Lizzo Has Perfect Response To Kanye West’s ‘Unhealthy’ Weight Comment
- Thread starter jawnswoop
- Start date
YOU don't pick and choose and then hide your hands and cop pleas
These 2 dudes ENTIRE CAREERS are built on that sucker sh*t
Aries Spears was asked a question about her, I’m unsure why other choose to speak about her weight?
I don’t listen to or pay attention to anything kanye says or does so I don’t know why or how he spoke on her.
The problem with what she said is that each person she named were talked about for their weight, especially Big Pun. He died due to HEALTH complications due to his weight!!! Also, each one of these muthafuckas ain’t walking around butt ass nekkid every 5 seconds. She put herself out there to be talked about because she wanted that attention. It’s nothing wrong with that but you have to be prepared for what comes back.
I have to go back and watch that clip.
Aries?
If so the intervwe asked him what he thought of Lizzie and they she was an amazing artist.
Then Aries gave the same answer that most of us would’ve given with the exception of the shit emoji reference.
Beyonce had kids though, of course she gained weight. Same way Rihanna got big because she has a child. Bad comparison though with saying why another women weights more. Lizzo been like that when she came on the scene.
Must've didn't hear when they was making fun of Jada bald headed ass. Fat women ain't the only ones getting roasted..
I don't got no beef with lizzo or would talk about her weight.
I just don't like how people throw that bbw around so loosely.

Look, I get it. Lizzo is talented, but I don’t really fuck with her like that. There’s been plenty of fat talented artist over the years. People make comments about them as well, maybe not as much as her, but they got their fair share of hatred for being fat as well. I don’t know why people act like no other fat celeb has been talked about publicly
Lizzo is catching heat mainly because of the fact that she wants to be the image of proud fat black woman. Nothing wrong with wanting to be proud of what you are, but that comes with shit. People will be vocal about what they don’t like no matter the subject. It comes with the territory. If she didn’t want that type of attention then she needs to leave the spotlight.
Now, a lot of these cats speaking publicly are masking their lack of love for her as a health concern rather than just saying I’m not feeling that fat bitch being nekkid all the time. They can’t really say it like that because that would cause a big ass fucking issue. Lol! So they use her concern for health as a reason.
Understand this is a social media age in which everyone’s opinion will be heard loud and clear. It wasn’t always like that because we didn’t always have this much access to celebs and the voices of group think from social media. We have to put that into consideration as well.

Respect
EVERYONE made fun of Jada head bro
It ain't the same you know that.
Especially because of August red table will the slap
All I'm saying is she ain't start nothing dudes bending over backwards to attack her.
When they could just ignore
Attention is the new currency.
And the specific ones I mentioned should be the last ones talking.
Respect back you as well.
I've seen people in here talking about pinkiy being big as shit, but the majority of the BGOL dudes in here would smashed if she came to them.
Everybody gotta preference on who they like or don't like and a opinion.
Lizzo don't mess with nobody, maybe people find it annoying that embracing being obese isn't a good thing because of health reasons.
Kanye west made that comment and I felt like since people been talking shit about him then I expected him to get roasted for his comments about lizzo but it went the other way.
Everybody wants to talk, can't stop that, just gotta keep it moving.
At last, Jada deserved all the heat that she's gotten since she's made will Smith to look like a puppet with atting as attached controlling everything he does and fucking with him emotionally.
Even if what he said might be true, Kanye is a MAGA Republican who just got dumped. This is some red pill shit.
It's not like Kanye's in shape either.

Come to think of it, have you noticed that men who are in shape and care about their health almost never publicly fat shame?
You almost never hear Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terry Crews, or any professional athlete from the big 4 American leagues fat shame. If they do at least they're not calling out names.
Instead it's dudes who look like Tom Leykis, Donald Trump or Kanye West talking shit.

Fuck outta here feminist bullshit. A lot of people including me can't stand the bitch due to her abhorrent attention whoring and AGAIN THE BITCH DISPLAYED HER AWFUL BACKSIDE IN FRONT OF KIDS NBA GAME. Why am I the only that mentions this during her discussion
I swear that was the worst shit she did showing her ASS with kids around being at the game. It's facts that she be doing way too much for attention but people be thinking that they be coming at her for no reason..
Here's where she's full of shit. Those guys she named don't perform in mankinis and go to Laker games with their ass hanging out, and men don't big up them talking about how beautiful they are/were. Rick Ross takes pics with his belly all out... and I think when he gets clowned, nobody's jumping in to defend him talkin about how beautiful it is, lol. Biggie even had a line in Flava in ya ear "far from handsome".
Lizzo and her crowd want the world to look at her like she's Meagan Good. She's talented... why can't they just run with that?

That's what I'm saying, people pretend forget she did that shit. And also CACs and their women love obese mammy black women....cause they're non threatening
Bingo,, especially the NBA part
Yeah, your point sounds good on paper, but you'll never see any of your examples with a lizzo sized chic on their arm. Most of these pander bears, if given a choice, wouldn't openly fuck with a lizzo sized chic. Most men with means aren't even checking for Fat Chics.
You'll never see Brad Pitt walking around with a man on his arm, but that doesn't mean he's homophobic. However if he were to publicly shame somebody for being gay then that's different.
Same principle applies to fat women.
I know. I fucked that one up big time, bank VP, into everything I was into. But I was going through a divorce and my ex still had my heart and she manipulated that shit.You deserved that bitch God.
Greatest mistake of my life so far
cuz it wouldn't matter... the comments wouldn't stop in any case. Remember Gabby Sidibe (precious) she never carried it like Lizzo and remember how she got an easy ride on her looks when she first came out? Remember how NO ONE ever mentioned how big she was or talked about her looks?? Remember how accepted she was by the black community??
yeah
Not sure if you saw the clip that I was responding to, but it was her commentary that I was calling bullshit. She compared Lizzo and what people say about her weight/health to Fat Joe, Big Pun, Biggie, etc and what people say/said about their weight/health. Now firstly, Big Pun... I can absolutely fucking guarantee that people talked a whole lot about Big Pun's health. Forgot to bring that up in my first post. Shit, Pun was out of breath sitting down answering questions, so his health was a constant topic right up to the point where he died from a massive heart attack.
I'll put Pun up as the comparison to Gabby Sidibe, cause they are (were in his case) so massively overweight that they are/were in a different category than Joe, Ross, etc. When you're my 600 pound life fat, hell yeah, that's gonna be the first thing that people comment on.... I mean if you are expecting to live in a world where it's not, I feel for you. So her clip was even more bullshit than I said it was before.
Now you mention how the comments wouldn't stop, right? I can agree that her fatness would always draw comments.... because she's HUGE. People are gonna comment on one's physical appearance; it's human nature. People talked about Prince's height, Bruno Mar's height, Kevin Hart's height... fucking Danny Devito at 4'11".... his height is a constant topic whenever he's pictured with someone. Look at the youtube clips of Bruno Mars when he accepted the VMA from Taylor Swift and up on stage she's towering over him... half the comments were on his height. Comments based on appearance are gonna be there, and they're gonna be worse if you purposely wear stuff that makes you look like a caricature. Imagine if any of those guys regularly performed wearing clothes that accentuated their shortness and demanded that people stopped clowning them and see them the same way they see <enter 6 foot male celeb here>.
My problem with the Lizzo thing is that she, with the help of her fanbase, is trying to promote fat-sexy, and trying to push it down everybody's throats (see aforementioned Laker game incident). That's the issue with her and why the commentary is different. Same with Monique's past fat-sexy shit. Remember all the Octavia Spencer hate out there? Exactly, it ain't there the same way, because people don't dwell on her appearance as much as Lizzo or Monique's in the past. She also doesn't promote fat-sexy.

No one's opinion really matters probably less than 5%, if that high of black women on Earth can't get dick if they want. A lot of black women can't get love, but just fucking, maybe 98% CAN get dick no matter what they look like. Though I know of an Afro-Panamian chick( my sister's homie)that is built like Olive Oyl that apparently can't get laid. Yet pretty sure there are bruthas that would be lined up like opening wlnd for AVENGERS 1 to get with Lizzo.
Speak for yourself.

Lizzo sued by 3 former tour dancers for sexual harassment, creating hostile work environment
Lizzo is being sued by three former dancers for alleged sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. According to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday that was obtained by Yahoo Entertainment, one woman claimed she was weight-shamed by the Grammy-winning singer. Two allege they were pressured into nude photo shoots. One woman claimed to be nearly assaulted by Lizzo.
The complaint was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Lizzo (born Melissa Viviane Jefferson), her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc. (BGBT), and Shirlene Quigley, the captain of Lizzo's dance team. In various allegations by the defendants, they claim sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, assault and false imprisonment.
"The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing," attorney Ron Zambrano, a partner and employment litigation chair at West Coast Employment Lawyers, says in a statement on behalf of the three women.
Yahoo reached out to a rep for Lizzo, but did not immediately receive a response. Here's what you need to know about the lawsuit.
Who are the plaintiffs?
Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez are suing Lizzo, BGBT and Quigley. Not every allegation was brought against each defendant and it's unclear what, if anything, Lizzo knew about alleged inappropriate behavior levied against the other defendants.Davis and Williams met the "About Damn Time" singer in March 2021 as they prepared to compete on her reality TV show Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. They were ultimately selected for the dance team, but later fired. Rodriguez was hired in May 2021 to perform in Lizzo's "Rumors" music video and went on tour with the singer. She resigned earlier this year.
Amsterdam and Paris incidents
In February 2023, the dancers went out with Lizzo after a show in Amsterdam."These invitations were not unusual, and attendance was not mandatory, but it was well known that dance cast members were expected to endear themselves to Lizzo," the complaint reads. "Lizzo often mentioned that she had 'eyes and ears everywhere,' and only wanted 'good people with good energy' around her."
The women claim people who attended after-parties with Lizzo were favored and would usually get more work outside the tour, so they felt they needed to go. The singer planned a night out in Amsterdam's red light district, which is known for sex shows. The group went to a club where patrons are supposedly encouraged to interact with nude performers, and things "quickly got out of hand," according to the lawsuit. The complaint alleges Lizzo encouraged her crew to touch "the nude performers" and engage in other explicit sexual acts with them.
"Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms. Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women," the lawsuit reads. Davis declined, but Lizzo allegedly led a chant encouraging her to do it. Davis "briefly touched the performer's breasts" and was "mortified."
That same night, Lizzo supposedly pressured a member of her security team to get on stage and "his pants were pulled down, exposing his buttocks."
"Plaintiffs were aghast with how little regard Lizzo showed for the bodily autonomy of her employees and those around her, especially in the presence of many people whom she employed," the lawsuit says.
About a week later, Lizzo invited her dancers out in Paris, allegedly telling them they were going to a place with "live dancers performing and that they would be able to learn something or be inspired by the performance." The venue was Crazy Horse, which is "a nude cabaret bar."
"Plaintiffs [were] under the same pressure as before to go out with Lizzo after the performance, but this time the fact that they would be attending a show where nudity was prominently featured was hidden from them; making them completely surprised when the curtain was drawn, and nudity was yet again on display," the lawsuit states, claiming the women were "shocked that Lizzo would conceal the nature of the event from them, robbing them of the choice not to participate."
Another sexual harassment claim
Davis and Williams allege they were "pressured to participate in a nude photo shoot as contestants" on Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.Racial harassment
After the European leg of the tour, the dance team requested a retainer of 50% percent of their weekly rate during downtime. (Lizzo purportedly preferred the dance cast not take on other jobs in the interim.) A BGBT accountant countered with 25% and apparently scolded "the dancers for 'unacceptable and disrespectful' behavior while on tour, stating that it was cause for termination." However, no examples of unacceptable behavior was given."Only the dance cast — comprised of full-figured women of color — were ever spoken to in this manner, giving plaintiffs the impression that these comments were charged with racial and fat-phobic animus. This email marked the beginning of a strained relationship between the dancers and management," the lawsuit reads.
Ultimately, BGBT agreed to a 50% retainer, but the complaint alleges Black dancers were treated differently moving forward.
"BGBT's management team consisted almost entirely of white Europeans who often accused the Black members of the dance team of being lazy, unprofessional, and having bad attitudes. Not only do these words ring familiar as tropes used to disparage and discourage Black women from advocating for themselves, but the same accusations were not levied against dancers who are not Black," the complaint says.
According to the lawsuit, BGBT's management derided Williams, Davis and the other Black members of the dance team as lazy, unprofessional, "snarky" and generally having bad attitudes.
In April 2023, Williams was fired in a hotel lobby under the guise of "budget cuts," but was the only one let go. Rodriguez purportedly confronted Lizzo's tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta, that the firing was unprofessional.
"Ms. Gugliotta responded, 'We've never had any problems with you," seeming to imply that Ms. Rodriguez, one of the few members of the dance cast who is not Black, was not painted with the same generalized and unfounded criticisms as the Black members of the dance cast," the lawsuit reads.
Weight-shaming and disability discrimination
After the European tour, the dancers had to reaudition. During that "grueling" process, Davis lost control of her bladder as she was too afraid to leave the stage. According to the lawsuit, Davis claimed she previously disclosed to Lizzo and BGBT she struggled with anxiety, depression and binge eating. Days later, Davis said she was called into a private meeting with Lizzo and the choreographer, Tanisha Scott, who questioned why she "seemed less bubbly and vivacious than she did prior to the tour starting.""In professional dance, a dancer's weight gain is often seen as that dancer getting lazy or worse off as a performer. Lizzo's and Ms. Scott's questions about Ms. Davis's commitment to the tour were thinly veiled concerns about Ms. Davis's weight gain, which Lizzo had previously called attention to after noticing it at the South by Southwest music festival," the lawsuit says.
"Ms. Davis explained her diagnoses and struggles but made it clear that in spite of her mental health struggles, she was still committed to the tour and performing to the top of her capabilities. In response, Lizzo and Ms. Scott dismissively offered Ms. Davis time off of rehearsals to attend therapy," the complaint continues. Davis felt if she were to accept the offer, she'd lose her job, so she declined and continued to perform.
False imprisonment
In May 2023, Davis was "fired on the spot" after Lizzo believed she privately recorded a meeting. ("Ms. Davis has a habit of making audio recordings of stressful interactions so she can review them later in less stressful environments," the lawsuit says.)"Lizzo became furious, hurling expletives at the group and stated that she was going to go around the room, person-by-person until someone told Lizzo who made the recording," it continues. "Ms. Davis admitted that she had recorded the meeting and explained it was because she wanted to have a copy of the notes Lizzo had given them about their performances. Ms. Davis also explained that she never intended to harm Lizzo with the recording and had even deleted it the day after recording."
The complaint alleges Lizzo and Quigley "took turns berating" Davis before she was fired. Davis claimed she "was confined to a room against her will" as a security team searched her phone. She claims to have suffered emotional distress as a result.
Assault
During the incident mentioned above, Rodriguez apparently approached Lizzo and said she didn't appreciate how Davis was fired. Rodriguez resigned."Lizzo approached Ms. Rodriguez aggressively, yelling profanities, cracking her knuckles and balling her fists apparently preparing herself attack Ms. Rodriguez. Lizzo exclaimed, 'You're lucky. You're so f***ing lucky!' Ms. Rodriguez feared Lizzo intended to hit her and would have done so if one of the other dancers had not intervened," the lawsuit claims. "Lizzo was restrained and pulled away before she could contact Ms. Rodriguez."
Rodriguez claims she has suffered severe emotional distress, as Lizzo seemingly intended to inflict assault.
The three women are seeking an unspecified amount in damages and have requested a jury trial.
