Fans devastated over Lizzo's latest plug: 'Really disappointing'

After recently sharing negative thoughts about her body on social media, Lizzo has been slammed by fans after the singer shared videos of a smoothie detox diet she did over 10 days.

The 32-year-old's followers immediately questioned the singer, who is known to be body-positive, with many upset she would promote a fad diet program.

"I did @jjsmithonline 10-day smoothie detox," she wrote on Instagram alongside two videos of herself as she followed the 10-day program.

In the video, Lizzo is heard saying, "So I drank a lot and I ate a lot of foods and I f***ed my stomach up in Mexico. So, I decided to do JJ Smith's 10-Day Smoothie Cleanse."

"It's just basically, you drink these green smoothies every day," she explained. "It started to get to me mentally, but I was never super hungry. I think I just was wanting to stress eat and do things that were kind of self-harming."

The singer didn’t say whether or not she lost weight on the cleanse, but added, "I feel amazing and I think that it's just great to reset your stomach and reset things, especially when you deal with gastrointestinal issues like I do. I think I look f***ing great too!"

Fans were quick to share their disappointment on her posts.

"Not toxic body culture getting to you now too..." one disappointed fan wrote.

"Hollywood is getting to you gurl," another wrote.

"Detox diets are toxic for your body," someone else added with heartbroken emojis.

"Seeing you promote diet culture is breaking my heart," one fan said.

"You have an organ [liver] that detoxes your body. Cleanses and detoxes are scams, this is actually really disappointing to see," someone commented.

"Whaaat?! No no no! Detoxes don’t work and they definitely do not promote body positivity," yet another upset fan wrote.

Others thought the singer may even be joking about doing the cleanse as it’s so far from her normal message of loving your body and not doing fad diets.

In a TikTok video she shared recently, Lizzo shared some of her negative thoughts about herself, "I came home, and I took my clothes off to take a shower, and I just started having all of these really negative thoughts about myself.

"Like, you know, 'What's wrong with me?' Maybe everything, all the mean things people say about me are true. And, you know, 'Why am I so disgusting?' and hating my body."

"Normally I would have some positive thing to say to get me out of this, but I don't, and that's OK too," she added. "I think these are normal. They happen to everybody. They happen to the best of us. We are the best of us. And I just have to know that tomorrow how I feel in here [she pointed to her head] is gonna change.

"And I can only hope that it changes for the better. But I know I'm beautiful, I just don't feel it. But I know I'm going to get through it."
