    I've wondered about her ever since she pulled a really nasty stunt in Boston. She was staying at a hotel here and ordered delivery of a lobster sandwich. The sandwich did not get delivered because she had used a fake name when she checked in. She publicly blamed the delivery person and said the person had stolen her sandwitch. She even put the person's name online. And the person got harassed, even got death threats.What a jerk.

Either they all are lying or she is a bully of the worst kind. Narcissistic bullies often choose to play the role of the victim in order to target and harass innocent victims and get away with it.

Just because she doesn't hate herself and hide away from everybody doesn't mean that she's "encouraging obesity." And, I'm saying this as somebody who is very disgusted with her conduct (assuming what is in the lawsuit is true). Also, although celebrities that are thinner aren't exactly paragons of health. Most of them get loads of plastic surgery, are on unhealthful weight loss regimens, and use drugs, but because they're thin, folks assume they are healthy and are good role models.

    I think Lizzo might have trouble recovering. Check out her song credits. There's typically 5 or more people writing her songs which include professional song writers. They won't hand over songs to her unless they think she can make them a lot of money off the songs.

      That's an insightful observation. I hadn't thought about how limited the job opportunities are for overweight dancers.
      I'm not diagnosing Lizzo as adopting this perspective, only speculating that someone like her may come to feel like the dancers "owe" her an extensive debt of gratitude for being employed at all. Also this could foster a dynamic where the employer knows her employees don't really have other readily available job options, so she can treat those employees unfairly or inappropriately without any real threat of them resigning. Or complaining and risking losing their job.

This person is one of those performers. I don’t like the sounds of modern popular music. As far as her behavior goes, I am getting the feeling that, because of the rewarding poor behavior trend that’s been sweeping the country over the past 8 years that there are huge amounts of people who feel entitled to behave in any manner that strikes their fancy. This trend is going to produce generations of people who are happily destroying societal norms. There are no consequences to any bad behavior, and it’s going to ruin the enjoyment of life for the rest of us. We are definitely on a decline as far as a society is concerned and it cannot possibly go any other direction without some major changes.

      Well, if she was good enough with the flute to be in a classical music major in college, she may actually deserve to be called a musician. People who make classical music their college major are usually only able to declare that as their major after being selected for a particular music education program. She most likely had at least some proficiency with other instruments besides just the flute, and she certainly could read music and play by sight-reading. Otherwise she wouldn't have ever been accepted in any music performance program at any university in this country.

  • @CurvaceousElite
    @CurvaceousElite 10 місяців тому +4

    As a large woman myself who is athletically gifted, I have some doubts about Lizzo fat Shaming. While my thoughts are speculative here is where I sit.
    It seemed from the court documents and the interviews Ari's performance was "allegedly" becoming problematic. As a big woman myself with strong athletic talents, I know all to well what a rapid 10lbs+ weight gain can do to one's ability...even more so for a person who still remains within a healthy BMI. We can get more sluggish, are more injury prone, movements may become more restrictive, etc. I can imagine that poor performance coupled with rapid weight gain could have been a concern for Lizzo and management, not because they want to fat shame, but because that dancer medically becomes a greater risk and liability. Ari, herself also stated in an interview that at the SXSW show when she revealed her medical conditions which included an ED, she said Lizzo and management was like "oooooh". That response doesn't seem like someone wanted to fat shame, that response sounds like someone who understood with more clarity what was happening. She also stated she wasn't even sure if Lizzo had received her medical and psychological assessment information from the dance competition show. So, it doesn't sound like fat Shaming, but I also could be wrong.
    I do want to add that I understand what it's like to be a big woman who is self conscious about my body...it seemed like perhaps Ari was projecting her own insecurities and her anxiety and depression may have exacerbated her sense of feeling ostracized regarding her weight. Once again I could be wrong and do not claim I'm 100% right about this, but just I could see this being a legit scenario.
    Now, those sexual harassment claims, are appalling...and while alleged the ladies seemed more confident and sure of themselves when talking about those issues. I'm inclined to believe Ari rightfully felt sexually harassed. Her boundaries weren't respected and not only that, intimate details about her virginity were shared and publically discussed without her conset, which doesnt seem ok.
