Lizzo is speaking out about her health.
The 38-year-old “Truth Hurts” singer spoke out in a new interview about her decision to lose weight.
“There are a lot of reasons. People always want to make it one single headline, one single thing,” she began in an interview with The Guardian.
“A lot of things can be true at once,” she went on to say.
“I was in a place where my physical weight was causing joint pain and aches.”
“I also got to the point where I came off the internet, and all I had was the studio and my thoughts, so I poured myself into the things I could control. My body, my lifestyle, my routines and habits … and this is who I am today,” she added.
Lizzo also addressed weight fluctuations over the years.
“I’ve gained 20 pounds since last year, so everyone can ask me about weight gain, too, if they’d like,” she said.
“There’s a system of oppression that is constantly putting pressure on, especially women and especially women in the spotlight. That system is unrelenting and it is determined to make you feel shit about yourself. It won’t stop until you’ve bought every product and you’ve bought into every lie and turned it in on yourself. That system is working at an all-time high right now.”
“We need to criticize the system and the mediums that are doing this and not the people it’s affecting because those people are human beings having a human experience. We should have grace and love and support for them,” she went on to say.
