8 Hollywood Heavyweights Who Couldn'T Stand Their 'South Park' Parodies!

Hollywood's Hottest Feuds with 'South Park'

Yo, LA fam, let’s talk about a show that’s been serving up spicy satire since ’97 right here in the heart of entertainment country. 'South Park' has been a cultural juggernaut, roasting everyone from politicians to pop stars with that no-holds-barred vibe. But while getting cartoon-ified on this Comedy Central staple is a badge of honor for some, others in Hollywood’s elite are straight-up salty about their animated alter egos.

Over the years, a slew of A-listers have been sketched into wild storylines, and let’s just say, not everyone’s down for the laugh. From red carpet royalty to music moguls, these stars have thrown some serious shade at their 'South Park' portrayals. Buckle up as we cruise through the 8 celebs who couldn’t handle the heat of this animated roast!

Nick Jonas: Purity Ring Roast

Back in 2009, the Jonas Brothers got the 'South Park' treatment in an episode called 'The Ring,' where the show took jabs at those iconic purity rings they rocked. While Joe Jonas recently spilled that he’s all about the parody now, Nick wasn’t vibin’ with it at first. Living that teen idol life in real-time made the humor hit too close to home for the young star.

During a Reddit AMA, Nick admitted he initially found it unfunny, saying it was tough to deal with while navigating fame as a kid. But, with time - and once those purity rings were history - he came around, even rewatching the ep for a chuckle. Talk about growing into that Hollywood thick skin!

Sarah Jessica Parker: Not a Fan of the Witchy Vibes

Sarah Jessica Parker, our fave NYC fashionista, got a harsh sketch in a Season 14 ep where she was mocked as a 'transvestite donkey witch.' Yikes, talk about a savage burn! The episode even had characters plotting to off her, and SJP was not here for it, calling the whole thing 'distasteful.'

She told Stylist that while she’s cool with professional critiques, personal attacks are a no-go. SJP’s all about keeping it classy, saying that mean-spirited jabs - especially among women - are just bad for the soul. You tell ‘em, Carrie Bradshaw, straight from the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Barbra Streisand: Long-Term Beef

Barbra Streisand’s been throwing shade at 'South Park' since Season 1 when they painted her in a less-than-flattering light. This SoCal legend didn’t hold back, kicking off a years-long feud with the creators after reading a harsh take on her in Time magazine. Babs wasn’t just annoyed - she was worried about the cultural impact.

Back in ’98, she told Mirabella that while she’s all for satire, she questioned if shows like 'South Park' fuel negativity, especially for kids. She feared young girls might see successful women as selfish or greedy because of these portrayals. That’s some serious food for thought from a Hollywood icon!

'I’m all for a good laugh, but when satire crosses into cynicism, especially for impressionable minds, it’s a problem,' Barbra Streisand reportedly mused on the impact of harsh parodies.

Kanye West: Ego Check with a Side of Humor

Kanye West got the 'South Park' roast in 2009 with a Season 13 ep that went hard on his ego and even his sexual identity, ending with his character’s dramatic death. Ye had mixed feels, spilling his thoughts in a lengthy blog post that screamed classic Kanye energy. He admitted it stung but also saw the humor in it.

'South Park murdered me last night, and it’s pretty funny,' he wrote, adding that he’s been working on his ego. He even gave a nod to the writers, guessing they’re probably chill IRL. That’s some self-awareness with a side of Hollywood drama!

Tom Cruise: Closetgate Controversy

Tom Cruise’s 'South Park' saga is pure Tinseltown tea. In the 2005 ep 'Trapped in the Closet,' the show hinted at Tom being gay and took shots at Scientology, stirring up major buzz. Rumor has it, Tom hated it so much he allegedly got the ep pulled from rebroadcast - a move dubbed 'Closetgate.'

Word on the street is that Tom told Paramount (a Comedy Central sibling) he wouldn’t promo 'Mission: Impossible 3' if it aired again. When pressed on ABC’s Primetime, he dodged it, saying he’s too busy with fam and films to care what folks are saying. Classic Cruise, keeping it cool under pressure!

Jennifer Lopez: Taco-Flavored Drama

Jennifer Lopez got animated in a 2003 'South Park' ep where Cartman replaces her with a singing puppet - who then steals Ben Affleck. Talk about a plot twist straight outta a Hollywood rom-com! JLo never publicly commented, but creator Trey Parker spilled some behind-the-scenes tea.

According to Trey on the Season 7 DVD commentary, he heard through set gossip that JLo was pissed, especially about the 'Taco-Flavored Kisses' song. Apparently, crew members on her movie set teased her with taco refs, and she reportedly fired people over it. That’s some serious Malibu-style drama!

Terri Irwin: Too Soon for Tragedy Jokes

Terri Irwin was heartbroken when 'South Park' mocked her late husband, Steve Irwin, in a 2006 ep, just months after his tragic passing. The episode showed Steve at a hell party with a stingray barb in his chest - a brutal jab at his cause of death. Terri wasn’t laughing.

A family friend shared that Terri felt it was cruel, worrying her kids, Bindi and Bob, would see it and break down. They noted Steve had a great sense of humor, but this crossed a line too soon. It’s a raw reminder of how satire can cut deep, even in the glitzy world of LA fame.

Mama June Shannon: Not Her Kind of Show

Mama June Shannon and her daughter Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson got the 'South Park' treatment in 2006, with a storyline where Alana needs a pig heart transplant due to an unhealthy diet. June wasn’t thrilled, calling the portrayal 'kind of trashy.' She made it clear this wasn’t her scene.

She told TMZ she didn’t take personal offense despite her size being highlighted, but still, it’s not a show she’d ever wanna be part of. That’s a hard pass from Mama June, keeping it real with that down-to-earth vibe even under the Hollywood spotlight.
