Rosie O'Donnell weight‑loss and Mounjaro claims

Entities: The View · Elisabeth Hasselbeck · Mounjaro · Rosie O'Donnell

Overview

In late July 2026 O'Donnell recalled director Penny Marshall’s comment about losing 20 pounds during the filming of *A League of Their Own*, saying the remark stayed with her for decades and spurred her later health focus. She confirmed she began GLP‑1 medication Mounjaro in 2023 after a type‑2 diabetes diagnosis, and that the drug “saved my life,” helping her shed roughly 60 lb—about one to two pounds per month—over three years. O'Donnell voiced frustration with Mounjaro’s high cost and said she wishes she could appear in commercials to bring the price down, noting the medication also quieted her “food noise.” The rapid loss left excess facial skin, leading her to undergo a deep‑plane facelift that reportedly cost about $90,000. In the same interview she revisited her 1997 on‑air clash with former *The View* co‑host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, suggesting the segment may have been staged. She tied her own experience to her family’s long‑standing struggles with weight, food insecurity and the affordability of nutritious options.
