Rosie O’Donnell is addressing her new appearance.
The 63-year-old comedian and actress, who disclosed that she was using Mounjaro years ago, posted a photo of herself in an Instagram post on Friday (May 23).
“I can’t believe this is me now,” she wrote alongside a screenshot of herself onstage in pants and a sweater holding a mic.
She also added the hashtags “#mounjaro,”#weightloss” and “#bodydismorphia.”

Mounjaro is a medication for Type 2 diabetes and weight loss, similar to Ozempic and Wegovy. Several other celebrities confirmed that they are on the drug as well.
Rosie spoke about using Mounjaro in a TikTok video a few months ago as well.
“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.”
Rosie, who moved to Ireland, said she had to go shopping in Dublin to get new clothes that “fit better” after her weight loss.
“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,” she said. “I really do. I find it completely shocking.”
In January 2023, Rosie said that her doctor had put her on Mounjaro and Repatha two months prior and she’d already started seeing a difference. She also made some lifestyle changes, and “not eating sugar as much as I can.”
“My appetite has decreased significantly. It’s probably the meds. And I’m trying to move more. So, all those things combined, that’s what it is,” she said at the time.
