Luisa Zissman has sparked outrage after claiming that people who eat at McDonald's are 'lazy, unhealthy and a sloth'. The 39-year-old, who rose to fame on The Apprentice in 2013, made the comments on the latest episode of the LuAnna podcast, which she co-hosts with Anna Williamson.
In a snippet shared on social media from the 'I said what I said' segment, the mother-of-three ranted: 'I think if you eat McDonald's and fast food, that means you're lazy. I do. I just feel you're lazy and unhealthy, and you're a sloth. That is what I think.'
Backlash Over 'Judgemental' Remarks
As Celebs Go Dating presenter Anna Williamson laughed in shock, Zissman continued, branding it a 'gross' meal. 'I think badly about people that eat McDonald's, especially McDonald's breakfast,' she said. 'It's just gross, it grosses me out.'
Williamson attempted to reason with her, saying: 'Sometimes though Lu, a little sausage McMuffin in the morning hits the spot.' Zissman, who is mother to Dixie, Indigo and Clementine, responded: 'It doesn't hit the spot, it's rank. It can't hit the spot, that cannot fuel you effectively for your day ahead.' Williamson quickly backed down, adding: 'No, you're right with that.'
Fans React on Social Media
Fans disagreed with the Celebrity Big Brother star and flocked to the comments of the TikTok clip to share their views. One user wrote: 'It's so easy when you're talking from a place of privilege….' Another quipped: 'Guess I'm a happy little sloth then.'
'Just a teeny bit judgemental,' a follower agreed. 'Ever considered people might just like the taste!' A TikTok user said: 'I am a sloth x x happily x ps I can confirm it has hit the spot so many times x.' Another fan penned: 'Love me a McDonald's and couldn't give a toss if that makes me lazy.'
One commenter added: 'I love a McDonald's breakfast…especially on the way to work. Fills me up until my evening meal. Disclaimer I am lazy and my life goal is to be a sloth.'
Podcast Co-Host Responds
Anna Williamson made light of the discussion and slid into the Instagram comments to add: '[nods along while eating a cheeky double sausage & egg McMuffin].'
