Love is blind star Hannah Jiles defends herself against the accusation that the controversial drug Ozempic is responsible for her recent weight loss.

“Everyone says I’m on Ozempic. I tried Ozempic. “I tried it out for two weeks in the spring,” said 27-year-old Hannah People in an interview on Thursday, October 17th. “Unfortunately I think it’s a great thing, but it made me so sick I couldn’t bear it.”

She added: “Trust me, I would take it if I could, but it was just up to me.”

Ozempic, Wegovy, and other similar semaglutides are often prescribed to adults with conditions such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes to control weight. Many celebrities have tried such drugs to lose weight quickly, but doctors have warned against using them for occasional weight loss.

Hannah Jiles/TikTok Love Is Blind season 7 star Hannah Jiles shows off her post-show transformation.

For her part, Hannah opted for traditional weight loss methods after Ozempic failed to produce results.

“I still don't really like working out, but I just try to exercise as much as possible,” the Netflix star told the outlet. “And if I can do Pilates or yoga, that's the best thing I can do because I don't go running. That’s just not me.”

Hannah further pointed out that she doesn't “eat a lot” at mealtimes either.

“I don't change what I eat, just how much I ate and just try to exercise more,” she added. “I feel better inside. And I think it really reflects. It's much easier to get up, move, and eat healthy when you're not depressed inside. You feel better.”

Hannah appeared in season 7 of Love is blindwhich was filmed in October 2023 and aired earlier this month. In the capsules she made connections with Leo Braudy And Nick Dorka. She told them about previous problems with her weight and self-confidence.

“It's just part of my journey and when I talk about weight loss, it's my biggest insecurity, so it's something that's important to me,” Hannah said exclusively Us weekly earlier this month. “And when I talk about it, I don't think I'm revealing what I look like because they don't know if I weigh 300 pounds and have lost that weight or if I weigh 120 pounds and have lost that weight. You can judge or try to figure out how much I weigh, but I have confidence and I just want to let you know because that's me and it's a part of me.”

Hannah eventually got engaged to 28-year-old Nick sight unseen, but when they returned to their normal lives they called it quits. Hannah had questioned Nick's willingness to marry and his maturity.
