There's been a lot of talk in the last 24+ hours about Lizzo's IG stories showing off the 10-day detox she did. 
 First and foremost, The Fat Girl Show believes in body autonomy. 
Secondly, as a marginalized community, fat people should never intend to bring someone else down. To that end, to ensure no one is being torn down, The Fat Girl Show is sharing some of the many incredible voices speaking up regarding the situation. We encourage you to check out Saucyé West, Stephanie Yeboah, and Tiffriah Grande. 
Thirdly, while a variety of points are being made regarding the inherent politics put upon celebrities, as well as the difference between body positivity, body neutrality, and fat liberation, a discussion that has yet to be reflected upon is the social media aspect of this all.

Essayist and Internet Celeb, Your Fat Friend, revealed on her IG account that retailer H&M released a new plus size printed t-shirt making reference to the iconic TV series Friends, in which a character was previously fat. 

As the writer points out: 

She added on IG that the straight sized version of the tee is just the show logo.

Do better, H&M!

Never one to keep quiet about an injustice, Lizzo posted a TikTok video aimed at her judgmental shamers. The video consisted of work-outs and exercises, with a voice explaining that she's not working out to have your ideal body type. She went on to tell people to mind their own business because that's what she's doing, minding her business.
Instantly earning praise, Lizzo continues to be a leader and advocate for body acceptance, regardless of size, color, or ability. 

Dancer Amanda LaCount popped up on America's Got Talent to show off her killer moves in a popping upbeat dance routine. After sharing her story of being told she was too big to dance (we know she's not the only one who has heard this), Amanda took the stage and proved everyone wrong.
Surprisingly (or maybe not), model Heidi Klum slammed the buzzer mid-routine. The internet and audience were outraged at her decision. Check out the routine below and let us know what you think! 

Body shaming hasn't gone anywhere and Instagram star Katie Sturino is no stranger to the haters. Known for her "Supersize My Look" campaign where she recreates celeb styles in her size, Sturino has recently been rocking some Princess styles.

Known mostly for her clever political commentary, late night host Samantha Bee took on the important issue of fat-shaming in the medical field in a segment titled "Thicc Not Sick". Watch the hilarious, and important, clip below: 

Are you serious? I don't understand why I'm writing about this type of thing again: Another retailer used straight-sized models to promote plus size models, only this time, they had the model STRETCH the fabric to show how large it gets.

K-Mart announced last week that it would be renewing its fast fashion offerings in plus sizes, but with a new twist. They're calling the larger-than-L selection "Fabulously Sized" which reminds me of when Tyra started calling us "fiercely real".  

The Wrap announced Ken Baker's novel, "How I Got Skinny, Famous and Fell Madly in Love" is being adapted into a film and will be directed by actor/director Stefanie Black. 

Iskra Lawrence, best known as the plus size model who stripped down in the subway, was recently criticized for not actually being "plus size". 

While fans appreciate her posting non-retouched photos on her Instagram, they cant' help but point out that she's in no way bigger than the average woman.

Vogue has released their new "diversity" cover for March featuring models Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Ashley Graham, and more. Although this cover has models who are different shades, and even a plus model, many people are speaking out online, calling the magazine out for not being diverse enough.
