Joy Behar shared the secret behind her weight loss, revealing that she shed 25 pounds with the help of a GLP-1 medication. The topic was brought up on the Wednesday, February 18, episode of The View, as a growing list of public figures have turned to Ozempic and Mounjaro to slim down. (Both are FDA-approved injectable medications used once a week to treat adults with type 2 diabetes that have gained traction in Hollywood for their weight-loss benefits.) "I did it because I was almost 300 pounds. And I'm looking good now!" Whoopi Goldberg said on the latest episode. Guest cohost Savannah Chrisley chimed in to share, "I lost 40 pounds." Behar, 83, confessed that she had also tried a GLP-1 medication, adding, "We all did it!" Rosie O'Donnell and More Stars Who've Used Mounjaro for Weight Loss Goldberg, 70, and Behar spoke candidly about their figures after previously defending Kelly Clarkson in March 2024 for turning to a prescription drug amid her own wellness journey. "They kick her behind when she's bigger, they kick her behind when she's lost the weight and now they're kicking her behind because she said it out loud," Goldberg said in her defense, noting the singer faced criticism either way. "I've been on diets up and down, up and down. You lose it, then you gain it back," Behar declared. "Nobody wants to be fat except a sumo wrestler. It's uncomfortable, your clothes don't fit, everybody wants to lose weight." Joy Behar on "The View" on September 17, 2025.

"Everybody thinks it's Ozempic," the American Idol season 1 winner said at the time. "It's not. It's something else." Clarkson revealed she noticed a major physical change after following her doctor's advice, noting that she was initially concerned about trying the prescription considering she already had thyroid problems. The chart-topping performer finally agreed because "my bloodwork got so bad." Kyle! Dolores! Gina! Every Real Housewife Who Addressed Ozempic Speculation Clarkson said she also incorporated exercise and proper nutrition to look and feel her best, including strolls in New York City, trips to her local infrared saunas and doing cold plunges. As for her diet, she said it included "a healthy mix," adding, "And 90 percent of the time I'm really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway. I'm a Texas girl, so I like meat - sorry, vegetarians in the world!" While discussing the subject of weight gain and weight loss, Goldberg suggested not judging others on a March 2024 episode of The View. "My weight has come and gone and up and down, but it's never been an issue for me because I don't listen to what other people say about me so it has never been a problem. But I think it's very hard for people to just know what a normal weight would be," she shared. "Everyone has something to say but no one said, 'How you doing?' Because it involves so many other things." The former Sister Act star highlighted, "I think it is a matter of how we treat ourselves."
