Jennifer Aydin addresses speculation about weight loss
Host Andy Cohen noted that backstage, Jen had said that she wanted to clear the air about her weight loss, which is exactly what she did during her Clubhouse appearance. Jen denied that she is on Ozempic — a diabetes medication that has been used to induce weight loss.
"I am not on Ozempic," she said. "So everyone who is yelling at me, saying my head is too big for my body, it's just my hair, that I gotta stop taking Ozempic cause their family members can't get it — I am not on Ozempic."
Is Jennifer Aydin on Mounjaro?
She did share a few more details about her journey: "I'm on Mounjaro," Jen clarified. "It's Mounjaro, it's 2.5 [mg], it's...I'm sorry!"
Mounjaro is an FDA-approved injection that is used for "chronic weight management in adults" in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
"I have so much energy if you couldn't tell," she added about her journey.

Jennifer Aydin's comments on why she no longer sees husband Dr. Bill Aydin for cosmetic procedures
As previously stated, Jen has been very open about the cosmetic procedures that she has had done in the past, including a procedure to remove excess skin, a nose job, tummy tuck, and chin augmentation. It also helps that her husband, Dr. Bill Aydin, is a plastic surgeon.
But, in a 2021 interview with Bravo Insider, Jen revealed that she would no longer be going to her husband for procedures. "I have to say that being the patient who's also the wife of a doctor is not always a good dynamic," she said. "When I was a patient for my tummy tuck, I would call [Bill] for every little thing, and if he didn't respond to my text right away, because I'm his wife, I would just call, and I'd be like, 'Is this normal? This just happened. Why is this happening?'...And he's like, 'You cannot call me and ambush me when I'm with other patients.'"
"Basically, he was like, 'I'm never touching you again,'" she added. "'Go to somebody else. Let somebody else handle all your little crazy things.'"
