Rosie O'Donnell Shows Off Weight Loss: ‘I Can’t Believe This is Me’

24 May 2025 at 20:07

Rosie O’Donnell showed off her weight loss following her recent move to Ireland.

The former Rosie O’Donnell Show host, 63, shared a new photo via Instagram on Saturday, May 24, in which she credited the weight loss medication Mounjaro for her new look.

“I cant believe this is me now,” O’Donnell wrote, along with hashtagging the photo with “mounjaro,” “weightloss” and “bodydismorphia.”

Mounjaro is an injectable medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes and has shown effectiveness in weight loss.

O’Donnell first shared with her social media followers in March that she was taking Mounjaro as part of her diabetes treatment.

 

“I’ve lost more weight. I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes and one of the side effects is you lose weight,” she said. “But it’s also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles and I don’t have a chef now. It’s me cooking for Clay and me.”

She continued, “I’m one of those people who always had a weight issue and now that I’m a size large — instead of an XL or a XXL — I find it shocking. I really do. I find it completely shocking.”

Mob Wives star Renee Graziano recently revealed a 52-pound weight loss that she credited, in part, to using Mounjaro. She added that “right supplements” and “doing all the work behind [her] insecurity” were also responsible for her fitness journey.

“I’ve battled self-criticism in the past! Ripped myself down to the ground!!” Graziano, 57, wrote via Instagram. “I truly was so sick and tired of my life and my inability to lose weight so I thought I’d eat until I felt better THAT NEVER HAPPENED, I felt like I was constantly falling short—of how I ‘should’ look, feel, and keep up with what society tells us is acceptable.”

Graziano went on, “That’s why, when I see photos that show the real, visible change, my clear eyes and genuine smile, I have to share. I want everyone to know if I can do it, you can do it! It’s all possible!!”

Amy Schumer has praised Mounjaro as well, revealing she adjusted more easily to the injectable medication than its competitor medication Wegovy. (According to WebMD, Mounjaro is classified similarly to other drugs such as Wegovy or Ozempic because they all contain GLP-1, which assists in weight loss. Mounjaro is designed to help diabetes patients with weight management, with common side effects including nausea and diarrhea.)

“Three years ago, I tried Wegovy,” Schumer, 43, said in an Instagram video in March. “I was puking, I couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if they’ve changed the formula, whatever. But anyway, I went on this Telehealth meeting with [virtual care clinic] Midi Health, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself ‘cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers.”

She added, “They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms from being perimenopause have disappeared. My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more, if you know what I mean. I’m talking about sex. So that’s been great and Mounjaro’s been great.”

Meanwhile, O’Donnell moved from the U.S. to Ireland with her 12-year-old child, Clay, in January. The actress exclusively told Us Weekly in April that the pair were now settled in Dublin.

“There’s a great, great school there. And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming,” O’Donnell told Us. “And I love the little town, the little village. It’s in the heart of Dublin, but it’s still a village where you know the name of the grocer and you know the name of the cashiers. People are unbearably kind in a way that shocks me every single day.”

O’Donnell admitted to Us that she was surprised to see Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi leave the U.S. as well, to resettle in the English countryside.

“I’ve never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually,” O’Donnell told Us. “I’ve been a political person my whole life, not better or worse, it’s just a different way to be in the world. I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving, and I don’t think it came as a surprise to anyone. We’re not really in each other’s worlds, and it’s been kind of awkward but you know what? I wish her the best. I wish that she has peace and love in her life and that she is OK.”

O’Donnell’s fans will next see her in season three of Sex and the City sequel show And Just Like That…, which premieres on Max Thursday, May 29, and new episodes drop weekly.

Diddy’s Memorial Day Weekend Menu and Activities Revealed: Report

24 May 2025 at 19:03

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Memorial Day Weekend menu and activities schedule in jail have reportedly been revealed.

Diddy, 55, and the inmates of Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center will be able to dine on festive treats and play basketball during the holiday weekend, according to TMZ.

The website reports that the menu for this weekend includes a selection of fruit and cereal for breakfast, while inmates can choose between barbecued chicken, macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables and a mysterious “holiday dessert” for lunch. At dinnertime, Diddy can indulge in chicken and rice — or tofu if he prefers— as well as pinto beans, canned corn and whole wheat bread.

When the MDC inmates aren’t busy dining, there is reportedly a set of activities they will be able to enjoy. The detention center allows inmates to play a selection of board games, dominoes or spades, or if they’d prefer to be a bit more physically active, they can take part in three-on-three basketball games.

Since his arrest in September 2024, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His four requests for bail were denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all of the allegations against him.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

The trial began in Manhattan federal court on May 12 and made headlines with explosive testimony from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie. During four days of intense testimony, Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) alleged that she endured physical, emotional and sexual abuse during her on-off 11-year relationship with the embattled mogul.

The second week of the trial included other major bombshells, including Cassie’s ex-boyfriend Kid Cudi comparing Diddy’s behavior to “a Marvel supervillain” during an alleged confrontation between the two men at Soho House in Los Angeles. Cassie’s mother, Regina Ventura, testified on Tuesday, May 20, she took out a $20,000 home equity loan in order to satisfy an alleged blackmail demand from Diddy. (Diddy has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.)

Because of the Memorial Day holiday, the trial will begin its third week on Tuesday, May 27, where Diddy’s former assistant, Capricorn Clark, is expected on the witness stand.

Away from the courtroom, Diddy’s twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, 18, graduated from Sierra Canyon High School in California this past week. Videos from their social media show their brother Justin Dior Combs presenting his sisters with diamond necklaces in honor of their special day. (Diddy has seven children — he shared D’Lila and Jessie with late partner Kim Porter and Justin was born during his relationship with fashion designer Misa Hylton.)
