'Our big girls are not-so-big anymore.': Lizzo is worried weight-loss drugs have led to plus-sized women being 'erased'

Lizzo is worried weight-loss drugs have led to plus-sized women being "erased".

The 37-year-old singer declared in a personal essay she is "still a proud big girl" and weighs over 200lbs but she is concerned about the impact of the "Ozempic boom", which she believes has led to "extended sizes" no longer being offered and larger models not getting jobs.

In a post shared to Substack titled: “Why is everybody losing weight and what do we do? Sincerely, a person who’s lost weight", she wrote: “So here we are halfway through the decade, where extended sizes are being magically erased from websites.

"Plus-sized models are no longer getting booked for modeling gigs. And all of our big girls are not-so-big anymore.

"I am still a proud big girl. Objectively Big. Over 200 pounds. And I love myself as much as I’ve loved myself no matter what the scale says."

The Good As Hell hitmaker believes some people embraced the body positivity movement "for financial gain or fame" and she is keen to drive the message away from "commercial slop".

She continued: "There may be some bad actors amongst us. Some people may have used the movement for financial gain or fame, and once it no longer served them they abandoned it."
