Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghihas revealed she is taking a weekly shot for weight loss.
“Unfortunately, because of my health, I had to get a lot of steroids injections last year, which caused me to really pack on some weight,” Gharachedaghi, 41, said in the video. “I’ve been having a very, very, very hard time getting rid of that weight.”
“I did what all the people are doing, and lying about. I’m on the weight-loss shots, honey, okay?” she said. “I’m just not gonna lie about it, because I always keep it real about what is fake.”

Gharachedaghi shared that she was 137 lbs. before using the drug — which targets areas of the brain toimpact satiety, making people feel full faster— and is down to 126 lbs. as of Feb. 26.
“I have never, ever in my life been over 121-22 lbs. other than being pregnant, so that may not seem like a lot to some people, but for me, it really is,” she said.
In the video, theBravostar walked viewers through the process of injecting the drug into her stomach, sharing that she’s on a dosage of “20 units,” which is double what she began using for the first two weeks.
While sharing her own success with a weight loss drug, she also called out other people in the spotlight who she believes are alsousing the drug for weight loss— and lying about it.
“If you see people out there who just got skinny so fast all of a sudden and claim they got ‘healthy’ for the first time in their lives, or that they got sober from alcohol that was causing them to just gain so much weight — which it does, which is why I don’t wanna drink anymore — but most likely, they’re just doing the shots,” Gharachedaghi said.
She concluded, “And it’s not a big deal. It’s really not. We know who you are. We see how skinny y’all are getting. It’s not rocket science.”
