All the rumors are true \u2026\u00a0Lizzo<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0looks amazing in a bikini, and we\u2019ve rounded up several of her hottest swimsuit moments over the years to prove it!<\/p>\n Since rising to fame in 2019, the \u201cGood as Hell\u201d artist has become vocal about plus-sized women in Hollywood. However, Lizzo (real name: Melissa Viviane Jefferson) isn\u2019t necessarily preaching \u201cbody positivity\u201d as we\u2019ve come to understand it today.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s lazy for me to just say I\u2019m body positive at this point,\u201d the three-time Grammy Award winner<\/a> told\u00a0Vogue<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in a September 2020 interview. \u201cIt\u2019s easy. I would like to be body-normative. I want to normalize my body.\u201d<\/p>\n Lizzo went on to argue that the commercialization of the body positivity movement<\/a> may have diluted the original message. \u201cNow, you look at the hashtag \u2018body positive,\u2019 and you see smaller-framed girls, curvier girls. Lotta white girls. And I feel no ways about that because inclusivity is what my message is always about. I\u2019m glad that this conversation is being included in the mainstream narrative,\u201d the Detroit, Michigan, native explained.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I don\u2019t like is how the people that this term was created for are not benefiting from it. Girls with back fat, girls with bellies that hang, girls with thighs that aren\u2019t separated, that overlap,\u201d Lizzo added. \u201cGirls with stretch marks. You know, girls who are in the 18-plus club.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to being an international superstar, Lizzo is one of the most popular A-list stars on TikTok. Boasting more than 26 million followers, the \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d singer often uses her platform to test out vegan recipes and rate vegan dishes<\/a> in her area.<\/p>\n In October 2020, Lizzo celebrated her six-month anniversary as a vegan, sharing before-and-after clips. \u201cThis is me at the beginning of quarantine, happy, loving myself, dancing. And, you know what? I\u2019m still that happy girl, loving myself and loving my body,\u201d she assured, referring to lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic. \u201cLove yourself at all stages in your life because you are who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n While speaking with <\/span>People<\/span><\/i><\/a> for their Women Changing the World issue in March 2022, the Emmy Award-winning executive producer<\/a> further opened up about body image and body acceptance, telling the outlet, \u201cI think I have a really hot body! I\u2019m a body icon, and I\u2019m embracing that more and more every day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The cover star continued, \u201cIt may not be one person\u2019s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> might not be someone\u2019s ideal, but she\u2019s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I\u2019m doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard. And one day that will just be the standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
