‘When you meet your absolute hero…and she loves your book!’ Rebel wrote in her caption, referring to her newly released, controversial memoir Rebel Rising.

Both Rebel and Oprah have faced criticism for their use of weight loss drugs in recent months.

Speaking in An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution, the 70-year-old fought back tears as she revealed how the drugs had meant she was no longer ‘constantly thinking about what the next meal is going to be’.

Oprah said ‘for 25 years, making fun of my weight was national sport’ and that over the years she had ‘lost some weight’ and ‘put back on some weight’ but since starting to take medication she had stopped ‘obsessing’ about food.

Along with messages of support online, some viewers slammed Oprah, accusing her of ‘promoting big pharma and pushing Ozempic’ and criticizing her for taking the drugs after spending nine years promoting Weight Watchers.

Oprah has visibly lost weight in recent months, having shed more than 18 kilos (40lbs) with the help of a weight loss drug.

Rumors that she was taking Ozempic started to circulate last year, until she admitted she had started taking an unnamed weight loss drug in December.

Likewise, Rebel admitted she has ‘experimented’ with the drug.

Rebel confessed this month that she used type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic to help her weight loss – but insists it was only after she did it on her own.

The Australian actress shed 36 kilos (80lbs) during her ‘year of health’ back in 2020, but says she did so without help from the trendy medication.

The 44-year-old said she ‘experimented’ with it briefly to maintain her weight loss after welcoming her 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 daughter via surrogate in November 2022.

‘I wish I had known about it in 2020. If I had known about it, I would have tried it, one hundred percent,’ she told The Diary Of A CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.

‘(It was) more for when I had lost like, 35 kilos, I was like, I can’t continue working out and having this level of focus. And I was very worried that the weight would come back on,’ she added.
