Kyle Richards’ daughter leaves fans aghast as she reveals hair loss after taking Hollywood weight-loss drug

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ daughter has left fans aghast after using the popular Hollywood weight loss medication Mounjaro.

Sophia Umansky, 25, whom Kyle shares with her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky, said she began losing hair three months after she started taking the drug.

Mounjaro, which like Ozempic is an injectable originally developed to treat diabetes, has been taken by celebrities ranging from Meghan Trainor to Whoopi Goldberg.

Although hair loss is not listed as a side effect of the drug, it can be a temporary result of hormonal changes or nutrient deficiencies that come with rapid weight loss.

‘I am very lucky that I have so much hair, because at the rate that I’ve been losing hair, I’m gonna be bald in about a week,’ she joked on TikTok.

‘I started Mounjaro about four months ago, and I would say like maybe for the past three weeks to a month, I’ve noticed a dramatic hair loss situation.’

Sophia indicated that ‘all throughout the day,’ if she tugs even gently at her hair, clumps of it will come out in her hands. 

She showed her fans footage of ‘everything I brush out of my hair before the shower and everything that comes out during the shower.’

The ‘nepo baby’ influencer theorized: ‘I don’t think it’s a direct result of the medication. I think it’s a direct result of rapid weight loss because of the medication, and not eating enough vitamins, protein, all that kind of stuff.’ 

She explained that when she began taking Mounjaro she ‘was just making sure I was eating enough’ food in general, and ‘wasn’t really thinking about like enough protein, enough vitamins, all that kind of stuff.’

Now, however, she has ‘really been putting an effort into eating more protein, taking more vitamins and all that kind of stuff,’ she shared.

Sophia also offered her fans a glimpse of some of the measures she has been taking to ‘not be bald,’ such as using shampoo and conditioner meant to treat hair thinning.

She ordered a jar of OMI hair growth peptides and has been ingesting four tablespoons of collagen every morning, plus Grüns vitamins for gut health.

Viewers leapt into the comments section with reactions like: ‘Why are you on Mounjaro? You are SUPER thin!’ and: ‘Why are you on this medication?’

‘This is wild. She was never over weight to begin with,’ observed another TikTok user, urging Sophia’s mother: ‘Kyle check in on your daughter.’

Another scolded Sophia: ‘You’re a young girl promoting anorexia essentially. You shouldn’t be doing this to your body. You don’t need it. You’re enough and pretty.’

However Sophia also had many defenders who praised her for her ‘honesty’ in discussing her Mounjaro use and hair problems.

‘People get mad for NOT being transparent and then attack you when you are transparent,’ noted one TikTok user. ‘I cannoooottttt with yall!!!!!’

‘Thanks for being honest about your journey!!’ gushed one TikTok user, as another sympathetically wrote: ‘Omg ugh thanks for sharing girl you got this.’
