Lizzo being sued for fat shaming

It's simple, she doesn't see herself as fat, only others.

It's quite reductionist and condescending to say she's based her entire career on obesity but it's certainly part of her brand.

I struggle to understand how someone who has no doubt been subject to harassment for her weight can put someone else through the same thing. The touching a nude performer story sounds like a college frat party.

That Quigley one sounds like a contradictory nightmare; trying to convert people to Christianity and abstain from pre-marital sex while publicly humiliating virgins. WTF?

She blazed a trail for all the flute playing morbidly obese women in the world

It seems to be mostly her dance instructor that's the cause.

She’s a ballbag anyway, I think that’s the point of these accusations - because she’s a successful ballbag 😂

I think it’s the whole wanting to see her taken down a peg or two is all, celebrity shìte 😒

Like Lizzo, the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. The novelty wore off and there was no talent underneath it to sustain her career. It’s why they’re coming out with this shìte - because they know controversy generates revenue. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if the ‘complainants’ were paid to play their part by Lizzo’s management team.

Im not a fan, but Jesus, why are people constantly going straight to guilty on the strength of an accusation. This really has to stop.

When I saw this story I thought of boards. I imagined that lots of the people who normally come onto a thread when someone is accused of something and say "show me the conviction" would not take that approach here. I'm not going to trawl through people's histories, but I suspect that's very much the case here.

You have to ask yourself why.

Disgraceful the criticism Lizzo is getting, it's all from haters who dislike strong black women who play by their own rules. Their dislike of Lizzo just shows how racist, misogynistic and insecure they are .

Sure thing, I mean it is not likely at all that she is as bad as these claims say or anything, right?

The embracing of Lizzo for body positivity is just another dumbass import from the industrial dumbass factory across the water. From what I know of her she comes across as an awful human and that was before these accusations came out.

She seems delightful, and not exhausting at all

...this is a joke, right?

..

I've no idea why she was ever used as an example for body positivity anyway, she is a walking heart attack and unless she gets rid of the excess fat on her body she won't see old age.

More coming forward now.

It astounds me sometimes the level of stupidity I read on this site.

It's designed that way. The lawyers would be instructing their clients to get support via SM which then gets picked up by other media. The purpose being the chances of a settlement are higher even if the allegations are not really true the reputational damage could be very costly.

TBH the charges against her are pretty thin no pun intended.

Ms Davis alleges the two questioned whether she was "struggling with something as she seemed less committed to her role on the dance cast", the case details.

"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," the documents allege.

Though never explicitly stated, the questions "gave Ms Davis the impression that she needed to explain her weight gain and disclose intimate personal details about her life in order to keep her job", the legal documents say.

Life on these mega tours are pretty stressful.

But super stars are not all dicks.

Bit of class here.

People have been saying that for at least 25 years now and we're still perfectly free to have a go at people who are different. And that's just in my memory - I'm sure older people have had even more years of people shíting "oh, you can't say anything these days, whah, whah". It's hogwash, if you'll pardon the pun. This whole thread is an opportunity to have a go at someone and plenty are making the most of it and rightly so in my opinion.

I guess that small dick comment must have stung.

I've been thinking about this and I speak with some authority on the matter, that you aren't asked to consume the banana while it is held somewhat inside the vagina of the young lady in question. As I remember it, they use their pelvic floor muscles to eject the peeled fruit item across the room and it is up to the patron whether they decide to catch it, with the hands, the mouth, or not at all.

Honestly on this basis alone I think the suit should be dismissed.
