Music: Lizzo slams revived Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: ‘Just value money?’

Well Spears don’t have much of a career these days, but Tiffany definitely took a career hit.

I think I just saw Haddish in an upcoming movie premier commercial. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen her mainstream. First thing my wife said when she saw it was the child grooming video thingy over.
 
Thank goodness
bitch woulda prolly broke the stage......

It’s no secret that I’ve never been a fan of Lizzo’s unique brand of “body positivity”, despite being an unapologetic advocate of the shocking concept that humans should not be bullied over their appearance, even if they are not a shining beacon of health perfection (as most of us aren’t).

While encouraging people to feel comfortable and unashamed by their bodies is a message everyone can and should get behind, particularly because ample scientific evidence supports the concept that shaming people not only doesn’t lead to weight loss, it might even lead to poorer health and weight gain, Lizzo has been particularly meticulous at utilizing victimization for her own self-aggrandizement.

First presenting herself as unfairly oppressed with videos of her in tears about decrying a world that doesn’t love her back, then ultimately rising to hero status, belting uplifting lyrics such as “ In case nobody told you today
You’re special…” and creating ‘big girl’ anthems like “ Tempo” and “Juice.”


Lizzo’s ‘love yourself’, body-positive persona propelled her fame to new heights and made it nearly impossible to criticize her without being labeled a form of ‘ist’ or ‘er’.

Her campaign excelled at making her success about you.

Her status was further secured by multiple wins in several categories, including Grammies and an Emmy for her Amazon Prime series Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.

Lizzo is not so much a performer as she is a symbol — and if you help Lizzo get more famous and rich, you are sticking it to “haters”, and helping to combat oppression in America (and she actually pretty much said this).

Even networks aimed at young children promote Lizzo, despite the flagrant adult nature of her performances which often involve twerking, overt sexuality, and nudity.

Somehow, Lizzo has been able to maintain her endearing ‘auntie’ facade even as she twerked among children at a basketball game in an exposed thong.

The classically trained flutist was even invited to a special tour at the Library of Congress, where she, again, twerked, to the joy of spectators.

If you don’t love her, you’re a curmudgeon who hates big beautiful black women.

Well, I’m glad to say that this mentality can die now, as Lizzo has now joined the ranks of the disgraced absurdly famous, proving once again that no one is immune.

Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have filed a lawsuit against her for creating a toxic work environment.

Now, the accusations leveled at Lizzo and some of her coworkers are not so obscenely horrific that she should be ‘canceled’ over them, but for someone who literally built their career as the antithesis to the toxicity of body-negative culture, eyebrows need to be raised.

The unbelievable headlines are now reading that Ms. Body Positivity (and other individuals under her) fat-shamed her dancers, sexually harassed them, and there’s even a racism allegation — a complete ‘Me Too’ trifecta.

But wait, there’s more…ableism and false imprisonment are also claimed.

What’s worse, several people are coming forward, including the former director of her documentary, who called her a “narcissistic bully”, to completely flip the switch on the celebrated singer:

“I was treated with such disrespect by her. I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered and unkind she is.”

Media outlets, including those which have drooled over her previously, are pouncing.

Some of the allegations, most of which are hard to imagine a person would just ‘make up’, are literally disgusting…particularly one involving bananas in an adult club.

Although given Lizzo’s brazen sexuality that straddles the line between self-confidence and obnoxiousness that is part of her brand, I suppose we shouldn’t be so surprised.

When it comes to people who normalize lewdness to the point that it has an accepted presence around children, extreme activities like these are part of a packaged deal we should have seen coming.

People have expressed shock…shock that Lizzo is being accused of doing things that go against everything she is supposed to stand for, including forcing dancers to go through grueling auditions that led to one dancer soiling herself and goading some of her employees to touch and interact with adult performers.

The accusers expressed that they felt pressured to comply for fear of losing favor with their employer.

Sadly, such crappy treatment of professional dancers is nothing new, from rigorously trained ballerinas to dancers who tour with pop stars, as is the case here, body shaming is a frequent complaint, even among those with enviable bodies we’d kill for.

Should Lizzo’s accusers win their lawsuit or reach a settlement agreement, perhaps it would set a new precedent for these ubiquitous toxic working environments.

However, should they lose, this doesn’t negate the fact that Lizzos’ forcing on America as an anti-bullying, self-love hero has largely been a farce.

There are in fact too many accusers to chalk all the allegations up to complete fabrication.

Lizzo Addresses the Allegations​

I initially figured that to keep her carefully curated image, Lizzo would likely forgo any defensive action that mirrored a Toxic Gossip Train-level clap back and apologize, just as she did for the rather ridiculous backlash she faced over the use of the word “spaz” in her song’s lyrics.

I felt that her promising to ‘do better’ was probably her only option at this point to salvage her sweet-hearted do-gooder persona or that she would possibly blame her actions on society and what she has endured in the past. Something that likely wouldn’t reflect her actual feelings.

Surprisingly, she appears to be taking the denial route, which indirectly suggests that several people must be suffering from a high level of delusion in order to completely fib about everything.

She has stated that some of the accusers acknowledged people felt they acted unprofessional, although that has nothing to do with their accusations leveled towards her.

But what would be the takeaway from all this?​

How about we stop idolizing celebrities to the point that we inflate their ego like a Clifford balloon at a Thanksgiving Day parade?

Often more than not, if we keep telling them they are amazing and superior, they will certainly believe it, and mistreatment will follow.

And when the ‘little’ people speak up, it’s often the case that these truths are smothered by impenetrable favorable narratives and ‘you’re a hater’ culture.

Lizzo is not only not who she has been curated to be, but she’s also a bit worse if we believe even half of what’s being said about her from more than one source.

She’s not a monster, but it’s pretty ironic that she’s likely a bit meaner than the average person. Whether or not that pre-dates her fame, we’ll never know.

However, we need to stop creating false narratives around these random people who are privileged enough to have their careers blow up.
 
I hate sloppy nasty kangaroo pouch fat bitches. They are so gross and disgusting to look at. Lizzo is bad, but not this goddamn bad. But I don't want to look at lizzo fat ass either
 
I have a question. No jokes, no cappin', just a simple question. The same simple question I have anytime I encounter a thread with this much WTF going on inside of it.

OP, what were you looking for when you originally came across this clip. It just doesn't seem like the kinda thing one discovers by accident. 9 times outta 10, you had to be looking for something specific to come across something like that.
