“#Jillian Michaels stands by her Lizzo obesity remarks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s hoping Lizzo has a thick skin \u2014 because celebrity fitness savant Jillian Michaels isn\u2019t backing down from her fat-shaming shade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the months since publicly criticizing the curvaceous \u201cCuz I Love You\u201d crooner\u2019s weight<\/a>, Michaels, 47, is standing by her statements against praising overly plump bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But she wishes Lizzo, 33, wasn\u2019t caught in the corpulence crossfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never once actually brought her up, she has been brought up to me,\u201d Michaels explained to Carlos Watson<\/a> of the ongoing controversy surrounding her critique of Lizzo\u2019s full-figured physique.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former \u201cBiggest Loser\u201d coach blasted the Grammy winner for being overweight in a viral clip from January 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter?\u201d Michaels said of Lizzo during an app<\/a>earance on BuzzFeed\u2019s \u201cAM to DM.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Cause it isn\u2019t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes,\u201d the health hotshot added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And while Michaels now regrets targeting Lizzo in her obesity bluster<\/a>, she\u2019s not sorry about denouncing the excess poundage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to separate her from the issue, if at all possible,\u201d a remorseful Michaels told Watson this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I was asked, I should have said, \u2018Let\u2019s separate an individual from a conversation about health.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where her contrition ended.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is genuinely where I went wrong,\u201d the exercise queen continued. \u201cThat is literally the only place that I will tell you that I went wrong if the conversation is about celebrating obesity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michaels added, \u201cObesity is just unhealthy. That\u2019s it,\u201d after advising society to value people for the richness of their character rather than the width of their waistline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She went on to spout facts about fat-induced health complications, saying: \u201cSeven out of 10 Americans are on medication for obesity-related diseases,\u201d and that \u201cobesity is the top contributor to mortality over anything else going on in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A recent study on obesity found that people with high body mass indexes (BMIs) were at an elevated risk of suffering from diabetes, hypertension, a heart attack or stroke \u2014 even if the overweight person leads an active lifestyle as Lizzo does.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michaels acknowledged that her fat fault-finding has made her a foe of the body-positive community. But the workout warrior said she\u2019s cool with being a martyr so long as pitfalls of\u00a0plump-praise are heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are an expert in a category, you have a responsibility to tell the truth,\u201d she said. \u201cWhether it makes you popular or not.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
