In the latest South Park episode, titled "The End of Obesity", Lizzo found herself as the subject of parody. The episode poked fun at the use of weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic, by celebrities. In one particular scene, Eric Cartman visits his doctor in hopes of obtaining the expensive drug, but instead receives a prescription for "Lizzo". The doctor explains that Lizzo is a talented singer who promotes body positivity and self-love, and prescribes listening to her music and watching her videos multiple times a day.
After the episode aired, Lizzo took to her social media to share her reaction. She jokingly expressed her fear of being referenced on South Park and proceeded to watch the episode for the first time. As the fake ad for the Lizzo drug played, her face dropped in disbelief as it claimed to make users feel good about their weight and cost less than Ozempic. However, it also came with the side effect of constipation.
Despite the intended use of weight loss drugs for managing blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes, they have been increasingly used by celebrities for weight loss. Some famous names, including Sharon Osbourne, Rebel Wilson, Amy Schumer, and Oprah Winfrey, have openly admitted to using these drugs. Last month, Barbra Streisand faced criticism for publicly asking Melissa McCarthy if she had taken Ozempic, but later clarified that she was just trying to give a compliment.
In the end, Lizzo couldn't help but feel proud of herself for being referenced on the long-running show. She stated, "I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f***, to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*** I am and put it on their cartoon that has been around for 25 years." She continues to inspire others to embrace body positivity and not care about societal expectations.
The South Park episode may have parodied the use of weight loss drugs, but it also shed light on the societal pressure to conform to certain beauty standards. The Lizzo drug, instead of helping characters lose weight, allowed them to embrace their bodies and not worry about their weight. Lizzo's response to the episode only further proves her message of self-love and not giving a f*** about what others think.
Overall, Lizzo's response to the South Park episode was filled with humor and pride. It's clear that she will continue to advocate for body positivity and inspire others to love themselves just the way they are. The episode may have been a parody, but it also sparked important conversations about societal beauty standards and the pressure to conform. In the end, Lizzo showed that she truly is "that b****" who will keep spreading her message of self-love.
