A friend of mine works out regularly but can't shift the pounds and doesn't eat much.
Metabolism can be a fucker for some people.

I believe the claims. Call me cynical but these stars always end up selling their soul and doing these disgusting parties and hanging around with wrong people plus go on power trips. Not surprised in the least.
She's trying to deny it though.

Lizzo says 'I am not the villain' over sexual harassment allegations by former dance troupe members
Three of the star's former dancers have levelled a catalogue of complaints against the Truth Hurts singer, including the claim she pressured one of them into touching a nude performer at a club in Amsterdam's red light district.

These claims are absolutely shocking if true, especially considering her brand is all about empowerment women and being positive.
What I don't understand about situations like this, why did no one step in and challenge any of those behaviour? She must have had more staff than just a dance captain. Did they all just stand around watching these antics and think it was okay? Or were they scared that they would lose their jobs too?
I am interested to see if anything more comes out about this.

Her songs are catchy but apart from that not bothered. The thing that annoys me is.....people cause an uproar when skinny women walk the catwalk but its fine for obese women to be onstage/tv/photoshoots even though they are just as unhealthy and are NOT body positive AT ALL!

Just to be very controversial for a min…
I used to overeat due to dopamine seeking from my undiagnosed adhd.
Prior to my diagnosis, I was so ashamed of and confused by my relationship with my body and food that I attended a 12 step program called Overeaters Anonymous.
In this group I met with the idea that fat adults are emotionally immature because they don’t give themselves healthy boundaries and they almost turn themselves into big spoilt brats who always get what they want.
In OA, a lot of character defects were uncovered by the members sincerely trying to release themselves from the miserable clutches of compulsive overeating.
When people healed their relationship with
food through the 12 step tools, they became a lot more outward focussed, more helpful and calm.
Although I found OA too controlling and culty in the end and left, it still resonates with me as a message so based on my acquired prejudice, I always kept Lizzo at an arm’s length.

maybe but if she is moving about so much and indulging less she would be shedding the pounds she is clearly not
all this body positive is a huge excuse because she is overweight and clearly does not want to or cant be bothered to lose weight her health will be effected by this and her heart will be under a huge strain and she is only young
no doubt in a few years she will lose the weight and tell us how unhappy she was being so big etc etc
Thought I'd make a thread after this news that's just came out, 3 of her former dancers have accused her of all sorts of terrible behaviour.

Lizzo accused by former dancers of sexual harassment and weight-shaming
One dancer claims she was bullied into touching a nude performer during an afterparty and that the body-positive singer made comments about another dancer's weight. Another said she was so fearful of losing her job, she soiled herself during a 12-hour rehearsal.

I've usually liked Lizzo, but even when I didn't know any of this stuff alleged, I thought that her persona all had to be about being sexy. She didn't seem to come up with any other way of being an empowered black woman (except when she played Madison's flute, that was cool). It's all about being scantily clad, being outrageous, saying that she's sexy to get a cheer from her fans.
I don't think any of that is bad per se, I just wish she valued herself for something else, and set an example to her young fans to value themselves for something else. There's nothing wrong with not being sexy! But I guess she wouldn't get much fame or money as a regular flutist. I think the accusations about the strip club fit in with her sexualised, outrageous persona. I'm not sure about the other stuff, but I err on the side of it being true, because those stories are so wild and specific, not like a generic "She was a diva and made us work too hard."

I must admit I never had much of a view on Lizzo, her songs had mostly passed me by, until she included an ableist slur in a lyric of one of her songs. She responded to the social media calling her out on it and changed the lyric and got a lot of praise for apologising and acting to change the lyric, but when you read her statement, she never actually apologises for its inclusion or the offence it caused to people. It was at that point I started to give her the side eye.

This scandal is a total MESS. More and more people who have worked with her are coming out to validate what the dancers are alleging and sharing their own stories. I'm not a big Lizzo fan (literally the only song I've heard by her is About Damn Time because it was everywhere last year) but I frequently heard about her being "bullied" on social media for her weight and having to come out to defend herself. There was always a lot of "body positivity" attached to her name so this looks really bad.

Hardest working PR team in the game. They keep up with every scandal and let her know about the ones that might tarnish her name.

Anyone watched the Lizzie doc on prime finding the dancers? 2 of them are in it. I’m not believing what I’ve read in the press until she responds to the claimants. Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame. Don’t think she could be cancelled, or anyone, just on an article. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? If there’s evidence and further witnesses at the court then I’m happy to stand corrected

This is impossible, weight gain is physics. Energy in, energy out.
