During an appearance Tuesday onWatch What Happens Live,The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar denied using Ozempic — and said her weight loss came from “going through menopause.”
When hostAndy Cohentold the Bravo star she looked like a “whisper of herself,” the “XXPEN$IVE" singer — who was on hand to promote herLas Vegasresidency,“Bet It All on Blonde”, which kicks off next month — acknowledged the weight loss.

“I did come down in weight," Jayne confirmed, adding, “I did it hormonally.”
“Not Ozempic-ally?” asked Cohen.
The Bravo host has previously joked that theReal Housewives of Ozempicis“already airing,” referring to many of the cast members of the franchise who have disclosed — or denied — taking thediabetes drug Ozempicto lose weight.
“I was going through menopause,” Jayne, 52, said. “So, I took it all down.'
Fellow guestJackie Hoffmanquestioned Jayne’s claim, asking, “Who loses weight in menopause?”
Generally, “menopause weight gain is common,” according to theMayo Clinic, which explains that “the hormonal changes of menopause tend to make it more likely that women will gain weight around the abdomen, rather than the hips and thighs.”

However, Jayne said, “I went to the doctor and I said get it off.”
She didn’t elaborate on how her doctor helped her lose weight.
Jayne did, however, give some scoop on upcoming thirteenth season ofReal Housewives of Beverly Hills, saying she had expected to butt heads with “everyone, the entire cast” and said “Kyle [Richards], always” throws the best parties.
And when Cohen asked which cast member will have “the most to answer to at the reunion,” she replied ,“Not me, and I don’t care about the rest.”
“I’m off the hook!”
