Tamra Judge slammed people who use the popular weight loss drug Ozempic for not putting in the hard work.

“There’s a difference between skinny and fit…I’m not on Ozempic. 🤷‍♀️I don’t take shortcuts. #WWHL,” Judge wrote in a since-deleted tweet on Wednesday.

The “Real Housewives of Orange County” star, 55, didn’t elaborate on who she was specifically referring to or what triggered her to send the tweet.

However, her ex-friend and co-star Jennifer Pedranti made a subtle dig about her on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” around the time of the tweet.

Cohen asked Pedranti, “who do you think is more fit – you or Tamra?”

“Oh man – me,” Pedranti, 46, said, while adding she does yoga “almost” every day.

Pedranti has not publicly addressed if she’s ever taken the diabetes-turned-weight loss drug.

Meanwhile, one of Judge’s other co-stars, Emily Simpson, fessed up to taking it after initially clapping back at haters for assuming she was on it.

Simpson, 47, explained that she used Ozempic for the month of December to “kickstart” her weight loss journey but stopped shortly after starting because she felt “lethargic.”

Soon after, she went under the knife to get liposuction on her arms as well as a breast reduction.

“Just the surgery alone was just, I felt like it was just a huge difference in my overall look just to have the thinner arms and just the smaller chest,” she said on “Jeff Lewis Live” in June.

The Bravolebrity added that she “was so happy with the surgery, and I have so much muscle underneath that when he did the liposuction, my arms were just jacked.”

In addition to the surgeries, Simpson emphasized that she’s prioritized eating healthier and even gives health tips to her Instagram followers every now and then.

Simpson joins a slew of other Bravolebrities who have copped to using Ozempic including Dolores Catania, Lauren Manzo, Tracy Tutor and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.

Meanwhile, Judge now fits into the club of celebrities who have vehemently denied taking the diabetes drug – members include Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais and Gina Kirschenheiter.
