She was recently the subject of a tweet which many interpreted as fat shaming.
A social media user tweeted a picture of herself and one of the singer and asked her followers: “Me or Lizzo?”
Many fans leapt to Lizzo’s defence.
Right Winger desperately tried to Body Shame the gorgeous Lizzo. It has backfired on her, but this shaming she tried to do is vile.
It’s not her body that makes Cassandra unappealing. It’s her hatred and bigotry. Lizzo is a beacon of love while Cassandra is pure hate. pic.twitter.com/p2D3HbbeHR

Seeing this lady post about Lizzo makes me think of this:
You'll never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. You'll always be criticized by someone doing less. Remember that. pic.twitter.com/H5Zm0Z9Ek7

One person wrote: “Lizzo is a beautiful woman, regardless of her size. She’s not only a talented singer but is a kind-hearted and hilarious person as well.”
They continued in their tweet: “The shape of your body doesn’t define your character. It is your personality and how you treat others that defines you. Lizzo, you go girl!”
Whilst another commented: “Even if I didn’t know who Lizzo was, I definitely would choose her just based on the photo. She looks so loving and peaceful and full of light”.
“I am always attracted to the complete package. Lizzo’s amazing attitude and her musical talent is part of [that] and that makes her extremely attractive,” said another.
