Dolores Catania was one of the first celebrities to openly say she uses Ozempic for weight loss, but she told Page Six in April 2023 that she does it for medical reasons.

She explained that she’s dealing with menopause, thyroid issues, and inflammation, which make it hard for her to lose weight. Despite working out and eating well, she was still gaining weight due to these issues.

While Catania has had good results with Ozempic, some people have warned about possible side effects.

Catania previously said she began taking Ozempic because she was struggling with menopause, inflammation and other issues.

Sharon Osbourne has said she’s lost too much weight from using Ozempic and now struggles to gain weight back.

Recently, Lottie Moss, Kate Moss’s younger sister, had to go to the hospital after getting very dehydrated and having a seizure because she took too much of the drug.

A recent study also found that Ozempic has been connected to 162 deaths in the US.

I Incurred a $500 Fine When My Neighbor Falsely Accused My Son of Her Toddler’s Hallway Scribbles — I Couldn’t Let It Go

Caitlin often found herself informally supervising her neighbor Stacy’s young son, Nate, providing him some stability while his mom sought time for herself. However, when Nate decorated the hallway walls with doodles during Caitlin’s absence, she was unjustly slapped with a $500 fine. Determined to set things right, Caitlin devised a plan for retribution.

Stacy had become accustomed to letting her young son, Nate, roam the hallway as a play area.

“It’s safe, Caitlin,” she’d assure me. “Plus, it’s their version of outdoor play.”

She would then retreat behind her door, leaving Nate to his devices, often while she entertained guests.

“I just need some downtime,” she confessed to me once in the laundry room. “I’m a grown woman with needs, you know. Being a single mom, you must get it.”

I understood her need for personal space, but I could never imagine letting my own son, Jackson, wander the hallways alone. Despite our general familiarity with the neighbors, the corridors didn’t feel completely secure.

Jackson, slightly older than Nate, seemed concerned about the younger boy, who often loitered alone, clutching his tattered teddy bear.

“Mom,” Jackson would say during his playtime, “maybe we should invite him over.”

Grateful for my son’s compassion, I agreed. It was better to keep both children within sight, ensuring their safety.

Thus, we began having Nate over for snacks, toys, and movies—a simple arrangement that brought him noticeable joy.

“He mentioned he likes playing with others,” Jackson noted one day. “I don’t think his mom spends much time with him.”

And interestingly, Stacy hardly acknowledged this setup. Once she realized Nate was safe with us, she seemed to extend her leisure time even more.

Eventually, it became routine for Nate to knock on our door whenever his mother let him out.

“Hello,” he’d say, teddy in hand. “I’m here to play.”

However, one day, we were away at my parents’ house for my mom’s birthday.

“I hope Nate will be okay,” Jackson expressed concern as we drove.

“Oh, honey,” I responded. “His mom is there. She’s responsible for his safety too.”

Upon our return, we were greeted by hallway walls covered in childish drawings—a colorful chaos of stick figures and squiggles.

“Nate must have had fun,” I remarked, searching for my keys.

“Isn’t he going to be in trouble?” Jackson asked, eyeing the artwork.
