Nikki Glaser defended Ozempic on a March 24 appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'
“They just go, ‘You’re stealing medicine from diabetics who need it.’ Like anyone’s ever cared about someone with diabetes who doesn’t have it,” she said. “I think you’re upset that Kathy Bates has a thigh gap. That’s more what it could be about, I think.”
Although she expressed her opinion with a touch of humor, she clarified that she is indeed serious about being in favor of the trending medication.
“Oh, I love it, I love. I’m like, do it, do it. I have no judgment," she declared. “If you want to do Ozempic, h--- yeah, girl. I want people to feel more comfortable talking about doing it, because I feel like there’s, like, this shame — and the shame is only from thin people who want you to stay fat.”
Nikki Glaser said plastic surgery 'makes [her] life better.'
Glaser, 40, also defended plastic surgery, confessing that she's planning on getting a face lift in August 2026. She believes there's a stigma surrounding face work and that although there is a "little bit of a sadness to it," it "makes [her] life better."
"People treat you better when you're hotter. It's just a fact. It's a sad fact of life," she bluntly declared.
Glaser clapped back at those who question why she doesn't love the way she was born by comparing plastic surgery to college.
"Why did you go to college? Why didn't you love the brain you were born with?" she stated.
