Lizzo defended herself against men who judge womenโs bodies in a new interview on the Brazilian TV show,ย Folha.
The Grammy Award-winning singer opened up about how men are rarely subjected to the same scrutiny that women constantly find themselves saddled with.
The โTruth Hurtsโ songstress was asked how people reacted to her and โrealized that [Lizzo] did not follow the physical conventional [standards] of beauty.โ
โI think that women are always going to be criticized for existing in their bodies and I donโt think Iโm any different than any of the other great women whoโve come before me that had to literally be politicized just to be sexualโฆyou know what I mean? [Just to] exist.,โ the 31-year-old artiste told the interviewer.
โThings on them that are beautiful are called flaws and they persisted and fought against that. Now Iโm able to do what I do because of those great women and they all look completely different. They all had to deal with the same type of marginalization and misogyny,โ she continued.
While spending some downtime in the South American country, Time Magazineโs โEntertainer of The Yearโ rocked a tiny red bikini while laughing and drinking with her girlfriends beachside.

โLike, โthatโs not a conventional dโk size, itโs too small.โ We still let yaโll asses run all over the goddamn place.,โ she added.
While speaking with Brazilโs news portal G1 she also talked about the โlack of representation in the world.โ
โThere is a lack of representation in the worldโfull stop. Especially for women who look like me,โ she said.
โBut my choice process was to make myself visible, not to shrink. To be heard and use my platforms to raise other women. Thatโs why I put black and big dancers and also an entire orchestra of black women on the Grammy stageโbecause I think that if I can help them, I must help them.โ
Lizzo has long been a proponent of body positivity and acceptance, yet still faces her fair share of body shaming. At one point, she even quit social media due to trolls and constant negativity. Still, the songwriter has been adamant about wearing what makes her feel happy, regardless of those who disapprove.
