AceShowbiz - Lizzo's decision to adapt a healthier lifestyle has been scorned by Internet users. While the rapper/singer has been working on her physical improvement, some people criticized the move.

Some critics deemed the hip-hop star a hypocrite for wanting to change when she claims to be comfortable in her skin no matter her size. They said she betrayed her own "unhealthy standards" supposedly promoting being "out of shape" and claimed she is only getting fit because of cyberbullying.

"Nothing really changed. She's the same size," someone questioned Lizzo's progress after she shared workout videos. Others claimed the "bullying" she's often subjected to "worked" and some were even convinced the "South Park" episode that references her was her sole motivation to get fit.

"Grammy winning singer Lizzo uploaded a before and after of her progress in the gym. Lizzo previously was criticized heavily about pushing unhealthy standards on impressionable children, even South Park jumped in on the jokes for Lizzo by dedicating an entire episode to her in May," another troll wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. " After the SouthPark episode Lizzo announced she would be taking a break from social media and music, it appears that this new outlook on being healthy is a result from cyberbullying."

Another critic wrote, "Maybe she should start making statements on how unhealthy it is and how wrong she was since she pushed that fat positivity 'healthy and beautiful at any weight' garbage to millions of people."

Meanwhile, others have come to Lizzo's defense, with one hitting back, "I've seen a few people making fun of Lizzo's workout video. She has made the decision to improve her health by taking control of her weight. This is to be commended. Making fun of her for losing weight would be akin to mocking a homeless man applying for jobs. Be better."

"Lizzo has never promoted or represented being unhealthy or physically out of shape," a fan clarified. "That was entirely y'alls s**t that was projected onto her and it's pathetic."

"Terrible take," someone responded to the backlash. "Lizzo's fitness has never been up for debate, she jumps, dances, and plays flute through her concerts while belting out songs. She has always promoted health AND body positivity. If your conclusion is 'maybe cyberbullying is good sometimes' you are the problem."

Another tweeted, "What a terribly misleading post and bad narrative to spread. Lizzo has been working out for years and she is also vegan. The only thing cyber bullying achieved was affect her mental health to the point that she almost quit her career."

One other defended the Grammy Award winner, "Lizzo been working out. Yall think she's on stage every night singing, dancing and playing the flute without regular exercise?" Someone else pointed out, "Mind u Lizzo has been working out for years at this point and has posted many clips of her working out, yall just choose to check in when u want to."

Lizzo's body was previously referenced in the aforementioned "South Park" episode titled "The End of Obesity". It is centered on a fictional weight loss drug named "Lizzo," which is given to Cartman as a cheaper alternative to Ozempic. The goal of the drug is to foster positivity and reduce weigh-related expectations.

After viewing the episode which aired in May, Lizzo reacted, "I just feel like, damn, I'm really that b***h. I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k, to the point where these men in Colorado know who I am and put it on their cartoon that’' been around for 25 years. I'm really that b***h and I show you all how to not give a f**k and I'ma keep showing you how to not give a f**k."
