Lizzo set social media ablaze after revealing her Halloween costume. The Grammy-Award-winner dressed up as Ozempic, a weight loss medication meant to help people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Many celebrities have been accused of using the drug solely for its weight loss benefits, without having an official medical diagnosis. Earlier this year, South Park addressed the drug’s growing popularity among celebrities and referenced the singer. However, it seems Lizzo had the last laugh.
The “Special” star shared her outfit with fans via Instagram. “Ok Halloween… you can start now,” she captioned the post. The comment section seemingly applauded Lizzo’s ability to laugh at herself. She would go on to share several posts rocking the costume, including a video of her dancing with someone wearing an Eric Cartman costume.
South Park References Lizzo And Ozempic
In May, South Park released an episode named “The End of Obesity,” where the character Eric Cartman considers using Ozempic. However, due to his lack of insurance, he cannot afford the medication. On the other hand, the physician offers him a different alternative: 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,” the doctor says.
It wasn’t long after the episode’s premiere that Lizzo quickly caught wind of it and offered her opinion of the joke. She claims the mention only proves that she’s “really that b*tch” and even the creators of the show have noticed. “That’s crazy. I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b*tch,” she says in a video posted to TikTok. “I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f*ck to the point where these men in Colorado know who the f*ck I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years.”
