Tori Spelling is spilling the tea. She confessed she used the medication Mounjaro to help lose weight after baby No. 5. She has no shame or regrets about this.
Tori spoke about this on the April 16, 2024, episode of her podcast misSPELLING. Unlike Ozempic, Mounjaro is based on the ingredient tirzepatide, not semaglutide. Both Mounjaro and Ozempic are FDA approved to treat Type 2 diabetes. Mounjaro can reduce a person's appetite, which causes many to experience weight loss.
“I did Mounjaro and everyone admits it now. It’s a different time so I don’t feel shamed saying that,” Tori stated. She did what she thought she needed to do.
Tori is a mother of five. She was able to lose weight naturally after the first four babies. She credits her good genes and thin parents for this win.

After her fifth baby was born, the pounds didn’t come off as easily. “I couldn’t lose the weight,” she went on to say. “At my heaviest, I was 120 pounds my entire life. And after Beau, I was 160 pounds.”
Tori was 44 years old when Beau was born and her doctor focused on that. “I couldn’t lose the weight and the doctor was like, ‘Well, it’s an age thing,’” she continued.
Tori doesn’t love working out or drinking water, but she changed her ways to try to lose the pounds. Nothing worked. “I did whatever anyone told me to do that was safe and it just wasn’t working,” she explained. “The weight wouldn’t come off.”
Finally she went back to the doctor. They came up with a new plan. “She put me simultaneously with the hormones on Mounjaro,” Tori explained. “I’m no longer on it but I did lose weight and I haven’t been on it since the end of January.”
Tori is not the only star to use the drug. Tracy Tutor, Dolores Catania, Gracie McGraw, Boy George, Whoopi Goldberg, and Lauren Manzo have all stated they used the drug at one time. Tori is in good company.
