However, she was recently accused of using Ozempic supplements in order to shed those extra pounds – but she quickly dispelled those claims via an Instagram post about her weight loss journey that didn’t involve pharmaceutical products.

In her latest Instagram post, the actress shared an impressive weight loss transformation. Starting off with a mirror selfie showing off her abs, and including a weight tracker screenshot which showed that she has shed quite a lot of pounds within four months, these pictures demonstrate an amazing story of transformation!
The next two photos she posted showed herself and Ross taking daily hikes together while admiring nature’s stunning beauty and appreciating mother Earth’s bounties. Additionally, she posted a selfie showing herself wearing an original skirt from 17 years ago!
One fan quickly responded to the photo by commenting, “That Ozempic face is real! Damn!!!”. Several other fans also made remarks regarding her supplement use or applauded her for making such a drastic life transformation.

Ricki was transparent in her Instagram post regarding her incredible weight loss journey and discussed how she and Ross made a commitment to lose the weight naturally.
