Rosie O’Donnell Left ‘Shocked’ After Dramatic Weight Loss

Rosie O’Donnell is still in disbelief over her dramatic weight loss — and a recent shopping trip left her even more stunned.

The 63-year-old comedian and former co-host of The View shared on Instagram Tuesday, Aug. 12, that she was floored to discover she’d dropped a clothing size while picking out a cozy outfit for a marathon 22-hour flight to Australia.

“Ok, so [I] went shopping to buy a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22-hour flight to Australia,” O’Donnell wrote in the caption, alongside a photo of herself in a sleek black top and pants inside a dressing room. “[I] was undecided as I can’t see myself in this new smaller body. [My friends] took this photo of me in the dressing room — I am shocked I’m a 12 — #mounjaro is a life saver 🥹❤️🇮🇪.”

O’Donnell has been candid about her weight loss journey, revealing last year that she started taking Mounjaro, an FDA-approved diabetes medication that also aids in weight loss. In March, she told fans she’d slimmed down even more after moving to Ireland with her 12-year-old child, Clay — in part because she no longer had a private chef and was cooking all her own meals.

“I’m one of those people who always had a weight issue and now that I’m a size large — instead of an XL or XXL — I find it shocking,” she said.

The comedian recently debuted her slimmer figure at the London premiere of Burlesque: The Musical in July, rocking a graffiti-print gray blazer and black pants over a black tee, paired with boots and her signature glasses.
