Jillian Michaels VS Lizzo

Jillian Michaels is being dragged on social media for recent comments she made about Lizzo. During an interview with Buzzfeed, Michaels was discussing obesity and said, “You cannot glorify obesity. It’s dangerous. It kills people.”

When host Alex Berg said that she loves celebs like Lizzo for “preaching self-acceptance” and allowing the public to celebrate different body types. Michaels said, “But why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? That’s what I’m saying. Like why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes. I’m just being honest. I love her music, my kid loves her music. But there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘I’m so glad that she’s overweight.’ Like why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?”

FANS GO OFF

Of course, Lizzo fans had a lot to say. One person tweeted, “The only reason we know who Jillian Michaels is, is because of a reality show where people used incredibly unhealthy practices in order to lose as much weight as possible, not to become the most physically fit or to get the healthiest vitals – in a dangerously short time.”
