Supermodel Kate Moss's younger sister, Lottie Moss, revealed this week that she overdosed on the weight loss drug Ozempic, had a seizure, and was subsequently hospitalized.
In the latest episode of the 26-year-old model's podcast, Dream On, Moss shared that she started taking Ozempic a few months ago because she was unhappy with her body. She said she had a friend who could provide her with the medication, but it was "kind of below board."
"It was from a doctor, but it wasn't like you go into a doctor's office and he prescribes it for you, he takes your blood pressure and takes tests, which is what you need when you go on something like Ozempic," Moss said.
Moss was on Ozempic for two weeks, adding that she injected the drug into her leg to avoid nausea. She also revealed that she started at a lower dosage but eventually increased it to one meant for people twice her weight, which left her bedridden for two days. When she couldn't keep water or food down, she asked a friend to take her to the hospital. While in the waiting room, Moss said she had a seizure from dehydration.
The model said taking the drug was "the worst decision" she's ever made and warned others against making the same mistake. Despite that way it is frequently portrayed in the media as a wonder drug, Moss says Ozempic is "not what we need right now." She also encouraged people to be happy with their bodies.
"Be happy you have a body that functions and works instead of putting it through something like that. It can be so detrimental in the future for your body," she said.
Moss previously stirred controversy when she joined the adult platform OnlyFans and began sharing spicy photos of herself.
She told Fox News earlier this year she was "proud" of her page and found the work empowering.
"This is something that I've always really wanted to do, and I've never done it," she said in an interview with the news network. "And I want to be able to get to the end of my career and just be like, I did it all. You never know until you try something like this as well, whether you could be like, really good."
