Lizzo reveals how she really feels about that 'South Park' obesity episode
Warning: This article contains profanity.
Lizzo appeared to be left stunned after 鈥淪outh Park鈥 referenced the singer in an episode satirizing the increasing popularity of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro.
The 鈥淎bout Damn Time鈥 singer posted a live reaction video on Instagram and TikTok of her watching a scene from 鈥淪outh Park: The End of Obesity.鈥
In the scene, Sharon and Sheila are discussing the 鈥渁mazing鈥 new drugs that Sharon has been taking to manage her weight. But since her insurance only covers weight loss drugs for those with diabetes, Sharon reveals 鈥渢here鈥檚 a whole new obesity drug for those of us who can鈥檛 afford Ozempic and Mounjaro.鈥
Lizzo covered her mouth in shock as she watched Sharon say that she controls all her 鈥渃ravings to be thinner鈥 with a new drug named after the singer.
The scene then transitions into a fake commercial advertising 鈥淟izzo,鈥 a drug that 鈥渕akes you feel good about your weight, and it costs 90 per cent less than Ozempic.鈥
鈥淚n case studies, 70 per cent of patients on Lizzo no longer cared how much they weighed,鈥 the fake commercial鈥檚 narrator said.
鈥淟izzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical activity to a minimum鈥 Ask about the power of not giving a f**k, with Lizzo,鈥 the commercial added, along with a series of side effects.
In her reaction video, Lizzo said, 鈥渢hat鈥檚 crazy, I just feel like damn, I鈥檓 really that b***h.鈥
鈥淚 really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k, to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f**k I am, and put it on their cartoon that鈥檚 been around for 25 years,鈥 she added, referring to 鈥淪outh Park鈥 creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone who met at the University of Colorado Boulder and set the show in the state.
Lizzo has long advocated for body positivity and spoken out about the body shaming she faces on social media.
But three of her former dancers claimed in a lawsuit filed in August that they were subjected to a hostile work environment and harassment while they were members of the Grammy-winner鈥檚 dance team, with one plaintiff alleging that she had been questioned about her weight gain.
In a statement at the time, Lizzo denied the allegations and said, in part, 鈥淚 am not the villain that people in the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.鈥
鈥淎s an artist, I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because at the end of the day, I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans,鈥 Lizzo wrote.
