AceShowbiz - Known for her unshakable self-love and resilience, Lizzo has shown she remains unbothered. After retired NFL player Antonio Brown joked about her alleged use of Ozempic, a drug primarily used for diabetes but gaining attention for its weight loss properties, Lizzo responded with grace and humor.
The incident began when Lizzo posted a heartfelt video, writing, "Sending LOVE to everyone in the WORLD," after her preferred Presidential candidate Kamala Harris lost in election. Brown retweeted the clip, quipping, "She hold the pen like she hold her Ozempic shot…."
In a classic Lizzo manner, the Grammy-winning artist hit back the next day with an Instagram post, captioning a series of vacation photos where she proudly flaunted her curves in revealing outfits, "Holding life like an Ozempic pen….[laughing face]."
This isn't the first time Lizzo has addressed speculations about her weight loss. In September, she countered similar allegations with a humorous post on social media, "When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit."
Her Halloween costume also reflected her playful approach. Lizzo dressed up as "LizzOzempic," referencing a "South Park" episode that humorously explored the idea of her message of body positivity as an alternative to weight-loss drugs.
Discussing her fitness journey candidly, Lizzo has been transparent about her struggles and triumphs. She encourages self-compassion, reassurance that it's okay to stumble while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. "I overate yesterday and im feeling really bad about it," she shared on TikTok in September, adding, "I'm trying to remind myself that my body needed that nourishment."
Despite the pressures and public scrutiny, Lizzo's dedication to self-love and confidence remains unwavering. Speaking at the Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, she eloquently said, "One inevitability we all have to face is that our bodies will change … it's a beautiful thing. My body is nobody's business, other than me, my doctor, my trainer and my man."
Lizzo's journey exemplifies the strength it takes to stay positive amidst criticism and the importance of owning one's narrative. Her witty comebacks and authenticity continue to resonate with fans and inspire many.
