not taking the injection, intended for adults with type 2 diabetes.
While she did recently confess to taking a different prescription medication to help her slim down, the plastic surgeon, 65, said the 42-year-old pop star's comments were only 'honesty-adjacent.'
'If you don't want to admit to Ozempic and you want to say it's another medication, there's only one other medication, and that's Mounjaro,' the Botched star told TMZ. 'Let's just say it. Let's celebrate it.'
Still, he praised her for finally 'admitting' to taking a medication to aid her incredible 60-pound weight loss.

Dubrow made it clear that he thinks the singer is 'fantastic' and was not trying to 'criticize' her, but wants to break the stigma around using weight loss drugs through more transparent conversations.
'I think it's fantastic. … She looks amazing,' he added.
Dubrow, who appears on The Real Housewives of Orange County alongside his wife, Heather, revealed, earlier this year, he tried and later quit Ozempic.
'I've tried it. I thought it was amazing,' he told Page Six in January. 'I didn't have that much weight to lose. But I wanted to try it because so many of my patients were on it and I wanted to see what it was like when you're not diabetic and you only have 10-15 pounds to lose.'
While taking the drug, he said he experienced low-grade nausea, but overall views Ozempic as 'a miracle' and 'biggest breakthrough in medical history.'
As for why he stopped taking it, Dubrow said he missed the 'joy of eating' and wanted his 'appetite back.'
Earlier this week, a source told DailyMail.com exclusively that Clarkson finally came clean about using a weight loss drug because she feared being ‘exposed.’
'Kelly couldn’t keep up her charade any longer and she knew she had to get honest or she was going to be exposed,' the insider revealed. 'In a sense she was backed into a corner it was either she tell her fans or she be included in the list of other celebs who were lying about their weight loss journey.'

The TV host, who said she weighed 203 pounds at her heaviest, had previously credited her transformation to a healthy diet and 'walking' more – something that was pulled into question by those who work closely with her.
‘First it was diet and exercise and she would preach about how healthy living was the way to go,’ the source continued.
‘Then she tried playing the card that she was diagnosed as pre-diabetic several months ago – setting herself up for a reason to need medication that only diabetics would need.
‘This was when she knew that no one was buying her "walking" spiel. Also, a celebrity of her stature can’t easily just walk around NYC without being stopped, followed or papped, so everyone knew this was rubbish too.’
A second source claimed she wasn't aware of the extent of the speculation about her weight as she had been too preoccupied by her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, 47, to notice. The pair were married for nearly seven years before splitting in June 2020.
'Kelly was a little oblivious to the fact that it was such a big deal that she wasn’t telling anyone she was on weight loss medication,' they said.
'Her divorce, took so much of her focus and attention... She sees now people took her obliviousness to mean something else.
'Kelly is one of the most real people in Hollywood and to dupe people was never her intention. She is happy that the cat is out of the bag - one less thing to worry about and a learning experience.'

The continued: 'Now more than ever, she should be more transparent with her friends, her crew, her fans and her audience. It goes a long way, she usually is like that, but with the divorce as it was, she chose to keep this a secret longer than it should have ever been.'
Clarkson, who admitted in 2007 to being bulimic during her high school years, reportedly lost 60 pounds, according to Extra TV, although she has not revealed the exact amount herself.
She confessed to using an undisclosed weight loss drug on Monday while interviewing Whoopi Goldberg, 68, who has previously admitted to using Mounjaro – an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight loss.
Speaking to the Sister Act star, she said: ‘My doctor chased me for like two years and I was like, "No, I'm afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems, I was afraid."'
Kelly said the medication she takes is 'something that aids in helping break down the sugar,' as her 'body doesn't do it right.'
Addressing speculation that she was using Ozempic, she added: ‘Everybody thinks it's Ozempic, it's not – it's something else.'
The Grammy winner, who shares daughter River, nine, and son Remington, seven, with her ex-husband, said she wanted to shake-up her lifestyle after her weight gain was brought into sharp focus.
'Seeing yourself, I didn't see it... all of a sudden, I was like "Who the f*** is that?",' she said.

The admission left fans 'disappointed but not surprised' with some branding her a ‘liar because she had previously credited her transformation to a healthy diet and 'walking' more.
PR expert Eric Yaverbaum, CEO of Ericho Communications, said although it is 'understandable why she might have misconstrued or avoided the topic of weight loss drugs initially,' she should provide an apology to create a safe space for the discussion around such medication.
'Unfortunately in hindsight for Clarkson, being upfront about using a weight loss drug instead of saying it was exercise could have saved her from the harsher headlines she's now facing,' he said.
'It also may have been, and still could be, an opportunity for Clarkson to address the complexities of using weight loss drugs head on, and make people struggling with the same issue feel less alone.
'If Clarkson creates a space where the topic can be discussed openly, provides an apology, and admits to how this misled audiences, she should be able to come back from the backlash in time.'

Clarkson's admission comes four months after she opened up about her new healthy lifestyle amid persistent speculation she was using a weight loss drug.
‘I eat a healthy mix,’ she told People in January. ‘I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor – a couple years I didn’t. And 90 per cent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I’m a Texas girl, so I like meat – sorry, vegetarians in the world!’
Clarkson also claimed moving her talk show from Los Angeles to New York City last year had impacted her fitness.
‘Walking in the city is quite the workout,’ she said. ‘I’m really into infrared saunas right now. And I just got a cold plunge because everybody wore me down.’
The singer, who found fame on American Idol in 2002, has openly struggled with her weight in the past, revealing she 'wanted to kill' herself when she was 'really skinny' in the years after the singing competition.
'I was miserable, like, inside and out, for four years of my life,' she told Attitude. 'But no one cared, because aesthetically you make sense.'
