The 56-year-old singer shared her discomfort with her Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets castmates Kim Zolciak and Johnny Weir during the July 23rd episode, stating, “Oh, boy, my stomach hurts. I’ve just been really constipated…I took Ozempic, and now I can’t go to the bathroom, and I was up all night.”

Further commenting on the choice, She shared, “So, I thought, ‘OK, I’m not taking it off the right way. Let me see if I can get one of these Ozempic [prescriptions]…. I was trying to take it off [the weight] before the show because I didn’t want to be super fat on TV, but here we are.”
During the current season’s premiere of Surreal Life, she harkened back to her past use of both illicit and non-illicit substances for “healing,” which included cocaine, shots, edibles, and pizza. Her transparency regarding the use of these vices continued to shine a light on the consistent pressure celebrities face to maintain a “trend worthy” image.
