LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Kyle Richards has once again cleared all rumors about using the weight loss drug Ozempic to transform her body.

In an interview with PageSix, Kyle also touched upon quitting alcohol and talked about its benefits.

“I’ve suffered from anxiety for my entire life. So to all of a sudden have my anxiety be so minimized at a time that it should be at its worst. I was really surprised by that. I don’t even take Lexapro anymore!” she said on the sideline of the BravoCon event.

Kyle Richards gets emotiona about her split with Mauricio Umansky

Richards was also asked about her recent split with her longtime husband Mauricio Umansky in July.

The star responded that she feels quite ‘strong, despite the hard time.'

“I just want to say, a lot of people think, ‘Pull it together. Fix it’ Obviously, that’s what I would want. This is not my idea of my fairy tale, clearly …. Anyway, I do appreciate all your support," she said while being on stage.

Kyle also added that she wanted to fix her marriage and that the separation wasn't part of her fairy tale. Interestingly, the split was initiated by the reality star herself.

“I stopped drinking and I’m just doing everything I can to be as strong as I can. And it’s working. So I’m grateful.” she said.

Talking about her post-drinking days, Kyle said she’s gained a lot of clarity over herself. She chose to give up on drinking for ‘fitness and health reasons.’

In July, she appeared on the ‘Two T In A Pod’ podcast and talked about how she managed to make a physical transformation.

“A lot of people think I’ve been taking Ozempic. To clarify, I’ve never taken Ozempic,” she said before adding she achieved the new look thanks to quitting ‘sugar, carbs, and any alcohol.’

Kyle Richards says she doesnt miss alcohol

The 54-year-old said earlier, “Truth is I don’t miss it at all. I feel amazing, so don’t see the point [in drinking] right now.”

“Alcohol made me feel depressed the next day no matter how fun the night before was,” she gave an insight at the time.

“And honestly, life is going to throw us some difficult days. I certainly don’t need to be adding any extra ones to that list,” she added.
