JOE BUDDEN is trending and not for his usual hot takes. During a recent episode of THE JOE BUDDEN PODCAST, the self proclaimed Podcast King casually admitted he has been using OZEMPIC to lose weight. While the confession alone might not have caused outrage the internet quickly turned ruthless once fans revisited JOE BUDDEN past comments criticizing and mocking others for using the drug. Old clips resurfaced showing him calling OZEMPIC an easy way out making his admission feel like classic hypocrisy.
The backlash intensified when fans remembered that co host MELYSSA FORD previously opened up about her own OZEMPIC usage and faced public scrutiny including judgment from JOE BUDDEN himself. Now that he has admitted he is doing the same thing critics are calling out the double standard and questioning why he felt comfortable judging others while secretly using the drug.
The OZEMPIC conversation continues to divide celebrity culture with critics arguing misuse impacts diabetic patients while supporters say people deserve autonomy over their bodies. For JOE BUDDEN the controversy is less about weight loss and more about credibility. Known for calling out inauthentic behavior he is now facing the very criticism he built his brand on exposing. Social media remains relentless with memes jokes and side eye as fans debate whether honesty is enough to erase the hypocrisy.
