The Ozempic trend continues to dominate headlines, with celebrities, influencers, and public figures often speculated to be using the drug for weight loss. New rumors seem to pop up daily, with one such case involving TikTok influencer and Dancing with the Stars alum, Brooks Nader.
In a TikTok video posted over Thanksgiving, Nader appeared to unintentionally reveal her weight loss secret, after a playful but pointed challenge with her three sisters. The video, part of a viral “suspect challenge,” involved the family roasting each other while pretending to flee from the police. As they ran around the pool, the playful jabs got harsh quickly. One of Nader’s sisters accused her of losing 20 pounds by using Ozempic, despite claiming it was from working out. The accusation caught Nader off guard, and she immediately broke character, exclaiming, “Don’t, don’t,” before quickly ending the video, clearly shocked by the claim.
Nader’s history with weight loss
Nader has previously opened up about her weight loss journey in interviews. In a 2019 interview with Daily Mail, she shared how working with Sports Illustrated helped her develop a healthier relationship with food and her body. She also mentioned boxing and dance classes as part of her fitness routine. However, the Ozempic speculation suggests a different, more controversial path to her weight loss, despite her history of promoting a fitness-focused lifestyle.
The video also revealed some other family dynamics. While the main focus was Nader’s weight loss, her sisters didn’t stop at the Ozempic comment. One sister teased her about her love life, saying she claims to have a “full roster” of suitors, but the same guy shows up every night. This was a reference to Nader’s on-again, off-again relationship with her Dancing with the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko. Despite breaking up after their elimination in October, the pair remains close, with Savchenko even attending Nader’s Thanksgiving dinner.
Nader, however, didn’t shy away from delivering her own roasts. She teased one sister for claiming to be younger but being “huge,” and poked fun at another sister’s romantic preferences. Despite the lighthearted digs, Nader did not confirm or deny the Ozempic claims.
Nader’s case isn’t isolated. Ozempic, a drug used to manage type 2 diabetes, has become a popular weight-loss tool, especially among those who aren’t diabetic but want to shed a few pounds. This rise in demand has led to shortages, leaving actual diabetic patients struggling to access the drug. While Ozempic has been around for years as a treatment for obesity in diabetic patients, it has recently gained attention from healthy individuals seeking weight loss, prompting heated debates about its availability and ethical use.
