While it's a relief to not have to mention the "Something in the Orange" singer in the rest of this story, the podcast host is certainly raising some eyebrows with her latest take.
Are You Using Ozempic? Brianna Chickenfry Has Something To Share With You
The 26-year-old, Brittnay LaPaglia, took to TikTok with a message for Ozempic users. If you're unfamiliar, Ozempic treats Type 2 diabetes, though many use it off-label for weight loss.
"No tea, no shade, no hate, just some field research," Chickenfry began. "Every single b**** I know is on Ozempic. People that do not need Ozempic. It's like if I did Ozempic. Could I lose a couple? Surely. Do I need Ozempic? No!"
For those who have no need to use Ozempic, the influencer issued a dire warning, though she did not cite any evidence or support for her claim: "You're gonna die. You're all gonna die."
According to the Mayo Clinic, the side effects of taking Ozempic can include severe nausea and stomach pain and can increase the risk of pancreatitis and acute kidney failure.
Chickenfry Has Shared Her Own Struggles With Eating
Last month on the Real Pod podcast, Chickenfry talked about her relationship with food.
"I had an anxiety-induced eating disorder, where I was always nauseous," she said. "Anytime I ate something, I would throw up."
She added, "I would just avoid food at all costs because I knew that it would make me sick, or I was just so nauseous all the time [because of] my anxiety that I couldn't eat."
Several years ago, the podcaster said she was at her lowest weight to date. However, she had reached "rock bottom."
"People were horrified. Every time I went home, my family was, like, 'Oh, my gosh,'" LaPaglia said. "I was anemic from it, I had bruises all over me, and it was really, really hard when you're in it for so long. Your body just gets used to it, and when I finally came out of all that anxiety, or I was able to look at myself in the mirror and saw the way I looked, [it] was just so unhealthy."
After gaining 25 pounds, she considered herself to be at a "healthy weight."
"It didn't happen overnight," she continued. "Once I realized, I was like, 'Holy s***, this is what's happening to you.' It took me four or five months to get back to a healthy weight or get back in a healthy mindset."
