Jillian Michaels is defending her remarks after some Lizzo fans accuse her of body shaming.
The drama started when Michaels -- a personal trainer, fitness expert andseries and got into a conversation with host Alex Berg about celebrities who promote self-acceptance.
When the chat touched on Lizzo's frequent messages of body positivity and self-love, Michaels said that fans should be celebrating the artist's songs, but not her body. "Why are we celebrating her body?” Michaels replied. “Why does it matter? That’s what I’m saying. Like why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes."
"I'm just being honest. I love her music, my kid loves her music, but there's never a moment when I'm like, ‘I'm so glad she's overweight.' Why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?" she added.
