Kyle Richards has hit back at claims that she has been using Ozempic for weight loss after her recent bikini selfie.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made headlines when she shared a picture of herself posing in a mirror, donning a black two piece swimsuit and baseball cap.

The 54-year-old offered no caption with the snap, with many heaping praise on the upload across social media.

However, she was later forced to address speculation that she had been secretly been taking Ozempic – a diabetic medication that can dull your appetite.

Underneath a red carpet photo on Page Six’s Instagram account, one user simply questioned: ‘Ozempic?’

Having none of it, she hit back: ‘I am NOT taking Ozempic. Never have.’

When another suggested that her figure was from ‘many visits to the plastic surgeon’, Kyle added: ‘I have never tried Ozempic and this is not from plastic surgery. I did have a breast reduction in May.

‘I’m honest about what I do. But if giving plastic surgery the credit makes you feel better then pop off sister.’

Kyle isn’t the first famous face to be linked to the drug, which involves a weekly injection in the stomach, arm or thigh.

Earlier this month, Khloe Kardashian clapped back after online commenters suggested that she had been using it recently.

‘Let’s not discredit my years of working out,’ the Kardashians star fumed. ‘I get up 5 days a week at 6am to train.

‘Please stop with your assumptions. I guess new year still means mean people.’

While Jeremy Clarkson revealed that he had turned to Ozempic to prevent developing type 2 diabetes.

Clarkson, 62, shared that he was introduced to the medicine after learning that his friends were taking it to ward off the common condition, which causes the level of glucose in the blood to become too high.

‘You inject yourself once a week, upping the dose each time, and it dulls your appetite,’ he said in a recent column for the Sunday Times.

‘You can look at a Sunday roast, with gravy and beef and perfect Yorkshire puddings, and you think: “I’ll just have a stick of celery instead. And maybe just the one bottle of wine, rather than three.”

‘I can open the fridge, where there’s half a chicken and a juicy bottle of rosé, and I want neither.

‘Of course, I’ll have to insert some balance in the future, or I’ll, you know, die. But for now, it’s tremendous.’
