Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey guys, this is Jackie Goldschneider with two Jersey Jays,
but today I am solo because I want to talk
to you about something. So this week, Kelly Osborne gave
an interview to E News where she basically said that
people who are against die drugs like ozembic are either
jealous or poor. So her exact words were, people hate
(00:26):
on it because they want to do it, and the
people who hate on it the most are the people
who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they
can't afford it. She then called the drugs amazing and
a much more interesting way to lose weight than exercise.
So let's bypass her as a public figure encouraging people
to go on die drugs and discouraging exercise as a
(00:48):
boring way to get in shape. Let's put that aside,
because that in and of itself is so irresponsible. And
let me also say that although I co host this
podcast with the incredible Jennifer Esler, these opinions today are
mine alone, not Gens, who, as you know, has been
and is on semaglutides. And finally, my thoughts on Kelly's
(01:11):
statements are not aimed at people who use these drugs
for obesity, type two diabetes, or binge eating disorder. So
here we go, Kelly Osborne. You are a grown woman,
and obviously you can and have done whatever you want
to your body, and you can rationalize your decisions however
you'd like. But when you publicly declare that people with
(01:35):
concerns and apprehensions about putting a mysterious drug into their
body are either jealous or poor, you delegitimize some very
serious and very real concerns that people like me are
entitled to have and entitled two voice. I could be
on this crap tomorrow if I want to, because every
medspot in New Jersey that I pass is handing it
(01:55):
out like candy. And I also have enough money to
be on it for twenty lifetimes. So I am neither
jealous of people using ozembic. So I'm neither jealous of
people using ozembic. I'm not secretly using ozembic, and I
am certainly not too poor to afford it. So I'd
like to respond and reiterate why some of us might
take real issue with drugs like ozembic. So first, I
(02:20):
see the way that this is going, and every day
it's becoming less and less acceptable to be overweight. And
that's a very dangerous world to live in, and it's
a world I don't want to live in. A few
years ago, we were embracing curves and fuller bodies, and now,
with so many people going on these drugs, especially public
(02:40):
facing people who are people we watch and emulate, we
are seeing rail thin bodies instead of healthy, normal bodies
become the norm. We're seeing Heroine Sheep normalized again. We
are seeing skinny as the new average woman's body. And
many of us have daughters like me. I have a
(03:02):
thirteen year old daughter, and sometimes she grabs her thighs
and asks me why they're so big, even though they
are not. And sometimes she hates her stomach, even though
it's perfect. And some of that is my fault, because
I very publicly recovered from an eating disorder, and I
let my daughter watch me mistreat my body for most
(03:22):
of her life. But all the things that I've tried
to do to undo those lessons that I've taught her
are being overshadowed by all the newly emaciated bodies that
she sees everywhere. And now she's growing up in a
world where It's almost unacceptable to not be thin because
(03:42):
everybody can be thin now, everybody can get on diet
drugs now, and not being thin means you must be poor,
right Kelly? And no one wants to look like the
poor fat girl, do they? I know so many women
on these drugs. It is everywhere, and every every day
there are more and more people taking it. And as
(04:04):
everyone around me suddenly has their ribs and shoulder blades
sticking out, I get scared for the world and the
values that we are creating. So where are we going
as a society? Where are we trending when it comes
to women's bodies. That has nothing to do with being poor,
It has nothing to do with being jealous. That is
a very real concern. And by the way, what if,
(04:28):
like Kelly said, you are too poor to afford it?
Then what then? How do you get thin like everybody else?
Maybe by starving yourself or throwing up or taking a
different kind of dry drug. When skinny becomes the default
and the new normal, that's the kind of standards we
(04:49):
are imposing on the average woman now, and it is
very dangerous. Maybe some of us are concerned because these
drugs lack long term studies on people who are not
suffering from type two diabetes, and we worry. We worry
for our friends and our sisters, and our moms and
our daughters who are injecting themselves with the drug that
(05:10):
affects so many of their organs. Ozembic mimics the hormone
called glp one, which helps the pancreas release insulin. I
am not a doctor or a medical professional, but this
is what I gather from research. So semaglutides stimulate your
pancreas to release insulin. It also stops your liver from
producing glucagon. Semaglutides sends signals to the appetite center in
(05:34):
your brain to reduce hunger and increase fullness. It also
slows down your digestion and your gastric emptying, helping you
feel full longer. So basically, it affects your pancreas, your liver,
your brain, your endocrinal system, your intestines, and your stomach.
Common side effects of ozempic are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
(05:58):
which all lead to appetites of Russian and hence, with
all of that, you lose weight. Other side effects can
include inflammation of your pancreas, which is called pancreatitis, changes
in your vision, hypoglycemia which is low blood sugar, kidney
problems like kidney failure, serious allergic reactions, ballbladder problems, thyroid
(06:19):
c cell tumors, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. So maybe some
of us are worried about that that a largely unstudied drug.
When it comes to non diabetic bodies that people we
love are taking, maybe we worried about their muscle. Maybe
(06:40):
we worry about their muscle loss that we've seen people
we love experience, which is very dangerous, especially for an
older woman's health. Maybe we worry about malnutrition and hair
loss and all the other things that can happen to
your body when you do not eat enough. Maybe we're
worried about what they might find in a few years
(07:02):
in people we love who are using these drugs, because
a lot of people we love are using them, and
that has nothing to do with being poor or being jealous.
Maybe we're worried about what happens when you have to
come off of these drugs, because unless you plan on
staying on them until the day you die, once you
(07:24):
come off almost all the studies show that you gain
back most, if not all, of the weight that you lost.
Maybe we're worried about all the people who will then
be left spiraling because their skinny body is slowly disappearing
and they're desperate to get it back. And here's where
I have skin in the game. Maybe we're worried about
(07:46):
all the new eating disorders in cases of anorexia, and
all the anxiety and mental health issues that might cause.
And trust me when I say that anorexia is a
living hell. I know because I lived there for eighteen years.
I starved myself for eighteen years, close to death because
I was so desperate to be thin. I hated the
(08:08):
body that I lived in. What if someone like me
is legitimately worried that all people that never had eating
disorders before yet so used to being thin that they
don't want to go back ever, no matter what, even
if they have a side effect that forces them to
choose between their health and their diet drugs. Maybe we're
(08:29):
worried because the drugs are close to being approved for
use in children. When I was sixteen, I was so
desperate to change my body. I would have been first
in line for these drugs. I shudder when I think
of my undeveloped adolescent body being injected with diet drugs
so I could shut off my hunger. Instead of learning
(08:50):
healthy ways to manage my weight, I would have given
myself a life sentence. Gladly, I would have begged for
it so that I could be thin. And we know
how this goes. It gets approved for kids with certain BMIs,
and then you have doctors and medspas that'll figure out
ways to tweak that and get it into your child's
hands with not quite the BMI you're supposed to have,
(09:12):
just like they did for adults. And as kids start
using ozembic, and add to all of the ozembic success
stories that we see on TikTok, then you've got an
adolescent trend like Stanley cups and sol Ly Janeiro products,
except this one is potentially very dangerous. Maybe some of
(09:33):
us are worried about all the teenage girls we know
suddenly feeling like they have to be on ozembic, also
including my little girl. Maybe we're worried about people like you, Kelly,
who belittle people who aren't on diet drugs, who make
it seem like there's something wrong with us for being wary,
or for not wanting to be rale thin, or for
(09:56):
people who want to feel okay about living in a
larger body. Maybe it's people like you who make it
so that when people see someone who's overweight, we assume
that that person must be poor or have some medical
condition that means they can't use osmpic. Maybe we worry
that people like you will look at anyone who's not
thin and say, what's wrong with them? Why are they
(10:19):
still fat? Or maybe we just can't stand going to
dinner and being the only one at the table with
an appetite. Maybe selfishly, we hate the way that makes
us feel when we watch our tablemates order an appetizer
as their meal and pick at it. Maybe we hate
the negative self talk we go through when we're the
only ones at the table eating, when we ask ourselves
(10:43):
should I keep eating even though we're hungry? But we
feel bad about finishing our meals because no one around
us is finishing their meal. Maybe some of us hate that,
or maybe that's just me. And this is all not
to mention the many diabetic piece people who cannot access
their medication because of this. A zembic trend. And if
(11:05):
that is not a legitimate concern, and I don't know
what is, either way, be careful with your words, Kelly Osborne.
I'm very happy for you. If you're happy, if you
love being skin and bones, and you have no concerns
over your health, and no concerns about your mom's health
as she dips under one hundred pounds after losing forty
(11:27):
two pounds in four months and saying that she can't
gain anything back for some mysterious reason. If you have
no concerns about that, then I'm happy for you. I'm
happy that you're happy, and I hope you don't go
on to suffer any of the potential side effects people
are not talking about. I just asked that, as a
public figure and an influencer, you be careful with your words,
(11:51):
because there are women listening and teenagers and preteens listening
and watching you. And shaming people who choose, for whatever
reason not to use a drug that makes them thin
is a very dangerous and irresponsible thing to do. And
that's all I have to say. I gotta go now, guys,
