Erika Jayne once again denied taking the weight loss drug Ozempic on Wednesday’s edition of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” titled “The Eaglewoman Has Landed.”
The episode began with 47-year-old Dorit Kemsley hosting a spiritual retreat in Malibu.
Jayne, 52, and everyone told her she looked so skinny, and Erika. Erika said it was “hormones.”
“Oh, are hormones spelled OCEMPIC?” Dorit said in a confessional.
A producer asked Erika if she was with Ozempic or Wegovy and she said no.
“No, I’m not, but I take really good hormones,” Erika said.
The Latest: Erika Jayne, 52, once again denied taking the weight loss drug Ozempic on Wednesday’s edition of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” titled “The Eaglewoman Has Landed.”
Dorit told Erika that she was very hurt by her comments at BravoCon and said that Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsey, 56, could be the next couple to break up. Erika said she was just an “actor.”
“I ran to the end of the stage and gave people what they wanted,” Erika said.
“I kind of thought you were going to start with an apology instead of defending her,” Dorit said.
“Dorit, is your marriage strong?” Erika asked.
“The only thing I ever heard about PK and Dorit was the night PK got pulled over for drunk driving,” Sutton Stracke, 52, said in a confessional. “He may or may not have had a woman in the car with him.”
“My marriage is very strong,” Dorit said.
Erika cried and apologized to the group for being mean to them, but that she was being “hit from all sides.” Kyle hugged her. Kyle said she’s still upset that no one comforted her at the reunion when the Kathy Hilton thing came to light.
“I’m not a punching bag,” Kyle said. “I had no desire to defend someone who had repeatedly hurt me.”
In August, Jayne reiterated that she had never used Ozempic to lose weight.
“My answer was true then and it’s true now,” she told Extra on Monday, meaning she hasn’t touched the weight-loss drug.
And the 52-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star explained that she has always been slim.
“I’ve always been tiny,” said the star, who is promoting her Las Vegas show.
“Throughout my depression and through everything else, I grew bigger,” she added.
Her depression was due to her separation from husband Tom Girardi and their massive financial scandal. Girardi, 84, faces 20 years in prison after being charged with fraud.

Now that she’s done with Tom and is working harder than ever, the weight has come off, she explained.
“There’s nothing like doing a show and a little stress… to get back in shape,” she said of her Sin City show.
This month she launched her Las Vegas residency show Bet It All on Blonde, running through December 16 at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay
She also spoke about her struggle.
“The last three years… have been really hard, and I did it, and here it is.” “I made lemonade out of lemons, man.”
Erika shared, “You have to look at fights as one of two things: You’re either going to face them or you’re going to run from them. “And I chose to face it head-on and walk through the fire and it led me here.”
She added that her show is about “fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamor and fun.” Nothing more.’
“Last night was about a rebuild, a rebirth and a return to the stage, really on my own terms,” she said. “This is my show.” It’s on my shoulders. It feels good. It’s hard but it feels good.’
And she talked about the next season of RHOBH.
“Kyle, of course, has this chef who cooks with THC… so I was feeling really great and then fights broke out and I was just so clueless…
“For example: “What are you talking about?” You’re ruining my enthusiasm.” I went home and slept like a baby…
“What are you talking about, have you been mad at me for four years?” “Do you have any idea what I’ve been through? … who cares?”

In early August, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Erika said that menopause had caused her to lose weight.
The reality star looked slimmed down for her appearance on the Bravo talk show, wearing a black tank top, matching pants and tall boots.
“Looks like a whisper of herself,” said host Andy, 55, while introducing the “The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills” cast member.
Andy later told Erika that she looked great and asked about her weight loss.
“Yes, I lost weight,” said Erika.
‘Here’s something. Let me start by saying, “You know, I want to make sure I’m not provoking anyone because we’re having this conversation in Beverly Hills and we have a cast member with an eating disorder,” Erika said, referring to Crystal Kung Minkoff. 40, who has opened up about her struggles with bulimia nervosa and body dysmorphia.
Weight loss: Jayne admitted on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that she had obviously lost weight and attributed it to her “menopause.”

“But yes, I lost weight, and hormonally,” said Erika.
“Not Ozempic ally?” Andy asked, referring to the weight loss drug Ozempic.
“I was going through menopause,” Erika said. “So I wrote everything down.”
“Who loses weight during menopause?” joked his guest comedian Jackie Hoffman, 62.
“I went to the doctor and said I should take it off,” Erika said.
In its explanation of menopause, the US National Institute on Aging states that each woman is affected individually.
“The body begins to use energy differently, fat cells change, and women find it easier to gain weight,” the NIA said on its website.

Erika was on the Bravo talk show promoting her upcoming Las Vegas residency, “Bet It All On Blonde,” which begins August 25 at House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
The 90-minute weekend shows will include old tracks, new music and “clever” covers, Erika said.
Erika said she would be adding additional shows for the BravoCon weekend in Las Vegas in early November.
The reality star admitted she was nervous about the residency, which starts in three weeks.
‘Yes, I am [nervous] and I should be too. “It’s a lot of work, it’s a great opportunity and a good show,” said Erika.

Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood, with stars either admitting to using the diabetes drug for weight loss or strongly denying it.
Semaglutide is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus as an antidiabetic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and under the brand name Wegovy as an anti-obesity drug for long-term weight control.
The drugs act like a hormone in the brain, causing people to feel less hungry and slowing the elimination of food from the stomach, promoting weight loss.
Erika’s RHOBH castmate Kyle Richards, 54, criticized online speculation back in February that she was secretly using Ozempic to lose weight.
Speaking to about the ongoing rumors about her weight loss, Kyle admitted she found it frustrating that her hard work was dismissed as the result of a “cheat drug”.
“When people try to attribute my appearance to surgery or Ozempic, which would be completely irresponsible if diabetics can’t get their hands on it, it’s really frustrating for me,” Kyle explained.

‘It bothers me. “I’d rather inspire people with what I do so they can try the same things I did and see what happens to them.”
Kyle also denied using Ozempic during an appearance on Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge’s show Two Ts In A Pod in January.
“A lot of people think I took Ozempic. “To be clear, I have never taken Ozempic,” Kyle said, referring to the diabetes medication.
Kyle also noted at the time that she wasn’t taking Mounjaro, a similar diabetes weight-loss medication, or “any of the vaccines” like Wegovy or Saxenda.
