Chelsea Handler’s Account of Ozempic Use: Comedian Discloses Unintentional Weight Loss Drug Experience
For comedian Chelsea Handler, her foray into using Ozempic, a medication often associated with weight loss, was anything but a joke. In a recent interview, Handler revealed that her “anti-aging doctor” had prescribed the drug without fully informing her of its true nature as a weight loss aid.
Unintentional Introduction to Ozempic
During a January 25, 2023, episode of the podcast Call Her Daddy, Handler recounted the situation. “I wasn’t even aware I was taking it,” she stated. According to Handler, the medical professional suggested, “If you are interested in losing a few pounds, this could be beneficial.” This casual recommendation led to Handler’s initial, uninformed use of Ozempic.
Discomfort and Side Effects
Despite trying the medication, the comedian noted that she experienced undesirable effects. “I didn’t like how it made me feel,” Handler explained, hinting at potential side effects often associated with Ozempic.
Experiencing Nausea
Handler described a specific incident that heightened her awareness of Ozempic‘s effects. “I returned from a trip and administered an injection,” she recalled. “A few days later, while having lunch with a friend, she commented, ‘I’m not eating much. I feel quite nauseous, I’m using Ozempic.’ And I responded, ‘I feel somewhat nauseous as well.'” Initially, Handler attributed her nausea to jet lag, masking the drug’s impact.
Cessation of Ozempic and Sharing with Friends
Ultimately, Handler decided to stop using Ozempic because it was not medically necessary for her health. She further added that she gave the remaining doses to friends. “I’ve injected about four or five of my friends with Ozempic, because I realized I didn’t want to use it because it was unnecessary,” she explained.

Perception of Ozempic’s Intended Use
