'Dancing with the Stars' contestant Brooks Nader opened up about her use of Ozempic, a medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes but which has gained widespread attention due to its effects on weight loss. She started taking the drug when it gained popularity, although she wasn’t thrilled when her sisters announced it to the world in a playful TikTok video. "My sisters ratted me out, which they're in huge trouble for," she said in an interview with 'DailyMail.com'. Despite some backlash from online critics who claimed she didn't need to take the medication, Nader admitted, "I liked it, I can't lie."

However, Nader stopped taking Ozempic while competing on 'DWTS' due to the physical toll it was taking. She explained that the combination of the show’s demanding schedule and the fatigue caused by the medication made it impossible for her to continue. "It was so taxing on your physical body, and it makes you so tired," she said. While she's focused on maintaining her health through exercise and a balanced lifestyle for now, Nader hinted she might consider using the drug again in the future, adding, "Never say never." While some are praising her honesty, others are questioning her decision to take a weight-loss medication despite her already slim figure.
