Sophia Umansky, daughter of star Kyle Richards, shares why she decided to speak publicly about her use of the weight loss drug, the "Royal Housewife of Beverly Hills".
"If you're honest with things, people can't even judge you or hate you because you said it yourself." "You're a person who tells everyone, you have it, so anyone else has to say it, like, 'Okay, okay, I told you. I have it.' I think it's good, I always say I'm on Mounjaro.
Mounjaro is an FDA-approved prescription drug that is usually prescribed for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Recently, it has become a popular weight loss medication because it can reduce appetite.

The reality star’s daughter triggered a rebound when she shared her hair loss as a side effect of taking drugs in a video of Tiktok, with many commenting that she shouldn’t start using drugs.
"The people who told me I didn't need to attend, they didn't know what they were talking about. They weren't doctors," she said of the rebound. "And I think everyone needs to calm down and live their own lives. Honesty will keep you alive and lying isn't fun. It's not good."

She went on to say that her mom has been “very supportive of any decisions we made as daughters” and is certainly “trying to get me to avoid taking this medication.” But after talking to the doctor, Richards “sees that’s the path I want to go and she’s very supportive.”
“Yes, I think a lot of people are saying that my body is deformed, all of this, I think, ‘actually, no. I think I’m two cute. I think I used to be cute, and now I’m cute.’ She added: “It’s nothing wrong to try to feel more confident, there’s something cute.” "People are working all the time, they get stuffing, botulinum toxin, they do all kinds of things. So if I want to feel cuter, why not? ”

In Tiktok's video, Umansky explained that even if the fingers were passed through the hair, it would cause it to fall off, saying she was "luckily I had that much hair" because if she didn't, she would continue to lose it with such a quick, about a week of baldness".
"Tell me the people I don't need to attend, they don't know what they are talking about. They're not doctors."
Umansky has appeared in "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" multiple times throughout 14 seasons, because her mom has been an actor since she started performing in 2010. The family shared their ups and downs in the program, including the decisions made by Richards and her estranged husband, Mauricio Umanksy, after 27 years of marriage.

"I kept saying I didn't believe in the 'reality show curse' because my opinion is that a lot of people have broken bones in their marriage and then they see it as a way out. It's certainly not my story."
She went on to tell the media that if their lives took a different path, she didn't think she and Mauricio would be in this situation, saying, "I absolutely believe in money and fame and everything about marriage is not good."
