Furious fans demand refunds after ‘fraudulent’ influencer admits she secretly micro-dosed on Ozempic while selling diet plans

Health and wellness influencer Janelle Rohner is at the center of a controversy after admitting to taking Ozempic while selling weight loss plans.

Upset fans were vocal in the comment section of a YouTube video in which Rohner, 37, said she had taken a GLP-1, calling into question the credibility as a spokesperson.

Rohner in the clip described the different techniques she had attempted to maintain her figure, including keto, macro, workouts [and] lifestyle shifts.’

In the YouTube clip, Rohner said that the weight loss drug was not a major factor in maintaining her figure at the time.

Rohner explained, ‘Over the last year, I have decided to make some new choices in my health. I started working with a doctor, and we did decide to add a GLP-1 to my plan. GLP-1s are not magic, [and] they don’t change your lifestyle overnight. It’s just a tool to help; I still had to show up.’

Dailymail.com has reached out to Rohner for comment on this story.

Rohner, who has 5.2 million followers on TikTok, posted this before-and-after comparison to drive sales last fall – during the time she was using Ozempic 

Rohner – who has more than 5.2 million TikTok followers – had posted before-and-after comparison images to advertise her programs within the one-year timeframe she admitted to taking Ozempic. 

Rohner said that she also drank large amounts of water, kept track of the meals she consumed, and exercised regularly amid the timeframe she said she was microdosing Ozempic to aid in her weight loss efforts. 

The comment section of the YouTube page was full of people who said Rohner had been misleading in selling weight loss items while not disclosing that she had been using a weight loss aid herself.

‘Fact of the matter… Your program was cheaper than a monthly GLP1 so they tried your program,’ one user said. ‘You ripped them off all the while you were stealing their money to afford compounded GLP1 .. this is a clear cut fraud case.’

Another user said that the issue wasn’t Rohner using Ozempic, but rather that she was ‘selling a $200 course to people to help them lose weight when counting macros wasn’t even enough for her to lose all of the weight she wanted to.

The influencer opened up about Ozempic use in the clip, тιтled 'Let’s talk: Therapy, GLP1 & The Truth About My recent Weight Loss'

The content creator said she ‘still had to show up’ and work out after using the weight loss aid 

‘It’s that she is t’s called lying by omission by not disclosing she was pairing the meds with the diet. & this isn’t a hateful comment. It’s fact. “This course will literally change your life and the way you view food.” That’s a direct quote from the course page. It’s false advertisement if she needed a GLP1 as well.’

The user added that ‘all of her recent customers should be refunded at least partially because they were missing part of the equation if they weren’t also on a GLP1.’

Some people said they were disappointed by Rohner’s admission, while another said they unfollowed the content creator after the reveal.
