Latest / Two Ts In A Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge / Two Ts Presents: Two Jersey Js: Jackie’s Turn
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Hey guys, this is Jackie Goldschneider with two Jersey Jays,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but today I am solo because I want to talk
- 0:10Speaker 1: to you about something. So this week, Kelly Osborne gave
- 0:14Speaker 1: an interview to E News where she basically said that
- 0:17Speaker 1: people who are against die drugs like ozembic are either
- 0:21Speaker 1: jealous or poor. So her exact words were, people hate
- 0:26Speaker 1: on it because they want to do it, and the
- 0:28Speaker 1: people who hate on it the most are the people
- 0:30Speaker 1: who are secretly doing it or pissed off that they
- 0:33Speaker 1: can't afford it. She then called the drugs amazing and
- 0:37Speaker 1: a much more interesting way to lose weight than exercise.
- 0:41Speaker 1: So let's bypass her as a public figure encouraging people
- 0:45Speaker 1: to go on die drugs and discouraging exercise as a
- 0:48Speaker 1: boring way to get in shape. Let's put that aside,
- 0:51Speaker 1: because that in and of itself is so irresponsible. And
- 0:55Speaker 1: let me also say that although I co host this
- 0:57Speaker 1: podcast with the incredible Jennifer Esler, these opinions today are
- 1:02Speaker 1: mine alone, not Gens, who, as you know, has been
- 1:06Speaker 1: and is on semaglutides. And finally, my thoughts on Kelly's
- 1:11Speaker 1: statements are not aimed at people who use these drugs
- 1:14Speaker 1: for obesity, type two diabetes, or binge eating disorder. So
- 1:20Speaker 1: here we go, Kelly Osborne. You are a grown woman,
- 1:23Speaker 1: and obviously you can and have done whatever you want
- 1:27Speaker 1: to your body, and you can rationalize your decisions however
- 1:31Speaker 1: you'd like. But when you publicly declare that people with
- 1:35Speaker 1: concerns and apprehensions about putting a mysterious drug into their
- 1:38Speaker 1: body are either jealous or poor, you delegitimize some very
- 1:42Speaker 1: serious and very real concerns that people like me are
- 1:46Speaker 1: entitled to have and entitled two voice. I could be
- 1:49Speaker 1: on this crap tomorrow if I want to, because every
- 1:53Speaker 1: medspot in New Jersey that I pass is handing it
- 1:55Speaker 1: out like candy. And I also have enough money to
- 1:57Speaker 1: be on it for twenty lifetimes. So I am neither
- 2:00Speaker 1: jealous of people using ozembic. So I'm neither jealous of
- 2:04Speaker 1: people using ozembic. I'm not secretly using ozembic, and I
- 2:08Speaker 1: am certainly not too poor to afford it. So I'd
- 2:11Speaker 1: like to respond and reiterate why some of us might
- 2:14Speaker 1: take real issue with drugs like ozembic. So first, I
- 2:20Speaker 1: see the way that this is going, and every day
- 2:22Speaker 1: it's becoming less and less acceptable to be overweight. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: that's a very dangerous world to live in, and it's
- 2:29Speaker 1: a world I don't want to live in. A few
- 2:31Speaker 1: years ago, we were embracing curves and fuller bodies, and now,
- 2:36Speaker 1: with so many people going on these drugs, especially public
- 2:40Speaker 1: facing people who are people we watch and emulate, we
- 2:44Speaker 1: are seeing rail thin bodies instead of healthy, normal bodies
- 2:49Speaker 1: become the norm. We're seeing Heroine Sheep normalized again. We
- 2:55Speaker 1: are seeing skinny as the new average woman's body. And
- 2:59Speaker 1: many of us have daughters like me. I have a
- 3:02Speaker 1: thirteen year old daughter, and sometimes she grabs her thighs
- 3:06Speaker 1: and asks me why they're so big, even though they
- 3:08Speaker 1: are not. And sometimes she hates her stomach, even though
- 3:12Speaker 1: it's perfect. And some of that is my fault, because
- 3:15Speaker 1: I very publicly recovered from an eating disorder, and I
- 3:19Speaker 1: let my daughter watch me mistreat my body for most
- 3:22Speaker 1: of her life. But all the things that I've tried
- 3:26Speaker 1: to do to undo those lessons that I've taught her
- 3:30Speaker 1: are being overshadowed by all the newly emaciated bodies that
- 3:33Speaker 1: she sees everywhere. And now she's growing up in a
- 3:37Speaker 1: world where It's almost unacceptable to not be thin because
- 3:42Speaker 1: everybody can be thin now, everybody can get on diet
- 3:47Speaker 1: drugs now, and not being thin means you must be poor,
- 3:51Speaker 1: right Kelly? And no one wants to look like the
- 3:53Speaker 1: poor fat girl, do they? I know so many women
- 3:57Speaker 1: on these drugs. It is everywhere, and every every day
- 4:00Speaker 1: there are more and more people taking it. And as
- 4:04Speaker 1: everyone around me suddenly has their ribs and shoulder blades
- 4:07Speaker 1: sticking out, I get scared for the world and the
- 4:11Speaker 1: values that we are creating. So where are we going
- 4:14Speaker 1: as a society? Where are we trending when it comes
- 4:17Speaker 1: to women's bodies. That has nothing to do with being poor,
- 4:21Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with being jealous. That is
- 4:23Speaker 1: a very real concern. And by the way, what if,
- 4:28Speaker 1: like Kelly said, you are too poor to afford it?
- 4:31Speaker 1: Then what then? How do you get thin like everybody else?
- 4:36Speaker 1: Maybe by starving yourself or throwing up or taking a
- 4:41Speaker 1: different kind of dry drug. When skinny becomes the default
- 4:46Speaker 1: and the new normal, that's the kind of standards we
- 4:49Speaker 1: are imposing on the average woman now, and it is
- 4:52Speaker 1: very dangerous. Maybe some of us are concerned because these
- 4:57Speaker 1: drugs lack long term studies on people who are not
- 5:00Speaker 1: suffering from type two diabetes, and we worry. We worry
- 5:04Speaker 1: for our friends and our sisters, and our moms and
- 5:07Speaker 1: our daughters who are injecting themselves with the drug that
- 5:10Speaker 1: affects so many of their organs. Ozembic mimics the hormone
- 5:15Speaker 1: called glp one, which helps the pancreas release insulin. I
- 5:19Speaker 1: am not a doctor or a medical professional, but this
- 5:22Speaker 1: is what I gather from research. So semaglutides stimulate your
- 5:26Speaker 1: pancreas to release insulin. It also stops your liver from
- 5:29Speaker 1: producing glucagon. Semaglutides sends signals to the appetite center in
- 5:34Speaker 1: your brain to reduce hunger and increase fullness. It also
- 5:40Speaker 1: slows down your digestion and your gastric emptying, helping you
- 5:43Speaker 1: feel full longer. So basically, it affects your pancreas, your liver,
- 5:48Speaker 1: your brain, your endocrinal system, your intestines, and your stomach.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Common side effects of ozempic are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea,
- 5:58Speaker 1: which all lead to appetites of Russian and hence, with
- 6:01Speaker 1: all of that, you lose weight. Other side effects can
- 6:05Speaker 1: include inflammation of your pancreas, which is called pancreatitis, changes
- 6:09Speaker 1: in your vision, hypoglycemia which is low blood sugar, kidney
- 6:13Speaker 1: problems like kidney failure, serious allergic reactions, ballbladder problems, thyroid
- 6:19Speaker 1: c cell tumors, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. So maybe some
- 6:26Speaker 1: of us are worried about that that a largely unstudied drug.
- 6:30Speaker 1: When it comes to non diabetic bodies that people we
- 6:34Speaker 1: love are taking, maybe we worried about their muscle. Maybe
- 6:40Speaker 1: we worry about their muscle loss that we've seen people
- 6:43Speaker 1: we love experience, which is very dangerous, especially for an
- 6:47Speaker 1: older woman's health. Maybe we worry about malnutrition and hair
- 6:51Speaker 1: loss and all the other things that can happen to
- 6:54Speaker 1: your body when you do not eat enough. Maybe we're
- 6:59Speaker 1: worried about what they might find in a few years
- 7:02Speaker 1: in people we love who are using these drugs, because
- 7:07Speaker 1: a lot of people we love are using them, and
- 7:09Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with being poor or being jealous.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Maybe we're worried about what happens when you have to
- 7:17Speaker 1: come off of these drugs, because unless you plan on
- 7:20Speaker 1: staying on them until the day you die, once you
- 7:24Speaker 1: come off almost all the studies show that you gain
- 7:26Speaker 1: back most, if not all, of the weight that you lost.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Maybe we're worried about all the people who will then
- 7:34Speaker 1: be left spiraling because their skinny body is slowly disappearing
- 7:39Speaker 1: and they're desperate to get it back. And here's where
- 7:43Speaker 1: I have skin in the game. Maybe we're worried about
- 7:46Speaker 1: all the new eating disorders in cases of anorexia, and
- 7:49Speaker 1: all the anxiety and mental health issues that might cause.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And trust me when I say that anorexia is a
- 7:56Speaker 1: living hell. I know because I lived there for eighteen years.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I starved myself for eighteen years, close to death because
- 8:05Speaker 1: I was so desperate to be thin. I hated the
- 8:08Speaker 1: body that I lived in. What if someone like me
- 8:11Speaker 1: is legitimately worried that all people that never had eating
- 8:14Speaker 1: disorders before yet so used to being thin that they
- 8:18Speaker 1: don't want to go back ever, no matter what, even
- 8:22Speaker 1: if they have a side effect that forces them to
- 8:24Speaker 1: choose between their health and their diet drugs. Maybe we're
- 8:29Speaker 1: worried because the drugs are close to being approved for
- 8:32Speaker 1: use in children. When I was sixteen, I was so
- 8:35Speaker 1: desperate to change my body. I would have been first
- 8:39Speaker 1: in line for these drugs. I shudder when I think
- 8:43Speaker 1: of my undeveloped adolescent body being injected with diet drugs
- 8:47Speaker 1: so I could shut off my hunger. Instead of learning
- 8:50Speaker 1: healthy ways to manage my weight, I would have given
- 8:53Speaker 1: myself a life sentence. Gladly, I would have begged for
- 8:56Speaker 1: it so that I could be thin. And we know
- 8:59Speaker 1: how this goes. It gets approved for kids with certain BMIs,
- 9:03Speaker 1: and then you have doctors and medspas that'll figure out
- 9:06Speaker 1: ways to tweak that and get it into your child's
- 9:09Speaker 1: hands with not quite the BMI you're supposed to have,
- 9:12Speaker 1: just like they did for adults. And as kids start
- 9:15Speaker 1: using ozembic, and add to all of the ozembic success
- 9:19Speaker 1: stories that we see on TikTok, then you've got an
- 9:23Speaker 1: adolescent trend like Stanley cups and sol Ly Janeiro products,
- 9:28Speaker 1: except this one is potentially very dangerous. Maybe some of
- 9:33Speaker 1: us are worried about all the teenage girls we know
- 9:37Speaker 1: suddenly feeling like they have to be on ozembic, also
- 9:40Speaker 1: including my little girl. Maybe we're worried about people like you, Kelly,
- 9:46Speaker 1: who belittle people who aren't on diet drugs, who make
- 9:49Speaker 1: it seem like there's something wrong with us for being wary,
- 9:53Speaker 1: or for not wanting to be rale thin, or for
- 9:56Speaker 1: people who want to feel okay about living in a
- 9:58Speaker 1: larger body. Maybe it's people like you who make it
- 10:01Speaker 1: so that when people see someone who's overweight, we assume
- 10:05Speaker 1: that that person must be poor or have some medical
- 10:09Speaker 1: condition that means they can't use osmpic. Maybe we worry
- 10:13Speaker 1: that people like you will look at anyone who's not
- 10:15Speaker 1: thin and say, what's wrong with them? Why are they
- 10:19Speaker 1: still fat? Or maybe we just can't stand going to
- 10:22Speaker 1: dinner and being the only one at the table with
- 10:25Speaker 1: an appetite. Maybe selfishly, we hate the way that makes
- 10:30Speaker 1: us feel when we watch our tablemates order an appetizer
- 10:33Speaker 1: as their meal and pick at it. Maybe we hate
- 10:36Speaker 1: the negative self talk we go through when we're the
- 10:39Speaker 1: only ones at the table eating, when we ask ourselves
- 10:43Speaker 1: should I keep eating even though we're hungry? But we
- 10:46Speaker 1: feel bad about finishing our meals because no one around
- 10:50Speaker 1: us is finishing their meal. Maybe some of us hate that,
- 10:54Speaker 1: or maybe that's just me. And this is all not
- 10:58Speaker 1: to mention the many diabetic piece people who cannot access
- 11:01Speaker 1: their medication because of this. A zembic trend. And if
- 11:05Speaker 1: that is not a legitimate concern, and I don't know
- 11:08Speaker 1: what is, either way, be careful with your words, Kelly Osborne.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I'm very happy for you. If you're happy, if you
- 11:16Speaker 1: love being skin and bones, and you have no concerns
- 11:20Speaker 1: over your health, and no concerns about your mom's health
- 11:24Speaker 1: as she dips under one hundred pounds after losing forty
- 11:27Speaker 1: two pounds in four months and saying that she can't
- 11:31Speaker 1: gain anything back for some mysterious reason. If you have
- 11:34Speaker 1: no concerns about that, then I'm happy for you. I'm
- 11:37Speaker 1: happy that you're happy, and I hope you don't go
- 11:39Speaker 1: on to suffer any of the potential side effects people
- 11:43Speaker 1: are not talking about. I just asked that, as a
- 11:46Speaker 1: public figure and an influencer, you be careful with your words,
- 11:51Speaker 1: because there are women listening and teenagers and preteens listening
- 11:56Speaker 1: and watching you. And shaming people who choose, for whatever
- 11:59Speaker 1: reason not to use a drug that makes them thin
- 12:02Speaker 1: is a very dangerous and irresponsible thing to do. And
- 12:08Speaker 1: that's all I have to say. I gotta go now, guys,
- 12:10Speaker 1: It's time for me to eat
