'For decades I have said repeatedly that your weight and your size have no bearing or merit on your value, your beauty, your worth, your ability. Where it does have relevance is your health,' said the former 'Biggest Loser' trainer.
The fitness pro and former The Biggest Loser trainer was back in the headlines this week for doubling down on her opinion that “glamorizing obesity” is “dangerous” — even if the person in question is body-positive singer Lizzo. And while Michaels was called “gross” for her comments and accused of body-shaming, she’s standing by her opinion.
Michaels went on to say the overall point she was trying to make in her interview with BuzzFeed News’s live Twitter show AM to DM on Wednesday was “take care of your health because you love yourself... And that we should value people based on their skills and their abilities. It should be irrelevant what size they are. That’s up to them... [Lizzo’s] health is her business.”
And when it comes to Lizzo specifically, “I didn’t even bring her up,” she said, meaning she was asked about her by host Alex Berg.
