Emily Simpson wants ‘credit’ for weight loss after Ozempic, lipo
Emily Simpson desires greater recognition for her weight loss journey, even though she utilized Ozempic and underwent liposuction.
The star of “Real Housewives of Orange County” also emphasizes her rigorous fitness routine, which involves going to the gym every day of the week.
“I made several changes and I work out at the gym seven days a week. I train as if I am preparing for a fitness competition. … That’s essentially the entire story,” she disclosed to Us Weekly on Tuesday.
What bothers Simpson the most is that when people comment on her appearance, they always attribute it to Ozempic, an FDA-approved medication for treating type 2 diabetes.
Simpson, aged 47, initially confessed in June that she used Ozempic to jumpstart her diet in December of the previous year, following a nervous breakdown about her weight gain.
However, she discontinued its use after only one month due to experiencing side effects.
“I didn’t like how it made me feel lethargic and low on energy, which was difficult with three young children,” she explained on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live.” “However, it did make me feel full and it served as a sort of refreshment for me.”

She also disclosed that she underwent liposuction on her arms to reveal the muscle underneath and opted for breast reduction. Nonetheless, she is now upset that fans solely focus on her artificial methods.
“I don’t appreciate that it undermines all the effort I put in,” she expressed to the publication this week.
“I don’t mind if you say that, but please acknowledge the fact that I work out seven days a week, wake up at 6 a.m. every morning, and put in a tremendous amount of effort at the gym every single day.”
The reality TV personality initially sparked rumors of using the weight-loss drug when she revealed her dramatic transformation on social media, but instead of admitting it, she responded sharply to fan speculation.
“You don’t know me, and my physique won’t ‘revert back’ because my arms are muscular from heavy lifting seven days a week,” she retorted.
Emily Simpson wants more “credit” for her weight loss journey despite using Ozempic and going for liposuction.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star also highlights her vigorous fitness routine, which sees her at the gym all week long.
“I cut out a lot of things and I go to the gym seven days a week and work out. I work out like I’m training for a fitness competition. … That’s kind of the whole story,” she told Us Weekly Tuesday.
“The thing that bothers me the most is that when people comment on the way that I look, they constantly say, ‘Ozempic, Ozempic,’” referring to the FDA-approved drug designed to treat type diabetes.
Simpson, 47, first admitted in June that she used Ozempic to “jumpstart” her diet last December after having a “nervous breakdown” about her weight gain.
But she used it for only a month before deciding to stop after experiencing side effects.
“I didn’t like the way it made me feel lethargic and it made me just not have a lot of energy, which was hard with three little kids,” she explained on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” “but it does make you feel full and it does make you, for me, it was like a refresh.”

She also revealed she went for liposuction on her arms to reveal the “muscle underneath” and opted for a breast reduction, but now she’s upset that fans only focus on her artificial methods.
“I don’t like that it discounts all the hard work I put in,” she told the publication this week.
“I don’t care if you say that all you want, but at least gimme [sic] credit for seven days a week, getting up at 6 a.m. every morning and busting my butt in the gym every single day.”
The Bravolebrity first sparked rumors that she was on the weight-loss drug after she debuted a dramatic new figure on social media, but she clapped back at the fan speculation instead of owning up to it.
“You don’t know me and nothing will ‘revert back’ bc my arms are jacked from heavy lifting 7 days a week,’” she snapped.
