At 72, Sharon Osbourne is speaking candidly about her recent dramatic weight loss and the ongoing challenges she faces with body image. The TV personality and author recently raised eyebrows with her noticeably thin appearance, which she attributes to taking Ozempic, a medication originally developed for diabetes that’s now widely used for weight loss.
Osbourne revealed she lost 42 pounds over just four months while using the drug, but even after stopping it, she’s struggled to put the weight back on. “I can’t seem to gain any weight,” she admitted.
Known for her openness about undergoing multiple cosmetic surgeries over the years, Osbourne says she’s now stepping away from all cosmetic procedures. “I’m done,” she stated, acknowledging the pressure that fame and society’s beauty standards have long placed on her.
She also issued a warning to others considering weight-loss medications like Ozempic. While effective, she pointed out, the risks and side effects—such as metabolic changes and potential links to thyroid cancer—aren’t always clearly communicated.
Despite public concern about her current appearance, Osbourne says she’s working on accepting her body as it is. Her experience shines a light on the emotional toll of aging in the public eye and the intense societal pressures women face to maintain a certain image.
Sharon’s story is a reminder of the complexities behind cosmetic enhancements and weight-loss treatments—and the importance of informed, compassionate choices when it comes to health and self-image.
