In an episode titled “The End of Obesity,” singer Lizzo, who constantly supports the “body positive” movement encouraging self-love and self-care, was mentioned in “South Park,” involving the medication Ozempic.
Therefore, the singer talked about the episode in a video posted on TikTok, in duet form. She recorded her reaction while watching the excerpt where the character Sharon Marsh walks in the park with Sheila Broflovski, babbling about how “awesome” the “new medications” prescribed to her were.
In a sarcastic and ironic tone, Marsh claims she has already felt “so embarrassed” about herself for not having the “willpower” to work out and eat less to lose weight.
She then explains that her doctor wouldn’t prescribe Ozempic or Mounjaro because her insurance wouldn’t cover them, as she doesn’t have type II diabetes.
Until the character declares, “I’ve controlled all my desires to be thinner with Lizzo,” and immediately a commercial for a “once-weekly diet suppressant” appears, praised for having “reduced standards and expectations” regarding weight.
To Lizzo’s surprise, the ad claims that “70% of patients taking Lizzo no longer care about their weight.”
The tone of the tasteless jokes in the episode further worsens the situation, and thus, referring to the creators of “South Park,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the singer’s reaction is a heartfelt confession: “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a damn to a point where these guys in Colorado know who the hell I am and put it in their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
She continued: “I’m really that bitch and I’m gonna show you how to not give a damn, and I’m gonna keep showing you how to not give a damn.”
