Kathy Bates was "in tears" fitting into an Armani gown for 2024 Emmys after 100-pound weight loss. She lost 80 pounds through diet and lifestyle changes and 20 pounds through Ozempic.

Kathy Bates says this past Emmy Awards red carpet event was extra meaningful to her. The Oscar winner, 76, recently spoke about her seven-year weight loss journey in an interview with People — and the emotions that came with it.

She set the record straight to People on rumors that Ozempic was the main reason behind her significant weight loss. Bates attributed the first 80 pounds to changes to her lifestyle and diet with the remaining balance to the drug itself.
