The Cookout

[Finesse]

I guess Aries Spears (Comedian, previously from Mad TV fame), made some remarks about Lizzo's weight during a recent interview and Lizzo fans are throwing a fit. I guess what he said could be deemed a bit offensive, but I think when you're an artist in the public eye, you need to be able to handle the bad things people say. He said things like:

"But a woman that's built like a plate of mashed potatoes is in trouble," - I mean he's not wrong. It may sound hurtful, but he's right in that her weight is only hurting her health.

There was other comments, but you can read the article below to get more details on that. Anyway, the dude is a comedian, of course he's going to say some offensive stuff, and Lizzo is sadly an easy target for comedians due to her weight.

I find a lot of the comments in support of her were kinda funny. Like one saying: "Lizzo is in great shape as a performer. She twerks, sings, dance, and play an instrument at the same time."

I wouldn't say she's in great shape by any means, but she is able to do that stuff. But for how long? Because he weight is going to eventually impede her ability to do all of that eventually.

If you noticed the comments, it was ironic that when defending Lizzo's weight against Aries Spears, they were fat shaming him!!

Comedian's shouldn't do what comics have been doing for eons and that is effing with people? When did that change?
We should stop the ComedyCentral roasts then?

One of the points Lizzo uses to market herself is her weight. If that's the case, naturally, attention and conversations will be had around it. Let the comedian do his thing. I'm tired of seeing people running to the aid of these celebrities, especially ones who put themselves out there for people to take shots at them.
