Lizzo has two words for the fat shamers out there: move on. The 32-year-old singer used her impressive social media platform once again to drive home the empowering message that all body types are beautiful, calling out any judgmental people out there in the process. Because sometimes the “Truth Hurts.”On June 9 the Grammy winner shared an inspiring workout video montage on TikTok in response to all of the body shamers out there. “If you’re not a fat shamer… keep scrolling… ok now that all the fat shamers are here,” she captioned the video, in which she’s riding an exercise bike, doing jump squats outside and skipping rope in between shots of her in bathing suits and lingerie.
“Hey, so I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years. And it may come as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type — I’m working out to have my ideal body type,” she says in a voiceover. “And you know what type that is? None of your f---ing business, because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job and I stay on my job.”[video_embed id='5263801831001']RELATED: Amy Schumer Too 'Blessed to be Stressed' About Fat Shaming[/video_embed]Lizzo then goes on to remind people that sometimes all of that judgement stems from deep, personal flaws, and that maybe it’s better to work on yourself before calling someone else out. “So the next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald’s or workout or not workout, how about you look at your own f---ing self and worry about your own goddamned damn body,” she added.“Because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside. Health is also what happens on the inside, and a lot of y’all need to do a f---ing cleanse for your insides. Namaste, have a great day.”The singer didn’t reveal what provoked her to share the video, which has been seen more than a million times on the social media platform. But Lizzo also felt the need to speak out in response to body shamers on June 5 after she realized many people were putting her names in the comments of TikTok videos featuring larger women."Yo, so every time there is a big girl on this app, I find that people always put my name in the comments. And to the people who be putting my name in the comments, thank you,” she told the camera, coming in close to clap twice. “Because you know what? If every time you see a big girl on this app, loving on herself and putting herself out there and being confident and loving her body, you think of me? Or you think she looks like me? Bitch, that is a what? Compli-MENT."
The “Hurts Like Hell” crooner then added that the extra attention means she’s doing her job as a body positive advocate. “That means that I'm out here doing what I'm supposed to be doing,” she added. “Letting you bitches know that next time you try to make fun of a woman for her body or her size, that we're out here and we don't give a f--- and we’re confident. We're bad bitches and we're cover stars and, yeah, we get the motherf---in' views, the likes, and the mother---in clicks ‘cause we it!" she exclaimed. "So thanks! And to all the big girls, I see you.”As the artist continues to spread body positivity on TikTok she’s also been using that platform and her other social media accounts to participate in the Black Lives Matter movement. Lizzo kicked off her career in Minnesota, where George Floyd was killed on May 25 by police officers during an arrest, and has been speaking frankly to fans in the weeks since, encouraging donations and amplifying important voices.“Last night was one of the most upsetting and challenging nights. Tensions are high and there is a lot of injustice happening. There’s not much you can say to make things better. There’s a lot you can say to make things worse,”
she shared on May 29. “So I am going to say this. It is not your job or anyone’s job to educate people on racism. Google is available, there are books available. So don’t waste your time. If they aren’t believing what you’re saying at this point, they don’t want to believe it. Minneapolis is as fed up as they are resilient. I want to say thank you to all the black women I have seen, always, time and time again, take up leadership. And to all of the white [allies], to the peaceful organization in Minneapolis, thank you. We see you. Even if the media chooses not to cover you, we see you. Thank you for standing up for black lives.”[video_embed id='5526792112001']THROWBACK: Rihanna Responds to Fat Shamers After Buying Gas Station Snacks[/video_embed]
