Gina Kirschenheiter is doing whatever it takes to dispel rumors she’s taking Ozempic.
The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 39, clapped back at a follower who suggested she was using the diabetes drug to shed pounds by stepping on a scale.
“I’m a size 6. If i wasnt eating i would be a 2. Go kick rocks,” she captioned a TikTok video on Saturday. “I’m weighing myself to silence the noise.”
“I am very healthy, very average,” she said in the clip. “Like all of us, I try to take my pictures at good angles [and] I stopped drinking a year and a half ago.”
Kirschenheiter — who revealed that she was 5’8 and weighed 155.9 pounds — reiterated, “I’m not on a weight loss drug and it’s not my fault that you want to try and make something that’s not there, my friend.”
“I am very healthy,” she insisted in the video.
Despite her best intentions, her post was met with mixed reviews as many thanked her for being so candid, while others thought the video was unnecessary.
“Dont waste your energy on people like this!!! Your time is too precious,” one person wrote.

Another user commented, “Who cares if it was [Ozempic]??? She’s beautiful lady. Mind your own damn business.”
While a third person chimed in, “I’m the same size and I am on a weight loss drug, don’t understand why that would be an insult.”

This isn’t the first time Kirschenheiter has spoken about her figure on social media.
Back in February, she shared a mirror selfie with the caption, “Where comfy meets casual….that’s where I’ll be ❤️ Ps. My little belly is due to winter cookie intake and I’m perfectly ok with it so you should be too.”
For the last couple of months, the Bravo universe has been plagued with Ozempic rumors with many — such as Dolores Catania, Jennifer Fessler, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi and Erica Jayne — admitting to using it.
The use of Ozempic has become so widespread that it has led to nationwide shortages of the drug for those who need it to treat Type 2 diabetes.
