Lizzo is reacting to South Park’s reference to her in their special episode about weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro.

“Guys, my worst fear has been actualized. I’ve been referenced in a South Park episode. I’m so scared,” she said in a video posted on Instagram.
In the episode, Cartman is made aware of a weight loss drug but finds out that his insurance would not cover the medication, and his mother couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket. However, the doctor suggests a new medication called Lizzo.
“FDA-approved Lizzo makes you feel good about your weight, and it costs 90% less than Ozempic. … In case studies, 70% of patients on Lizzo no longer cared how much they weighed,” the voiceover in the fake commercial for the drug said on the show. “Lizzo helps you eat everything you want and keep physical activity to a minimum.”
Following the parody, Lizzo said, “That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that bitch. 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’s been around for 25 years. I’m really that bitch and I show you how to not give a f*** and I’ll keep showing you how to not give a f***.”
Watch Lizzo’s full reaction in the video below.
