Point in case; Lizzo is unhealthy. That is not to say she needs to be a thin anorexic-type either. It does not take a doctor to know that she is headed down the path of many people in America of obesity-related complications like diabetes. Ms Michaels might one of few brave enough to to point that out a so-called sensitive subject. The real misguidance here celebrating Lizzo's unhealthy choices that have led her to obesity. There is nothing to celebrate about obesity - seriously! We need more people like Jillian who just say it like it is. I am sure Lizzo is a great person; she is definitely talented; but she would be doing herself and the rest of us who love her music a favor by taking care of herself. She may be a model to young girls in other ways; let's not condone elevating her body to celebratory status. That is definitely the wrong message in a country that is riddled with obesity. This is not body-shaming; its just the truth.

Jillian Michaels is a health and fitness expert...wtf did you expect her to say??? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♀️

Lizzo was NOT fat shamed by Jillian Michaels, to me people are looking at the wrong person, the journalist is the culprit here. She set up Jillian and she fell for it. Why of all people you bring up Lizzo to a person who promotes health other than for ratings. Then, her less than smart tweet, well, idiotic tweet after, saying I was going to defend Lizzo's honor but... B- please, you got the ratings you were hoping for. As an obese woman, I know the complications that come with it. #1 knee pain, and that is just one, sucks too.

Why is she commenting at all? Unless Lizzo asked for her opinion then she should just keep her mouth shut. Who cares what anyone thinks about her weight? Her job is to entertain us and she does a good job with that. If you don't like her just don't watch or listen to her. It's just that simple.

Ask yourself, who would you go for health and fitness advice, if you had a choice between Jillian Michaels or Lizzo.

I really don't care, to each their own. Gonna go eat pizza peace ✌

Doesn’t she spend most of her time obsessing over calories and how much exercise she got that day? That’s just as unhealthy if she views it that way, sorry not sorry.
