- Lizzo slammed body-shamers criticizing her weight and workout habits in a new TikTok video.
- The clip featured the "Juice" singer riding an exercise bike, doing jumping jacks, and jumping rope, while explaining to body-shamers in a voiceover that she's not interested in their criticisms.
- "So I've been working out consistently for the past five years, and it may come as a surprise to some of y'all that I'm not working out to have your ideal body type," Lizzo said.
- "I'm working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f---ing business," she continued.
- Lizzo concluded the TikTok by saying, "So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald's... how about you look at your own f---ing self?"
Lizzo slammed body-shamers and opened up about her workout habits in a new TikTok video posted Tuesday.
The "Juice" singer, who has been famously outspoken about the issues she faces as a plus-sized Black woman in the entertainment industry, didn't hold back in the nearly one-minute clip.
"So I've been working out consistently for the past five years, and it may come as a surprise to some of y'all that I'm not working out to have your ideal body type," Lizzo said in the video.
"I'm working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f---ing business," she continued. "Because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job, and I stay on my job."
"So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them, whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald's, or work out, or not work out, how about you look at your own f---ing self?" the "Juice" singer said.
Lizzo concluded the TikTok by telling followers, "Health is not just determined by what you look like on the outside. Health is also what happens on the inside. And a lot of y'all need to do a f---ing cleanse for your insides. Namaste, have a great day."
This isn't the first time the singer has spoken out about her experiences as a plus-sized Black woman on social media.
On Saturday, Lizzo shared a response to people on TikTok who comment her name under videos of plus-sized girls and women.
"To the people who be putting my name in the comments, thank you," she said. "Because you know what? If every time you see a big girl on this app loving herself, and putting herself out there, and being confident and loving her body, you think of me, or you think she looks like me — b----, that is a compliment."
And in March, Lizzo criticized TikTok for removing her videos in swimsuits while leaving up similar videos of skinnier women.
"Tiktok keeps taking down my videos with me in my bathing suits but allows other videos with girls in bathing suits," the singer wrote in the video. "I wonder why? Tiktok... we need to talk."
