Explaining the pain she was experiencing, Macy said: "It's really hard to catch my breath. This sucks because I'm here all the way in Colombia and I really just want to give it my all, but I just feel awful, and I just want it to go away."
She continued: "This is not going well. I can't even walk very much without losing my breath."
After being checked over by the show's medics and security team, Macy said: "Last time I felt like this, I had to go to the hospital. I'm just tired."
After assessing Macy, the medic implied that her use of Ozempic was the cause behind her health issues. They said: "You are taking some medicine that can affect your pancreas. Your pancreas can't fight."

Tom Hanks' son Chet Hanks is also on the show, and he broke the news to the rest of the celebrities, telling them: "She went to the hospital. She hasn't been eating."
Fifth Harmony's Ally Brooke also placed the blame on Ozempic for Macy's health woes, saying: "I know why, it's the shot. That's what happens, that's literally what happened to my friends."

In last week's episode, Macy confided in The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak and Jonny Weir about her discomfort following a dose of Ozempic.
"Oh boy, my stomach hurts. I've just been really constipated," she said. "I took Ozempic. I can't go to the bathroom, and I was up all night."
Macy explained in a confessional that she had turned to the diabetes drug to help her lose weight before she embarked on a tour.

"So, I thought, okay, I'm not taking it off the right way, let me see if I can get one of these Ozempic."
She added: "I was actually trying to take it off [the weight] before the show because I didn't want to be super fat on TV, but here we are."
