'RHONJ' stars Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin called out for using 'Ozempic' as they seem slimmer in recent post
ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY: Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin are facing criticism for using the weight loss drug Ozempic to shed pounds. On January 29, 2024, 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa took to her Instagram page and shared a series of pictures of herself with the other girls from their trip to Miami, Florida. "the girls had me at Miami," she wrote in the caption of the Instagram post.
In the pictures shared by the reality TV star, the fans can spot other ladies, including her fellow housewife Jennifer Aydin, her sister Tina Altinel Profita, Jessica Bara, and Lina Kidlis. However, what caught the attention of the eagle-eyed fans was the toned figures of Teresa and Jennifer, and they seemed convinced that the Bravo stars used Ozempic to lose the extra pounds.
One social media user wrote, "The Ozempic Twins.. #jenandteresa"
Another user chimed in, "OZEMPIC."
A user went on to say, "Teresa was always slim. Jen, however, is definitely on Ozempic. Lol."
Followed by a user who penned, "Tre was never this thin."
A user added, "Jennifer looks not healthy thin im happy for her but thats a little much."
A comment read, " bobble heads."
This is not the first time a Bravo star has been accused of taking the weight loss drug. In the past, Teresa and Jennifer's fellow co-star Dolores Catania has openly talked about using Ozempic to lose weight.
How much weight did Dolores Catania lose after using Ozempic?
Dolores Catania is well-versed with the use of the weight loss drug Ozempic. The 52-year-old spilled the beans on her weight loss journey, incorporating Ozempic and Mounjaro, during a chat with The US Sun. Dolores revealed, "I'm down 20 pounds." Then, she revealed that her ultimate goal "is to be in the low 130s."
Continuing, she explained, "I'm being realistic. Right now, I'm 137. I was 157 when I started. I jumped to 163 - I was going there. Like, I was gaining weight every month. So then when I finally kicked in... the problem is, like, if you don't start it, it takes time to work. It doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't come off easy."
Catania was initially prescribed Ozempic, and she used it for two years before transitioning to Mounjaro in 2023. The mom of two further added, "I took Ozempic, stopped, and then began Mounjaro. I was medically prescribed for both because I am insulin resistant/pre-diabetic and have a thyroid issue.” "I stopped taking [Ozempic] because it was expensive and everything. But being healthy and living a healthy lifestyle is cheap — it's free! I work out regularly. There is no easy fix for weight loss and I have to watch what I eat," she continued.
Are Teresa Giudice and Jennifer Aydin still friends?
Teresa Giudice thinks that Jennifer Aydin is her true friend.
While having a chat with OK! magazine in November 2023, Giudice expressed admiration and affection for her close friend Jennifer, emphasizing the authenticity of their friendship rather than it being solely based on their involvement in the show.
Then, Teresa said, "Jennifer's my BFF. She's awesome. I love her. We're real friends. We're not just friends out of the convenience of being on the show."
The 'Skinny Italian' author added, "She's really my BFF. I have her back. She has my back."
Did ‘RHONJ’ star Jennifer Aydin have weight loss surgery?
The answer to the above question is a big yes. Previously, Jennifer underwent several cosmetic procedures, including breast reduction, breast lift, and liposuction, all performed by her husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Bill Aydin. For the unversed, liposuction is a type of fat-removal procedure used in plastic surgery. These surgeries led to a significant weight loss of 15 pounds for the reality star.
She mentioned that liposuction “is really not a weight-loss solution” but that it “helps in your problem areas.” By adhering to the diet suggested by Absolute Nutrition Counseling and having meals delivered, Jennifer managed to shed an additional 10 pounds. Now Aydin has also incorporated exercise into her daily routine.
‘RHONJ’ star Jennifer Aydin slammed for body shaming a fan at BravoCon
In November 2023, Jennifer Aydin received backlash for body-shaming a fan at BravoCon in Las Vegas. During the event, a fan from the audience approached the stage and inquired if Aydin believed she could become even closer to Teresa Giudice. “Do you think you could crawl any further up Teresa Giudice’s a**?” the fan asked.
In response, Aydin defended herself, saying, "First of all, let me enlighten you." While referring to Teresa, she added, "Good friends support each other all the time, and she supports me too." At that point, Aydin called out the fan and said, "Hey! Hey, big boy with the big mouth. Teresa's got something to say to you." The fan responded, "Teresa, I wasn't talking to you. Sit down."
