Furious Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has yet again responded to the Ozemic rumors and insists she did NOT use the diabetes drug to lose weight
Jackie “O” Henderson has denied speculation about her incredible weight loss.
The media queen, 48, was interviewed on Saturday on the ‘Something to Talk About’ podcast and denied using the weight-loss drug Ozempic.
Ozempic, an appetite suppressant formerly used to treat type II diabetes, is seeing a rise in prescriptions for obesity and is rumored to be used by many celebrities to help maintain a slim figure.
Speculation that the “Kyle and Jackie O Show” co-host had taken the drug first began to simmer when she appeared on the cover of Stellar magazine in May after losing a tremendous amount of weight.
“When the Ozempic rumors first came up, I was like, ‘Oh, are you kidding?’; she told the publication.

Before and after: The star has experienced dramatic weight loss in recent years
“I know how hard I’ve worked and I didn’t take that,” she said, admitting that she didn’t take the diet drug.
“I was frustrated when these came out and the more I defended myself, the more I felt, ‘OK, this is a losing battle.’
She admitted she would never change anyone’s mind about how she achieved her body transformation.
“The people who believe that I have taken or have taken Ozempic will never change their minds. Because I think they want to believe it,” she said.
“I know I didn’t take any shortcuts. It’s just not what I did. I can’t deny it any more than I have. I’m going to take a lie detector test. Do you have one?’
She has also previously denied having had gastric band surgery.

In the same podcast appearance, Jackie O was also asked how much money she makes as a radio host and media pundit.
“Sometimes I’m embarrassed to talk about money. I hate showing off wealth. “I’ve always been like this,” she said.
“I want a nice bag, a nice car, and a nice house, but I don’t want to flaunt it.” But [at the same time] I shouldn’t be embarrassed, so I’m trying to take more responsibility for it.”
She continued, “As a man, they would definitely be entitled to that, and as a woman, making a lot of money being single is pretty scary because a lot of guys get intimidated by it.”
The star has lost weight over the years and landed a lucrative endorsement deal with Weight Watchers earlier this year
Jackie’s estimated annual radio earnings of $5 million do not include performance bonuses.
She’s also a featured TV personality, most recently appearing as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia, for which she was reportedly awarded $1 million.
In addition, she boasts a number of lucrative sponsorship deals, including her $500,000 contract with WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers.
