‘Stressed’ George Santos using Ozempic again to lose weight ahead of looming trial: ‘I’m too old to be a twink’
Geo-oh, oh, oh, Ozempic – he knows.
Expelled Congressman George Santos is back on Ozempic in a bid to lose 70 pounds. The New York native tells Page Six exclusively that after he lost more than 100 pounds with the celebrity-beloved weight loss drug, the stress of his alleged crimes took a toll and he gained weight.
“Then everything else happened in my life and I went totally off. Stress got to me,” Santos, 35, tells us. “I did gain 40 pounds back. So yesterday I decided I am going back on.”
Last May, prosecutors charged Santos with embezzling $50,000 in campaign money to buy designer clothing and pay personal expenses. He was also accused of abusing COVID unemployment benefits and lying to Congress on financial disclosure forms in which he claimed to be a millionaire.
He’s pleaded not guilty.
The ousted Republican politician wants to “educate” the masses about the drug because there’s “so much taboo” about it and its potential side effects, of which Santos has said he’s experienced “almost zero.”
Santos, who hopes to shrink down to 200 pounds from 270, has been completing GTX workouts at his local gym to help shed the weight faster.
“OK, I’m 6-foot-2. I don’t want to be skinny,” he says. “I’m too old to be a twink anyway.”
Page Six broke the news in August 2023 that the lying Long Island Rep. was overheard touting his weight loss at a swanky Manhattan party – and credited Ozempic for the slimmed-down figure.
“George said, ‘I’ve lost 92 pounds on Ozempic over the last eight months,’” an insider shared with us at the time.
Before beginning his initial weight-loss journey, Santos weighed 352 pounds and wore “a size 55, 56 jacket,” he says.
“I had a moment where I’m like, ‘Enough.’”
