Lizzo Says She May Quit Music Over Harsh Body-Shaming Comments On Social Media

Lizzo announced that she is considering ending her music career due to the deluge of negative comments made about her body on social media.

Heilpern tweeted: “How is Lizzo still THIS fat when she’s constantly moving this much on stage?! I wonder what she must be eating.” The post included a video of Lizzo wearing a green dress while dancing on stage during one of her concerts.

Lizzo responded to the tweet and similar comments in a series of posts.
