We know that’s right! Lizzo continues to embrace the ’South Park’ Ozempic joke as she dresses up as the phony weight loss drug ‘Lizzo’ from the episode for Halloween this year.
Before this year’s Halloween, earlier this May, the animated comedy series ‘South Park’ poked fun at Lizzo and used her name for a fake, off-brand version of the weight loss drug Ozempic.
On May 24, social media went wild after ‘South Park’ dropped a special, entitled ‘The End of Obesity,’ which brutally targeted Lizzo and her weight. The episode began with the lead character “Eric Cartman” in his doctor’s office, trying to get the super popular weight loss drug Ozempic to shed some pounds.

Being that he couldn’t afford the drug and his insurance wouldn’t cover it, his doctor told him, “I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo. She’s a really good singer who talks about body positivity, and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”
Now, the animated comedy series has always been provocative and full of shock value, taking digs at celebrities, public figures, and more. However, the dig at Lizzo came on the heels of a very tough year for the “Juice” singer/rapper — who was sued by three former dancers last year for allegedly creating a hostile work environment via fat-shaming, sexual harassment, and religious and racial discrimination.
Reacting to the ’South Park’ Ozempic joke at the time, Lizzo took it on the chin and didn’t let it affect her. She instead embraced it and did a duet post with the clip on social media. After her name was dropped in the episode, her jaw initially dropped. But by the end of the clip, Lizzo ultimately said that the recognition on the show obviously meant she was “that b*tch.”
Last month, Lizzo even had to address claims that she was taking Ozempic or another hard drug as she had shocked everyone with her latest weight loss transformation. She of course denied the rumors and said her transformation was due to eating well and exercising. While using a TikTok sound Lizzo stared at the camera smiling and placed words on the screen that read, “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”
A little over a month later, Lizzo continues to make light of the Ozempic rumors and embrace the ‘South Park’ joke as she dresses as a human-sized box of the phony weight loss drug from the animated comedy series for this year’s Halloween holiday season.
