Joy Behar is not ashamed of losing weight with the help of GLP-1.
The “View” co-host revealed during Wednesday’s episode of the ABC talk show that she lost 25 pounds by taking weight loss pills.
The conversation occurred as co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sarah Haines, Sunny Hostin, and guest co-host Savannah Chrisley discussed the use of GLP-1, including Ozempic and Munjaro.
When Chrisley pointed out that she was on medication because she was pre-diabetic and had lost 40 pounds as a result, Goldberg agreed that she was taking it because she used to weigh nearly 300 pounds. “I’m feeling better now,” Goldberg proudly declared.
Behar said, “I lost 25 pounds. We all did it!”
Behar, 83, had not kept track of which medications she was taking.
Goldberg, 70, opened up about bringing Munjaro to Page Six in March 2024.
She explained that medication for type 2 diabetes was “the only way (doctors) could jumpstart (her) system,” adding that her “metabolism sped up” after taking steroids after back surgery.
Goldberg realized her weight was an issue while promoting her 2022 film Till.
“It was a lot of weight for me to carry, but I didn’t realize how much weight I was carrying,” she admitted. “I mean, I was looking at myself every day, and it didn’t seem weird to me. And I couldn’t breathe.”
Hostin, 57, also admitted to using Munjaro during a March 2024 episode of “The View” and said she had gained 40 pounds during the coronavirus pandemic.
“When you gain weight, you feel ashamed, but I’ve never experienced that kind of shame before,” she said.
Ms Hostin explained that she was “not clinically obese” when she started taking Munjaro, but was “horrified” when she found out her cholesterol level was 200, which puts her in the “high” category.
“I used Munjaro and my cholesterol was 140. I feel better now and I think I look better, which is what’s important to people,” she said.
However, not all celebrities have had a good experience with semaglutide.
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunny Zoe, recently revealed that in December 2025, she suffered from “suicidal thoughts and hallucinations” as a side effect.
“It was one of the darkest times of my life, and it was scary,” she told People.
