Kate Moss' Half sister, Lottie Mossspeaks out against the use of Ozempic for weight loss after shocking experiences with the drug.

Lottie is not the first star to speak out against the drug's harmful side effects. Jillian Michaels told People in February 2023 that she had taken “at least eight parents of family friends” from Ozempic.
