Lizzo reacts to ‘South Park’ poking fun at her in Ozempic episode: ‘My worst fear has been actualized’
Lizzo has entered the chat.
The âAbout Damn Timeâ singer, 36, spoke out after âSouth Parkâ targeted her in a new Ozempic episode called âThe End of Obesity.â
“Guys, my worst fear has been actualized,” she said in a video posted to TikTok Saturday. “I’ve been referenced in a ‘South Park’ episode. I’m so scared.”

Lizzo â who has been an advocate for body positivity â then mirrored the episode on her screen to show viewers her reaction in a âblind duet.â
The clip featured sitcom character Sharon Marsh walking in the park with Sheila Broflovski, raving about how the ânew drugsâ she was prescribed were âpretty amazing.â
Marsh said she previously felt âso ashamedâ of herself for not having the âwillpowerâ to work out and eat less to shed pounds.
The fictional character then explained that her doctor wouldnât prescribe her Ozempic or Mounjaro as her insurance wouldnât cover it because she didnât have Type II Diabetes.

However, the medical professional said there was âa whole new obesity drugâ for people who couldnât âaffordâ the cost of the celebrity-loved medication.
âIâve controlled all my cravings to be thinner with Lizzo,â Marsh said, as Lizzoâs mouth dropped in shock.
The clip then rolled into a commercial for the advertised âonce-weekly diet suppressor,â which was raved to have âlowered standards and expectationsâ about weight.
The ad noted that âcase studiesâ cited that â70 percent of patients on Lizzo no longer care about how much they weigh.â

They also bashed the “Good As Hell” rapper, claiming the drug allows users to “eat everything” they want and “keep physical activity to a minimum.”
Lizzo’s eyes continued to widen as the commercial continued, “Stop listening to Lizzo if you experience suicidal thoughts. Serious side effects include pancreatitis, hypothermia [and] shitting out your ears.”
“That’s crazy,” she said after stopping the clip. “I just feel like, damn, ‘I’m really that bitch.”’

Referencing “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, she added, “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f–k to a point where these men in Colorado know who the f–k I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
She continued, âIâm really that bitch and Iâll show yâall how to not give a fâk and Iâm going to keep on showing you how to not give a fâk.â
Mimicking the commercial jingle, she signed off, “Oh, oh Lizzooo, bitch.”

While Lizzo has always embraced her body, she’s currently in the middle of a scathing lawsuit filed by a group of ex-dancers alleging that she fat-shamed and sexually harassed them.
In September 2023, the âTruth Hurtsâ singer claimed via her lawyers that the suit should be dismissed for several reasons.
She also spoke out on social media, referring to the allegations as “false” and saying she’d ânever criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.â
