The backlash from fans follows Cohen’s recent “Watch What Happens Live” interview with “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dolores Catania, in which she admitted to getting on the “bandwagon” of using Ozempic to lose weight.
Although she agreed with her critics’ views on the issue, calling the weight loss talk a “slippery slope,” she claimed that she never praised Catania’s weight but only noticed she was “skinny.”

Cohen, 54, received a lot of backlash from fans following his comments about Catania’s revelation that he uses diabetes medication to lose weight on the latest episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”

“Tonight is the third ‘Watch What Happens Live’ guest I’ve heard you praise for losing weight and ask about Ozempic,” the post read, per HuffPostcalled the host’s latest interview with Catania housewives.
The “RHONJ” star revealed that she joined the “bandwagon” after being questioned by Cohen about her new trim look. “I wasn’t going to come to a meeting looking bigger than everyone else, so I jumped on the bandwagon,” Catania said.

The “Sex and the City” alum agreed with her critics when she told her show’s listeners, “Well, you know what? This woman… she’s right.”
“I said to Dolores, ‘You look great,’ and she said, ‘Yes, I lost weight.’ I go, ‘Ozempy?’ He said, ‘Yes, you better believe it!’ I’m glad he told the truth, that way, because there are so many people who don’t,” he added.
Cohen notes that discussions about weight loss can be a “slippery slope.” He also added a word of caution to his defense, stating that he never praised Catania’s success in losing weight but only noticed he was “skinny.”
“I’m trying to send stuff for my audience to watch,” he said. “I mean, if Dolores looks 15 pounds lighter, I need to know how that happened.”
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Rybelsus, are brand names of Semaglutide used to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes and have the capacity for long-term weight management.
