American musician Lizzo has responded to the backlash she faced after posting a 10-day detox plan on her TikTok. The RnB singer posted a series of photos and videos of herself drinking juice smoothie for weight loss. She immediately faced backlash for promoting “diet culture.”
Lizzo then made another video to explain why she posted her detoxing journey. She said she didn’t want to be “afraid and ashamed” to share her experience with the 10-day detox “because I feel like as a big girl, people expect if you are doing something for health, you’re doing it for a dramatic weight loss, and that is not the case.”
“In reality, November stressed me the f— out,” she continued. “I drank a lot, I ate a lot of spicy things and things that f—ed my stomach up. I wanted to reverse it and get back to where I was. I’m so proud of myself. I’m proud of my results. My sleep has improved, my hydration, my inner peace, my mental stability, my f—ing body, my f—ing skin, the whites of my eyes, I feel and look like a bad b— — and that’s it.”

“I’m a big girl who did a smoothie detox and I wanted to share it with you guys. And every big girl should do whatever the f— they want with their bodies.” She concluded.
Since speaking out, many fans have shown support for her, asking bullies to let the singer be as she has always on the receiving end of criticisms regardless of what she does.
Wait people are mad at @lizzo for dieting? Her message is body positivity, no matter the body. I’m a full sized lady who loves her music and feels empowered regardless if she is on a vegan/smoothie kick. She is a musician who doesn’t just exist to be my role model 🤷🏻♀️ #Lizzo pic.twitter.com/nBJwm6bxTR

So, let y’all tell it @lizzo can’t be fat, so she changes her diet. Now, she can’t be skinny! Damn, can she just be HAPPY?! However SHE defines it. #yallareannoying

The only thing Lizzo promotes is doing whatever the f**k you want to do with your body. Which is exactly what she did. She wanted to cleanse her system which is what a detox is. Y’all love reaching for s**t especially when it comes to her. She owes us nothing. #Lizzo
