Sharon Osbourne is sharing more about her experience with Ozempic and its side effects.

On the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast, the 70-year-old spoke about using “the f***ing injection that everybody takes” to lose weight, referring to Ozempic.

“When you have a weight problem and you’ve tried everything, and then somebody says, ‘Take this injection and you’re going to be skinny,’” she said.

Maher noted that “you’re always playing the odds” when it comes to healthcare, and Osbourne agreed.

She then went on to detail her experience with the side effects of the drug.

“It’s different for everybody, but for me, the first few weeks was f***ing sh*t because you just throw up all the time. You feel so nauseous,” Osbourne said.

“After a couple of weeks, it goes,” she added, “and then you’re just fine, you feel nothing. Just not hungry.”

Osbourne said she isn’t currently using the drug and not feeling the same level of hunger.

“Your stomach shrinks, and you change,” she explained.

The former talk show host also revealed she used to slide back into bad habits, noting she’s “always had a weight problem,” but hasn’t after being on Ozempic.

“Usually I do, I’ll give it a couple of weeks and then I’m like, f**k it, I’ll have pasta,” she said.

Osbourne also joked about losing weight at a time when fuller figures are being welcomed.

“It was just my luck that when big bums come in, I don’t f***ing have one anymore,” she quipped. “My whole life I spent getting rid of my f***ing bum, and now it’s all in.”

Earlier this year, Osbourne spoke about using an injectable weight loss drug to lose 30 pounds (13kg), but did not specify which one.

On The Talk UK in May, she said, “I took it for four months and I lost 30 pounds, but like everything, there’s always no quick recipe.”

She continued, “I was very sick for a couple of months. The first couple of months, I just felt nauseous. Every day I felt nauseous, my stomach was upset, whatever.”

“But listen, I took it for four months, I lost 30 pounds. I’ve just shoved two chips in my mouth, while we had the break, and I eat normally now, and I haven’t put on a pound. Nothing,” she explained.
