Lately, Andy, 54, has been giving kudos to women of Bravo's Real Housewives franchise for shedding pounds as well as asking if their weight loss was courtesy of Ozempic.

The late-night host seemingly praising his guests for achieving their pound drop through Ozempic hasn't sat well with fans, according to Page Six.

During today's episode of Radio Andy, the TV personality addressed on-air a DM that he got from a fan regarding WWHL.

The DM requested him to quit lauding guests for appearing slender and asking them if the medication produced their petite figures on the television show, per the news outlet.

Andy's message read: "Tonight was the third ‘Watch What Happens Live’ guest who I’ve heard you praise for losing weight and inquiring about Ozempic.”

Instead of getting on the defense, he owned up to his problematic behavior.

Andy introspectively responded to the fan: "Well, you know what? This woman – she’s right.”

He also added that it was a "slippery slope" to talk about the new controversial pound shed method Ozempic.

Andy's backlash began brewing after he reacted positively to Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jennifer Fessler, 54, admitting to losing fat with Ozempic while on WWHL late last month.

Since then, Jennifer's co-star Dolores Cantania, 52, has recently come out about her Ozempic usage also, stirring up more controversy for the host.

DOLORES DROPS WEIGHT

Last night, Dolores took to her Instagram profile to share a photo of her slimmed-down figure.

She wore a matching outfit of a Versace crop top and leggings in black and yellow, with her light brunette hair styled in waves.

Dolores smiled brightly, looking thinner than ever, and captioned her post: "What did everyone think of tonight’s show? Here’s an unfiltered version. Had so much fun in the @bravotv clubhouse with @bravoandy."

"Hair extensions and hairstyled @marissastissi.hair
Makeup @georgemiguelarnone."

The Bravo star joined Andy for WWHL on Tuesday night also, where she admitted she has been using semaglutide for weight loss "for six weeks."

The reality personality also claimed that she's not the only one using the antidiabetic medication on the RHONJ.

“I wasn’t going to come to the reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon,” she explained.

When asked if she has experienced any side effects from Ozempic, Dolores replied: “Just not hungry.”

JEN'S NEW LOOK

Jennifer got candid with Andy about all her latest plastic surgery work during her appearance on the late-night show in late March.

The reality star revealed to the talk show host that she went under the knife to get her face restructured.

Jennifer's admission came after Andy inquired about her new appearance.

"I got a glow-up!" Jennifer exclaimed to Andy on WWHL.

"What am I on? Well I did have a facelift. I did. Dr. Sam Rizk baby, he's the best. And a nose job!"

She continued: "Yeah, I don't play, I don't play. And I did lose a lot of weight.

"I took peptides and I don't know if you've heard of medications associated with that that help people lose weight."

Andy then proceeded to ask Jennifer if she used the antidiabetic medication "Ozempic" to achieve her weight loss goals.

Ozempic has become popular among people wanting to shed pounds since the product does cause weight loss.

Appearing to give confirmation, Jennifer responded: "You said it, I didn't. But … whatever works, here I am."

ANDY'S ANTICS

Fans on Twitter recently dragged Andy for how he cavalierly addresses those who boast about Ozempic in addition to the bothered fan in his DMs.

“Dolores just admitted to using Ozempic for weight loss on #WWHL like it was no big deal… Then Andy & her joked that she wasn’t the only housewife doing it… WTF is going on at Bravo?!?! ,” one fan tweeted.

“How about we stop praising Bravolebrities for using Ozempic to lose a little weight (which in turn created supply shortages and prevented non-celebrities who really needed the medication),” someone else noted.

“Don’t even wanna watch #rhnoj anymore after what dolores said on @BravoWWHL ab[out] ozempic ESPECIALLY when andy said half the cast was on it too it’s not f–king funny it’s gross,” a third person raged.
