Kyle Richards Dragged Into Weight Loss Drug Use Again After Daughter Laments Going Bald
Kyle Richards has some questions to answer about her daughter Sophia Umansky's experience with weight loss drugs. The reality star is being blamed for her daughter's indulging in a weight loss remedy after the 25-year-old admitted to the disturbing side effects of it in a TikTok video. Kyle Richards battled ozempic accusations three years ago after people raised eyebrows over her sudden thin physique on social media. The actress' daughter shared her distressing experience with hair loss, which she attributes to rapid weight loss rather than the weight-loss medication Mounjaro itself. In a TikTok video, the 25-year-old revealed that she began noticing significant hair thinning about three weeks to a month after starting the medication four months prior. In her words: "I started Mounjaro about four months ago, and I would say, like maybe for the past three weeks to a month, I've noticed a dramatic hair loss situation," While she currently has a lot of hair, she expressed concern that if the loss continues, she could be bald within a week. Sophia also provided alarming visuals of her hair loss, including clumps of hair found around her shower drain and on the walls, emphasizing that the situation is worse than it appears. She noted that as she brushes her hair throughout the day, she noted that "piles" often come out. Despite the alarming symptoms, Sophia believes her hair loss stems primarily from the rapid weight loss and nutritional deficiencies associated with it, rather than the medication itself. She admitted to making a concerted effort to consume more vitamins and protein to address the issue. She has also used OMI hair growth peptides, collagen, and Grüns vitamins to promote health. While her daughter did not mention Kyle in the video, concerned commenters dragged the doting mother into it, accusing her of setting the trend for the unhealthy practice. "It's absolutely Kyle's doing- she's very loud about her constant critique of her own appearance and insecurity, and that's definitely rubbed off on her girls," one critic explained, seemingly tying Kyle into the situation. Another person echoed the same sentiment, writing: "I mean her mom most likely is also on mounjaro.. Women who weren't gym educated, just caloric deficit." Another asked her why she is on that kind of treatment when she is already "SUPER thin!". One more user explained that Sophia chose mounjaro for the same reason "she got her nose and lips done." "This is wild. She was never over weight to begin with. Kyle check in on your daughter," a fourth TikTok user declared. As noted by The Blast in 2023, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star stood firm against rumors regarding her physique. She insisted that her toned body is the result of hard work and dedication rather than shortcuts. She shared a series of photos and videos on Instagram under the caption "Life Lately…," including a striking image of herself in a shiny multicolored shirt that revealed a hint of her black lace bra. However, a gym snapshot showcasing her impressive biceps gained the most attention. In response to allegations about using weight loss drugs like ozempic, she firmly denied the claims, stating, "I have never tried ozempic or any of those medicines, so stop spreading lies. You don't know me." She emphasized that her muscular physique is a product of her fitness journey, adding, "I have never taken it. I'm not on any weight loss drug." Acknowledging her anxiety, she expressed that such medications would terrify her. In her Instagram story, she highlighted the difficulty of changing people's beliefs, referring to "motivated reasoning," a psychological notion that explains how individuals cling to their beliefs despite contradicting evidence. She concluded with a touch of humor, playfully addressing her detractors with a light-hearted remark and the hashtag "#trolls." In 2023, The Blast shared that the star shared her empowering fitness journey, emphasizing that it was not driven by a desire for revenge after her split from her former partner, Mauricio. Instead, Kyle highlighted her transformation as a way to focus on her mental and physical well-being. She proudly proclaimed that she was in the best shape of her life, asserting that her new figure was more about feeling good than seeking validation. She encouraged other women to pursue their fitness goals regardless of age, reflecting on her past and noting that she feels better now than in her 20s and 30s, even after having four children. The star graced the cover of a magazine to showcase her remarkable results so far, attesting that her journey is truly about self-love and health rather than seeking revenge. Kyle and her estranged husband, Mauricio, announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. In 2022, a mother of four underwent a significant physical transformation following a breast reduction surgery, which marked a turning point in her life. After enjoying a vacation in Europe filled with indulgent food and drinks, she returned home feeling unrecognizable and struggling with her mental health, especially after losing her best friend to suicide. Motivated to make a change, she committed to a strict regimen that eliminated bad carbohydrates, alcohol, and sugar and dedicated herself to daily workouts. While she had always maintained an exercise routine, she decided to mix it up by incorporating weights, hot yoga, and running to better cope with her emotional challenges. This shift led to noticeable results in her physical fitness. How will Kyle Richards respond to the new accusations?

Mounjaro, which like Ozempic is an injectable originally developed to treat diabetes, has been taken by celebrities ranging from Meghan Trainor to Whoopi Goldberg.

3 Reasons OMI is Risky and 1 Stock to Buy Instead
What a brutal six months it's been for Owens & Minor. The stock has dropped 45.6% and now trades at $7.30, rattling many shareholders. This was partly due to its softer quarterly results and might have investors contemplating their next move. Is now the time to buy Owens & Minor, or should you be careful about including it in your portfolio? See what our analysts have to say in our full research report, it's free. Even with the cheaper entry price, we don't have much confidence in Owens & Minor. Here are three reasons why we avoid OMI and a stock we'd rather own. With roots dating back to 1882 and operations spanning approximately 80 countries, Owens & Minor (NYSE:OMI) is a healthcare solutions company that manufactures medical supplies, distributes products to healthcare providers, and delivers medical equipment directly to patients. A company's long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Unfortunately, Owens & Minor's 3% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was tepid. This fell short of our benchmark for the healthcare sector. Growth gives us insight into a company's long-term potential, but how capital-efficient was that growth? A company's ROIC explains this by showing how much operating profit it makes compared to the money it has raised (debt and equity). Owens & Minor historically did a mediocre job investing in profitable growth initiatives. Its five-year average ROIC was 4%, lower than the typical cost of capital (how much it costs to raise money) for healthcare companies. ROIC, or return on invested capital, is a metric showing how much operating profit a company generates relative to the money it has raised (debt and equity). We like to invest in businesses with high returns, but the trend in a company's ROIC is what often surprises the market and moves the stock price. Unfortunately, Owens & Minor's ROIC has decreased significantly over the last few years. Paired with its already low returns, these declines suggest its profitable growth opportunities are few and far between. Owens & Minor isn't a terrible business, but it doesn't pass our quality test. After the recent drawdown, the stock trades at 3.9× forward price-to-earnings (or $7.30 per share). While this valuation is optically cheap, the potential downside is big given its shaky fundamentals. We're pretty confident there are more exciting stocks to buy at the moment. Let us point you toward a fast-growing restaurant franchise with an A+ ranch dressing sauce. The market surged in 2024 and reached record highs after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, but questions about new economic policies are adding much uncertainty for 2025. While the crowd speculates what might happen next, we're homing in on the companies that can succeed regardless of the political or macroeconomic environment. Put yourself in the driver's seat and build a durable portfolio by checking out our Top 5 Growth Stocks for this month. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 175% over the last five years. Stocks that made our list in 2019 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+2,183% between December 2019 and December 2024) as well as under-the-radar businesses like Comfort Systems (+751% five-year return).
