Vanessa Williams, best known for being the first African American Miss America, has made a candid revelation about her dramatic body transformation.

On Monday, January 12, the 62-year-old actress appeared on the cover of Hello! Magazine, where she revealed that she’s been taking the GLP-1 drug Mounjaro for the past two years after struggling with menopause-related weight gain.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, tirzepatide, the biological name for Mounjara, treats type 2 diabetes by lowering sugar levels.

The medication also helps in weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing digestion.

"It’s a game‑changer," Williams told the outlet. "When I turned 60, I was like: 'I want to be here for a long time, and I want to look my best. So what am I going to do?’"

"My 50s were hard. I started perimenopause in my late forties but suddenly, at 51, it’s crazy how your body changes," she continued. "You feel out of control because you’re working out the same way, eating the same, and your body is not reacting the way it used to."

Additionally, the Ugly Betty actress admitted that she is also undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and recently begun NAD+ injections.

"Science is amazing," she concluded. "I'm like: 'What's next? Bring it on!'"

It is worth noting that aside from Vanessa Willaims, other celebrities, including Meghan Trainor, Sunny Hostin, and Rosie O’Donnell, have also opened up about using Mounjaro.
