Jillian Michaels is doubling down on comments she made about singer Lizzo’s weight. “I meant it, meant every word,” Michaels said. “I don't celebrate anyone being overweight.” The famed personal trainer is known for being a tough-talking motivator on "The Biggest Loser" and caused a firestorm after telling Buzzfeed, “Why aren't we celebrating her music? Cause it isn't gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes.” Lizzo indirectly addressed the controversy on Australian TV. #InsideEdition

I gotta admit, I respect the hell out of her for not changing her words, even after the backlash. Shows courage, at the very least.

She’s got a point though, people need to stop taking everything so seriously

She is speaking absolute facts, who gives af about the size of her body, it's the music that matters.

She’s a world class personal trainer; she’s not going to celebrate someone being overweight, she’s built her life around helping people not be

She's not wrong. She wasn't hateful or insulting, she was simply honest.

sure, we should respect people’s bodies but that doesn’t mean we should encourage obesity

Obesity is a killer. There’s a difference between being slightly heavy or “curvy” and being obese. We shouldn’t celebrate or encourage obesity, period. Body positivity shouldn’t be used as an excuse to be unhealthy and you shouldn’t accuse anyone of being a “fat shamer” for recognizing your health risks. It’s ok to be comfortable in your own skin, but there should be a line drawn.

She is completely right and I’m extremely happy that someone is being unapologetic about it.
