Kyle Richards has slammed online speculation that she’s secretly been using the diet drug Ozempic to lost weight.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star continued to showcase her incredible physique as she attended the The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection event in New York on Wednesday.

Speaking to DailyMail.com about the ongoing rumors about her weight-loss, the 54-year-old admitted that she found it frustrating to see her hard work dismissed as the result a ‘cheat drug’.

‘When people try to blame my appearance on surgery or Ozempic, which would be completely irresponsible to use when diabetics can’t get their hands on it, it’s really frustrating to me,’ Kyle explained.

‘It bothers me. I’d rather just inspire people with what I’m doing so they can try the same things I’ve been doing and see what happens to them.’

Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and as anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management, developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012, according to Wikipedia. 

Detailing the changes she’s made in her lifestyle in order to achieve her toned figure, the Halloween actress continued: ‘I noticed a big change when I cut out alcohol, sugar and carbs from my diet. I was only going to do it for a few weeks, until I got where I wanted to be weight-wise. 

‘I didn’t put a timeline on it. I felt amazing and I thought, “I don’t feel like going back.” I started taking it to the next level by working out two hours a day. I really make a point to eat well and take care of my body, and I feel like it shows.’

Reflecting further on fan reaction to the changes in her physique, Kyle added: ‘There have been trolls, but I went into my DMs and I have been inundated with people explaining how I’ve been an inspiration for them. People are really following my lead by giving up sugar and carbs, or doing my workouts.’

The reality star revealed how she has been motivated to speak out more about the importance of looking after your body as she shared her respect for the Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection event.   

This year’s concert was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center and dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular disease. 

“We need to make people realize that heart disease is the number one killer in women. Men get much more attention about heart attacks and we need to bring awareness to the importance on eating right and exercising,’ she explained.

‘I know I talk a lot about it to my friends because they are not thinking about it. It’s very scary what just happened with Lisa Marie Presley, she was a young woman. More women are having heart attacks now than ever.’

The star has been showing off her leaner frame in new Instagram snaps, with many fans commenting that she must have used Ozempic, a diabetes drug that does lead to weight loss, to achieve those results.

However she has vehemently denied the claims. While appearing on the Two T’s In a Pod podcast with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge, last week she revealed her weight loss secrets.

‘After gaining weight during the summer — on July 15 — after getting off the boat I said “That is it, I’m not having any sugar, any carbs, any alcohol,”‘ Richards explained.

‘A lot of people think I’ve been taking Ozempic. To clarify I’ve never taken Ozempic,’ she stated.

She added that she also isn’t taking Mounjaro, another diabetes medication, or, ‘any of the shots’ such as Wegovy or Saxenda.

On Sunday, the Bravo star showed off the results of all her hard work by posting a photo of herself flaunting her ripped abs.

In the photo, Richards is standing in front of a mirror at a gym dressed in skin-tight black leggings and a charcoal and black top, which she pulled up above her to just below her chest.

She also wore white, yellow and black jogging sneakers, as she stood with her right foot forward on a piece of equipment that helps with balance.

Rounding out her sporty look, the reality star had her dark brown tresses pulled into a loose ponytail, while the hair fell around the frame of her face.

The Los Angeles native, who’s the last remaining original cast member of RHOBH, has maintained that went on to explain that she has only underwent a breast reduction surgery.
