‘Hacks’ star slams those who lie about Ozempic use


When it comes to people allegedly lying about their Ozempic use, Megan Stalter has some thoughts.

During a recent appearance on the “Grindr Presents: Who’s The A–hole? with Katya” podcast, Stalter – who portrays Kayla in the Max drama “Hacks” – opened up about the weight-loss trend taking over Hollywood.
