Also, her official statement: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvevdf9OTse Nice staunch denial of accusations, would've been nicer with a ukulele playing, though. Anyway, this is now boiled down to a she-said-they-said ordeal. Whichever side you believe, you be the judge (or more likely, judge be the judge, maybe at some point.) That’s a terrible cookie cutter statement put together by a lawyer. Also her tag is “lizzobeeating”? I admit I’m not a huge Lizzo fan and maybe that’s some inside joke, but lacking in self awareness. Congrats on bei mg comfortable in your body but that seems about as wrong as an alcoholic having a tag “mikeybedrinking”

the only good heroes to have are fictional heroes. Steven Tyler, who has some problems in his life, once said something like, "When you're a kid, your hero is Santa Claus. You grow up and get real life heros, then you learn those people have flaws, so I'm back to Santa Claus" To be fair if Steven Tyler was Santa Claus he'd find an underage girl to "adopt" and marry again as a gift forhimself.

Yeah, bodyshaming is still a serious issue, even with the steps we made to have other prejudices be truly taboo now. Rejecting people, especially women, for their size is part of why the entertainment industry is as it is now...very samey. People like Aretha and Marie Dressler would be kicked out of Hollywood before they started now.
And don't get me started on how the shaming leads to emotional hurt, even physical to the point of death.

It depends how far one goes with "body positivity". If it leads to enabling of unhealthiness or glorification of obesity or being too thin, then it can be extremely dangerous. One can be honest about that without body "shaming" in an insulting way.

It's sad, but I'm glad to be seeing people catch shit and get semi canceled in real time, as opposed to after their dead or at least their heyday.
I have my suspicions about a lot of people and I keep an eye to the news just to see what happens.
I never got into Lizzo, but on the surface she seemed full of herself and that annoyed me.
