Lizzo Shuts Down Fatphobic ‘Bullying,’ Says It’s ‘Socially Acceptable’: ‘Just Shut the F*ck Up’

Lizzo refused to be shamed into revealing how much weight she's lost.

The four-time Grammy winner, who's actively shared her health journey on social media for months, recently appeared on the Jason Lee-hosted Hollywood Unlocked and was directly asked about how many pounds she's dropped.

While Lizzo joked that she doesn't want anyone to "clock" her, she explained that she doesn't believe people could "do the math" on her size.

"I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, 'Lizzo talks about her 500-pound weight loss," she said. "I was like, 'Yo, why are y'all putting numbers on me?"

"It kind of annoys me, so a part of me is like, 'Should I say the number to dead it or should I leave it a mystery?'" she pondered.

The "Still Bad" artist also shared her belief that fat people are subject to bullying, and that it's "socially acceptable" to do so also recalling her personal experiences of being ridiculed.

"I've been called Rasputia so many times. I've been called Rasputia on my own video set," Lizzo continued, referencing the Eddie Murphy-played character from Norbit. "I had to just hold in the tears and keep going."

Lizzo added that when people condescendingly "feign concern" about the health of fat people, they're "still bullying." "Just shut the fuck up," she said.

Also in the interview, Lizzo talked about the public being surprised that she was a big woman with confidence upon becoming an artist, although she occasionally shows her vulnerability when it comes to weight.

"I needed to show them that like my pain was as real as my joy so they could believe my whole experience," she said. "'Cause I think if I was always happy and always like 'Hey, look at me! I'm a bad bitch and nothing ever gets to me!' People would be like, 'She faking. It's not real.' So I was like, 'Let me show y'all when it does break me down.'"

One instance is when Lizzo shared a TikTok last September about mistakenly overindulging on a meal, which she's evidently bounced back from.
