The problem with celebrities is that they're people. Some are good and some are evil.
Those who are good and are given influence and power will use them for good. They also tend to be modest and humble so they aren't always in your face.
And those that that are not... well...

I am all for Lizzo getting criticism for this kind of shit, but people lighting up like it's Christmas morning about it are more than a little f***ing creepy. Very much so. Some of you are coming off rather badly in this thread alone, to be quite frank.

Between those dancing on her grave and those defending her to the death, the discourse around this is chalk full of bad faith arguing.

Eh, having seen only the BBC brief report on it on the lunch time news, it sounds like some twisty money grabbing.
Guess we'll see. Im not that interested either way, but seen I was here and saw the thread after literally just seeing it in the news, may as well comment.

I'll admit I haven't read anything but had a coworker say something that sounded a lot like "Lizzo forced people to eat bananas out of hookers" and I kinda decided I didn't want to know more.
Power does weird shit to a lot of people.

At the club, Lizzo allegedly “began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas,”
So it wasn't all bad

The only thing that annoys me is the supposed body shaming since she was so outspoken over people having negative thoughts about hers. I think that's hypocritical, but not surprising given her profession. Other than that.... People are people, some are good and some are bad.... most are in between.

The other stuff is more vile. But hypothetically if nothing else is true except the body shaming stuff, her credibility and her brand is still shot to hell.

Which is a shame because it seems that we're still on the lookout for a really strong body positivity role model. Some end up being disappointments, or not totally about the movement. (I will go easy on PSW who, gasp!, lost weight, cause often that's to help their well-being...)

Look I couldn't name one Lizzo song, so don't take me as some kind of Stan, but 'Accusation = Automatic Guilt' is a thing I have a real problem with.

Yeah, there's no reason to ever look up to celebrities, no matter how "nice" they seem. the only good heroes to have are fictional heroes. For some reason my mind went immediately went to Reed Richards being a source of dinkery in Marvel comics for the past 30 years or so.

I have no idea what a Lizzo is but that banana thing is so off the wall it has to be true.

Eh it's a tricky argument in general but the main accusations in this case are very public with many witnesses and from three people. It would be very easy to refute if completely untrue. If that's enough to be guilty in the lawsuit is a different question.
