- Julia Hartley-Brewer blasts pop star Lizzo’s ‘body positivity’ stance as “celebrating obesity”.
This comes after three backup dancers have accused the singer of sexual harassment and body shaming in a new lawsuit.
Julia says: “I find her and her dancers' bodies physically repulsive… I don’t think we should tell young women that being obese is great. It’s not!”

I never thought 30 years ago we'd be celebrating morbid obesity as "body confident"
We aren't! They are. I am waiting for the up is down movement to put the final nail in the coffin of sanity.😊
Terms like ‘body confident’ are an excuse for being fat.
Only in a world where up is down and down is up does this make sense?!
We're not. It's all fake.
First she gets called fat and disgusting by her critics. Then she defends herself. Then she gets accused of promoting obesity.
We wouldn't celebrate someone who is extremely thin due to anorexia, which is equally as dangerous as being obese; both are as a result of an unhealthy relationship with food.
Exactly. There's nothing great about being overweight.
Well that is just not true..______. Model are nearly always extremely thin - anorexia…..so this is the pot calling the kettle black.
Actually there's an infamous young UA-camr woman who is close to death due to anorexia illness that streams to 100s of 1000s of followers that don't mind her being like a living skeleton. She may be dead now. These are the times at the moment - "be who you want to be and no one dare say anything about it" , is what the woke mob will say.
With a name like Linda I assume you're born in the 1960s. So you would know that even then, without all the food available to people today, that someone's body shape can still be naturally fat. Stop burying your past knowledge because you don't like fat people. Was your mother fat? I think she definitely was and that's why you have a grudge
@@jazzdub4958 Exactly, but that doesn't mean we should promote it that includes being underweight.
I can't believe how we moved from talented singers like Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin to the likes of Lizzo and Cardi B.
So true, the standards are just so low now.
Does Cardy B really sing? The woman can hardly talk
@@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632Box and tick ✔️
I blame so called talent shows
It's like everything mate, take a look at architecture, it's almost as if it's on purpose to demoralise the population. If you want to ruin a country you have to destabilise said country and demoralise the population.
Would you be allowed to promote smoking or drinking with such a positive message? No is the answer. Yet obesity is being framed exactly this way.
Lizzo, has been doing her best to normalise obesity for years!
Very bad idea and she's failed!
Obesity is an illness , smoking and drinking are only vices.
Excellent observation. Thank you.
Smoking is very good for you ... especially if you add some special herbs to your baccy
@@retrowatches1655 I've never smoked in my life.
Very refreshing listening to someone speaking without being afraid of upsetting anybody, just like the old days.
Yes Julia is quite salty. She upsets all the right people. I like her a lot.
@@davidfogarty2220 thats because your a little B
The whole "body positivity" nonsense is insane. I'm sorry to inform these weirdos, but there's no way you can be healthy when you're a human dirigible.
I am positivity I don’t like fat people sorry about that my opinion.
Lizzo is so huge she's got her own post code.
@@mleh-qx8mo 🤣😂🤣😂💯
@@wideye2901 😀🤣😂🤣💯
I agree with you. I have suffered with thyroid disease all my life. I struggle to keep my weight in check.
Everything bad is promoted and it's not by accident.
She does not play a bubbly character. She is a diva in every interview and post. Glad someone is speaking out. Let's stop celebrating entitlement and bad habits that damage your health.
Gluttony used to be a sin.
Now it's a virtue.
This is indicative of a culture in deep and terminal decline.
There were fat kids in the 1960s and they definitely didn't overeat. Some people are naturally fat and there's nothing YOU can do about it, and neither can they
@@VMM34 Rubbish. Absolute rubbish and you know it!
@@VMM34 Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.
Obesity rates in the 60s were but a tiny fraction of the levels today.
So many Billy Bunters waddling around today, it's bloody disgraceful!
@@VMM34 How many "naturally fat" people do you see in Africa?
One billion people go to bed hungry every night, and 30,000 die every day from starvation and malnutrition.
Morbidly obese people need to take a long, hard look in the mirror before hiding behind virtue signaling platitudes.
@@VMM34how come there's no fat people in food poor places like Etheopia then?
Julia you are a very refreshing change. Thank you for having the strength of your convictions and saying it just as it is.
Repulsive is an understatement vile
Revolting, nauseating, sick etc also springs to mind.
It is a visceral reaction to be repulsed by someone obese, and grossly obese. You may be "trained" - bullied - in attempt not to even think it, but deep down, that reaction is there.
I love fat men. I don't like skinny men. Give me a fat guy with a good beard and cargo pants and I'm a happy woman 💋 and no, I'm not fat
Other than having hormonal issues, obesity is often a sign for undisciplined characters and over-indulgent lifestyles.
Thank you, Julia, for stepping in and saying they are huge. Its always sounds so ridiculous when people try to describe fat people. To hear the word salad and verbal gymnastics is just pathetic. Lizzo is huge. I find her body size and appearance repulsive. It's my opinion and I should be allowed to say it.
There will be bacteria in her creases. She is definitely not a good role model for any one but I can’t stop laughing when I saw her playing the flute 😂
@@carolphillips682 I wonder if she has a boyfriend, and if not why not?
@@brimkathstampex2306 she is married with 4 kids
@@brimkathstampex2306 next question?
I used to be morbidly obese and I called it as it was: FAT. I was fat. I even had a doctor wince and tell me not to think of myself like that. WHAT? FAT. I was fat. Period. I wasn't chubby, fluffy, overweight, big, rounded. FAT. Call it what it is, please.
Well said Julia .
Morbidly obese costs more than smokers do on the health system
I don't think so ; anyway , being obese is an illness , smoking is a vice ; there is an enormous difference.
@@Kaghemsuhait's sure does
@@Kaghemsuha Very rarely is being obese due to an illness. It's the cause of lots of illnesses but the obesity itself is mostly due to a vice...greed.
@@Kaghemsuha Obesity is consuming more than you burn. Stop lying. Not an illness. You are silly.
@@shellbell1705 Approaching obesity is a complex action; a multifactorial approach is needed; medical, investigating hormones, tiroid etc, psychiatric and psicological, investigating traumas , specially during early years of life, and with nutrition specialist . Near where I live , in Italy , there is one of the more advanced centre for this. Surely an obese person has not helped by saying him/her that is disgusting, that is a whale , that will die soon and so on . A drug addict is treated like a victim , why doesn't an obese person? An obese person is a victim of himself.
To celebrate being fat is moronic!! And Lizzo fat shaming?? How?? 🙄
She demands to be the fattest.
It's her thing.
Power
Life is like a box of chocolates, it doesn't last as long for fat people 👍
Maybe ; but who eats chocolates will die happier than who eats lettuce.
Unless the lettuce comes with a side of doner meat
Not a very diverse dance group?
I'm overweight and struggling to control Type 2 Diabetes, these ladies are overweight and I just hope she does not end up with a chronic medical condition. This is nothing to do with shaming, this is all about being concerned about their health now and in the future.
I admire you’re attitude, I wish you all the best on your journey xx
@peacefulpleb9991
It's hard to lose weight as i.well know. Best wishes to you. Stay strong and take care.
Sadly, obesity is becoming the norm, during a recent hot spell I was astonished at the number of fake tanned tubs of lard wobbling about, yuk.
If Lizzo is so beautiful, why do women punch me when I say they look like Lizzo?
Women: "Lizzo looks beautiful!"
Man to a large lady: "You look just like Lizzo"
Lady: "😲"
If your happy and fat good for you, however don’t cry if someone describes you as fat when you are!
Im gobsmacked that Lizzo can even have the audacity to fat shame anyone, when i last looked she wasnt exactly slender in any way shape or form.
Pot and kettle come to mind as well as huge hypocrisy.
The amount of fabric in that black dress could have housed a jamboree.
People who preach about something are always guilty of doing it the other way around. Lizo fat shaming, harry private jetting, Ellen being unkind…. And the list goes on.
Never put someone on a pedestal or give them a platform of influence.
Even as a child, I didn't get it 😮 I remember going to Brother beyond concert at 13yrs young 😂 and All of the girls screaming and crying 😂 It was weird 😂 We take away the honorifics and We are all just people 😘❤️🙏
Repulsive just about sums it up .
Children should be taught that obesity leads to numerous diseases and ailments, an earlier death, and a financial strain on society with medical care and other requirements. It is also more common in certain groups than others. This is all scientific fact.
The woman’s ego is almost as big as she is.
She is a "very big character "
I see what you did there Julia 😂😂
As a teenager I was body shamed which was nuts thinking about it now, I was a size 14 I was healthy I did not eat or drink junk food, but I was made to feel I was grossly over weight to the point I stoped eating, all I did was drink, we has school lunches when I was a teenager, so when I got home I told Mom I had a big lunch at school, so I did not need dinner/supper this went on for almost a year, weekends were the hardest, if I could get away with it I would say I ate out at me friends place if not I had to eat. I nearly died because of the bulling, the worst part was my bones became brittle I suffered two broken arms 3 times and a broken leg. I was placed on a food drip for 6 months and underwent extensive treatment during that time. I am now 60 years old and to this day I can only eat once a day, I love cooking but I still don’t enjoy eating. I have been known to go for days without food, and only drink coffee all day. I force myself to eat every day because if I don’t it also means Dad is not eating either.
I have a love hate relationship with food and I will alway have this, but I will never go without food in the same way as I did as a teenager.
Body positive was never meant to be proud of yourself when you are so obese that it looks repulsive, more so when you dress it all up like a lamb chop smothered in gravy and mint jelly. Body positive was never meant to be proud of yourself when you look like a living breathing skeleton, where one puff of wind would send you flying like the leaves being tossed in the wind in the autumn leaves.
Body positive was meant to allow you to see yourself to love your self enough to loss the weight at your own pace or most of all love yourself enough to see you your self and not all those models on the catwalk who starve themselves to a point because the camera adds on 10 pounds. Love yourself enough so you are never scared of eating a meal.
I see you have a love/hate relationship with food well there is some love so that’s good. I am 66 now and beacause of stress I stopped eating. THEN on my own I started deep breathing and dancing (alone) to my fave tunes. This relaxed me which made me happier which made me start eating. No one had any understanding so I realised that was a dead end. My tunes are Beyonce bills bills and Beyonce bugaboo. I love Joni Mitchell she is a maestro and I listen to Ricky Gervais who puts in into perspective. Other people can fuck you up. So get onto it and entertain your self eat well and yes don’t feel guilty if you have a day if coffee. It’s all ok. Look after yourself. I love Kelly Jay on utube as she looks after women and girls who look after boys and men ( bit like you). I am going to vote for her when she gets her party together. I am happy for the first time ever in my life at 66. I feel like I have been asleep my whole life and just pleasing other people not no more. So no regrets smile breath eat put music on.😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I just subscribed lol
I'm so sorry for all the bullying during your school days. I've not experienced this but am doing this in my adulthood where I lie to my parents that I've already eaten when I have not. Since young my parents have always provided loads of food, some healthy and some unhealthy and we were always encouraged to eat. They and the grandparents as well. Would always ask of we'd eaten or they'd always have food for us. I get that it's a culture thing but overfeeding us didn't do alot of good. Am currently trying to reduce intake whilst also having a better relationship with food. I love food and i love eating but its better to control it than let it get out of control and it turns into a eating disorder. Thanks for sharing your story.
Don’t forget Dawsie that women like me are here for you.
Totally agree with you. It is unhealthy and should not be celebrated 🇦🇺
I am sick of people fannying about and saying its up to the individual, yes they are responsible, but it doesn’t just affect them. I have severe kidney disease due to an autoimmune condition, when I go the clinic, I am often the only one of a normal weight. The 2 main causes of kidney disease are now diabetes and high blood pressure, both a nearly 100% lifestyle disease. So when I need dialysis or a transplant, I will be waiting in a queue which is much longer than it need be. One third of people with diabetes have kidney disease that’s approx. 2 million people who are ill due to nothing more than bad eating habits and lack of exercise. Roy Taylor at university of Newcastle has discovered the exact mechanism that triggers diabetes, the level of FAT in your liver and gallstone, a study of 20,000 people he did with the NHS proved that the vast majority of people can reverse their diabetes with simple weight loss. In addition to kidney disease, diabetes is also the leading cause of blindness, amputation, contributes greatly to heart disease, and strokes. Let’s get real and tell people they need to put down the knife and fork.never mind celebrating them.
I hope you never suffer not one little bit. You have the common sense. Sending you good vibes.😊😊😊😊😊❤️
But you support smokers because they're taxed to the hilt and fund the NHS
What you can see on the outside is the same on the inside around your organs.
Fat shaming is being cruel to be kind. I appreciate it when people kick me in the arse if I start being in danger of the harpoon.
Women are supposed to be curvy ie Marylin Munroe who,s diet was "mostly" steak , eggs and raw milk .
Curvy isnt fat .
Spot on diet 👌🏻
Honestly this scandal couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
Sorry lizzo but the longest 15 minutes of fame is finally over.
If i get over a certain weight I feel very uncomfortable. I can't do my shoe laces up without it hurting to bend down that far, and my weight makes just walking to the shops tiring, and going up steps I'm out of breath for much longer. I think the only reason people put up with those feelings - and worse - is that they've given up trying to lose weight and are trying to spin it that they don't care. I don't think any of them would not say yes if they could wave a magic wand and be thin again.
I've no idea who large lizard is but wouldn't watch it for free
what vile dresses she wears
10 man tents
Agreed, but at least they're better than those vomit inducing leotards! 🤮
Imagine putting all that effort into creating a " body positivity " movement just to avoid going on a diet.
Good on Julia for calling Lizzo and her backing dancers psychically repulsive and that no one should be promoting morbid obesity. I can’t stand these kinds of people either. 😃
I understand why she did it, many of these obese people actually dont see themselves as fat, its something wonky with their body image calculator.
Yes, in the same vein to be diverse and inclusive, public smoking should be re-instated especially in pubs.
they make me heave - grotesque.
To be huge ,it is not to be proud of. I find them repulsive. YOU ARE RIGHT , they can be what they want, but please don't give the people that it is lovely to look to be like a wale .
A whale is supposed to look the way it looks. Humans are not supposed to weigh in excess of 400 pounds.
That's truly horrific...How can I unsee this?
She was claiming the dancers were too skinny.
not surprised, the biggest pc warriors on the scene are most of the time te biggest bullies
MAN THAT GIRL LIKES DA CAKES 🧁🍰🥮🎂🍭🥧🍩🍪🥤
But the real cause was about the money, the dancers brought up fat shaming and all to make the case larger. It’s easy to check in the lawsuit.
So I’m disappointed that it’s not being mentioned because I think the media are just taking the easiest way to gain viewership without analyzing the case.
I've struggled with my weight since 8 years old. I was normal weight until then. My mother came to the school and made such a scene, I was then shunned and bullied by other students. In addition to being abuse in the household, I had no escape, no resiliency, I turned to food. I'm not so big you'd notice me and I've grateful I never got so large Leave people alone, you never know what they have endured. But celebrating? No effing way! I'd give anything to have not developed at eating disorder by 8. It's been my life long comfort. I'm even plant based for many, many years.
Some people are naturally fat. I was brought up in the 1960s UK and even kids from poor families could be fat. And 60s kids didn't live on a diet of sweets and huge servings of food. Money was extremely tight, it was Rob Peter to pay Paul a lot of the time, and everything was cooked from fresh. And kids were outside all day being active, but still there were fat kids BECAUSE IT'S IN THEIR GENES. Simple as that
@@VMM34 It may well be in their genes, but then you've got to stop eating doughnuts, chips, crisps, bread, butter, alcohol etc - simple.
So what happened eating wise after the age of 8? What weight are you now?
@@brimkathstampex2306 True, I had a fat friend at school and she was miserable but she just kept drinking those fizzy pop things - if you go back further to before certain products were around you will see a very different picture.
So being obese is being celebrated these days, why then aren't they celebrating anorexics or starving masses? Seems the same level of insanity to me.
They did for years, not the pendulum has swung to the other end. Bonkers.
I think you have some serious memory issues ; "thin is beautiful" had been a message inculcated for decades in the mind of young women by medias , fashion etc , since someone discovered that this leaded a great number of girls to anorexia.
I was always bullied and put down because I was little and skinny. I couldn’t put weight on whatever I did. Yes, I was embarrassed by it. Preferred to keep my top on and wear baggy tops. Now, because I can’t exercise much due to an accident, I’m still short, but probably carry a bit more weight than I should. Bit of a podge and manboobs and still embarrassed, but not willing to accept the snide, nasty comments anymore.
Christ, she would need her own barge.
Need to roll that in FLOUR TO FIND THE WET SPOT( 🙊)
Go on Julia! “I find their bodies repulsive”! Brilliant!
I’m skinny my mum was bigger some people are big and it’s not the end of the world, everyone is different
Not long ago I saw an article about a man who went to his Doctor about his weight problem. No matter what he did he was unable to lose fat around his middle. The Doctor, like many Doctors before him told the young man he should try to exercise and he would lose weight. The young man told the Doctor that he ran several miles a day, everyday and that he had participated in marathons. The Doctor was clearly was sceptical till the young man pulled his medals from all the marathons he had participated in. Just because someone is fat does not mean that they do not exercise or that they are Couch potatoes sitting stuffing themselves. Nor is all skinny people anorexic or bulimic. Folk should stop judging when they don’t even know the person. If you have nothing good to say then don’t bother saying it.
Mika said big girls were beautiful. That's because he doesn't have to see them without their clothes on.
Completely correct it's a danger to our health!!
Well said Julia … we are all becoming much more honest in these weird times , let’s call a spade a spade … tonight we had a guy who identifies as ‘a lady’ ask to join our online women’s circle next week …… I’m 62 what TF is the world coming too ?
I respect the way you really took your time to keep reiterating your truth in a way tfat wouldn’t get you into non woke trouble
I wonder if anyone ever "fat shames" Sumo wrestlers?
Being obese is not in any way a positive. It’s unhealthy and less than flattering.
*Julia Hartley Brewer thank God for you,* the other woman is talking absolute nonsense. TalkTV has a really bad problem with choosing these women who look the part, but have absolutely zero understanding of their topics or indeed, general knowledge.
Putting them next to Julia is like putting my 4 year olds fingerpainting next to a Picasso £10M piece lol she's actually smart as hell and usually gets it right. Then she says "what do you think?" and the other lady talks a bunch of drivel.
The saying is don't throw stones if YOU ARE IN a glass house. It doesn't make sense if you just say "people shouldn't throw stones at glass houses". Another example, this is directly after a Julie classic line!! Garbage guests, JHB deserves better. And so do we!
I am shocked - wtf it cannot be: black, strong, independent wimim being nasty/beasty/shaming - no really I am SHOCKED
There are millions of people who have diseases , mental health issues and physical disabilities that result in weight gain or loss, obesity and anorexia . To say you find another human being repulsive because of their appearance is so wrong. It’s horrifying to think to
this content is allowed on any platform have some respect for yourself and your audience .
Lizzo is bigger than my two fridges combined. 😄😂🤣
All these women who say she is beautiful. Just see what they say when you say to them, "You are beautiful, you remind me of Lizzo"
The immense accretion of flesh which had descended on her in middle life like a flood of lava on a doomed city had changed her from a plump active little woman with a neatly-turned foot and ankle into something as vast and august as a natural phenomenon.
Obesity is unhealthy and not beautiful. There is a line to the body weight. Same with anorexia. Neither is something to be applauded.
How many times is she going to say BIG in the first one minute of her story??? LOL
Obese is the word !
She's not obese....but she wont fit in no coffin...the hearse perhaps
100 percent agree. Should be promoting health and fitness not this.
Some women have a stumbling block on why they are overweight.
Eating less and exercising, as we blokes know, may help.
Just say it... FFS "THEY ARE FAT!!!!"
FAT is not a natural default position
Bravo Julia ! Ty for being realistic and not afraid to say it like it is. No one favours bullying , but entitlement and bad habits should not be celebrated nor encouraged !!
Another storm in a tea cup . People love to sue
The saddest thing is if She chose 2B healthier 2morrow, She'd lose the position she thinks she has 😢 Wouldn't fit that part of the Narrative, Stop celebrating This, Her heart will be screaming 💔
15 yrs ago I broke my kneecap, the physio to start walking again started with swimming and moving knees, then progressed to the gym.
No fat person ever made it to the gym - they were left semi immobile, with crutches or wheelchair, for the rest of their lives. The damaged knees could not carry all the weight.
It made me realise that being fat was a health issue, not a feminist issue.
Perform to MANIPULATE the MINDS of the YOUTH ....
An increasing number of people all over the world are seriously over-weight! Then everyone wonders why diabetes, coronary heart disease and other chronic illnesses are costing health services huge money.
There is absolutely nothing fit or fabulous about obesity. I agree with Julia.
Might I also suggest that there may be other reasons why these performers are able to have energy on stage ... youth maybe as an example. 😂
It's genetic.
Overweight people lack self control and as a result are prone to flying off the handle in the most outrageous manner.
Those same instincts can mean they are also very gregarious, sociable and a lot of fun.
But they are prone to mood swings.
My advice is; be aware, watch out for a fatty's temper and stay out of wobbling distance.
Interviewing someone from the Sun. You have such high standards.
What about the majority of very sickly skinny dancers...aren't they also a unrealistic image encouraging young girls about only being worth something if you look like them. Imagine young girls starving themselves to look too skinny...to exercise too much to achieve that look. Be who you are happy to be...don't idolize others popstars either anorexia or 'obese.
Let's just be kind to each other and be content whatever your body type...
People are afraid to say the word fat nowadays. Damn 😂, I'm nowhere near lizzo's size but damn, since I gained weight, I snore now and my ankle hurts
I thought she ate the dancers after the performance?
It would explain a lot.
😂
Thankfully never heard of her, I was over weight health suffered lost 3+stone feel great no more meds I'm now 9stone 5 pounds my neighbour keeps telling me plz don't loose anymore she is 14+stone think she is jealous 😂
They won't be so brave when their all dropping from heart attacks
Is it even possible for a morbidly obese female pop star to not be accused of promoting obesity?
Big? Greenpeace are looking for her
Julia , luvvy , why have guests on , talk all over them and don’t let them say anything .
Being obese is not to be celebrated. It's revolting.
Maybe she should have a word with Dawn French and Adele....
There is nothing positive about being a bloater.
She’ll make as much money as she can from spreading her harmful message, and then use her vast wealth to lose her weight with expensive personal trainers and surgery, while she leaves the normal people she encouraged to be stuck with chronic disease and shortened lifespans ☹️
“Jee no waba mu ba outmian nudcha Jedi.”
IF Lizzo and her group stopped touring then Mammoet are likely to go out of business as a taxi service
