“Love, Lizzo” candidly goes beyond how the proudly plus-size rapper found fame and digs deep into hardships that include being fat-shamed, losing her father, living out of her car and, despite finding success, struggling with online trolls and love woes.
“I’m fully prepared to get criticism when this film comes out, especially on the topic of twerking,” she says. “It’s not just people who hate on me and are fat-phobic who have issues, it’s even people in the culture who understand twerking, they criticize me, too.
If Lizzo is frustrated by her critics, she tries not to let it show. This is a woman on a mission who seems determined to crush any of life’s roadblocks.“I’m built for this life,” she says. “The documentary tries to show that throughout I have always pushed it to the max, always been a hard worker with a goal. I’ve been through so much that winning awards and working on dream projects, that’s not work.
“Hey, it doesn’t get bigger than HBO Max, honey,” she jokes about the platform hosting her doc. But Lizzo has shown a flair for acting, as with her deft comedic guest host performance on"Saturday Night Live" this year. She doesn't wave off the idea, but qualifies it.“I can never just do things for the sake of doing them, so that’s why this first film project I’m putting into the world, well, it’s an intro to who I am,” she says.
