Macy Gray has opened up about the painful side effects she experienced from taking Ozempic, a popular weight loss drug originally intended for type 2 diabetes. On MTV's The Surreal Life, the 56-year-old singer revealed that the medication left her constipated and unable to sleep, admitting she took it out of vanity to avoid looking 'fat' on TV. Gray discussed her struggle with weight gain over recent years and her desire to lose weight quickly before going on tour. Despite Ozempic's rising popularity for weight loss, it is known to cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and severe constipation. Other celebrities have also voiced their concerns and experiences with the drug, highlighting its potential risks. Gray's candid disclosure serves as a cautionary tale for those considering Ozempic for rapid weight loss.
