Lizzo’s cheeky swimsuit photos come just one week afterJillian Michaels, personal trainer fromThe Biggest Looser,questioned why fans praised the singer’s body.
“Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music?” Michaels, 45, said when discussing Lizzo‘s reputation for pushing body-positivity and self-acceptance during anappearanceon Buzzfeed News’AM2DM
“Cause it isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes,” Michaels continued. “I love her music. My kid loves her music. But, there’s never a moment where I’m like, ‘And I’m so glad that she’s overweight.’”
Despite softening her tone, Michaels urged listeners to “prioritize our health.”
Fans slammed Michaels for “fat-shamming” Lizzo and thecelebrity trainerissued a statement on her Instagram later that day.
“As I’ve stated repeatedly, we are all beautiful, worthy, and equally deserving. I also feel strongly that we love ourselves enough to acknowledge there are serious health consequences that come with obesity — heart disease, diabetes, cancer to name only a few,” Michaelssaid in a statementon Instagram.
“I would never wish these for ANYONE and I would hope we prioritize our health because we LOVE ourselves and our bodies.”
Other celebs jumped into the conversation.

Why is This woman acting like she’s an MRI? Stop concern-trolling fat people and get in the bin.”
