Kylie Jenner has expressed her frustration over the Ozempic rumors

Kylie Jenner really struggled to lose weight after giving birth to her second child in 2022. She even took to Instagram to discuss how tough it was to bounce back after having a baby, admitting simply, “It’s not been easy. It’s very hard,” per Entertainment Tonight. In fact, the Kylie Cosmetics founder noted that losing weight after her first pregnancy was a little easier than after her second. Jenner also opened up about her tough postpartum experience in a 2024 interview with British Vogue, where she also voiced her frustration over the Ozempic rumors. “I feel like people didn’t give me, or give women in general, enough empathy,” Jenner said at the time. “I see pictures [online] and people are accusing me of being on drugs or something.”

And yet, the speculation has ramped up in the intervening time. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon Richland confirmed to The List that the weight Jenner lost after her two pregnancies is actually more likely the reason her hands look more slender these days. “When you lose a significant amount of weight, your body doesn’t get to choose where the fat comes from,” he explained. “If she has reached a lower weight than she has maintained in recent years, it is entirely natural for her hands to look more skeletal or aged to the casual observer.” And if Jenner is using Ozempic, then that’s her choice, and the internet would do well to remember that.
