Fans are sending messages of love and support to Lizzo after she got candid about experiencing “negative thoughts” surrounding her body image.

In a recent TikTok video, she opens up about not always feeling confident in her own skin: “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."

A little tmi for ur fyp... for anyone who has these thoughts too I hope you have a better day tomorrow

Lizzo recalls thinking: "'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 okay too. I think these [thoughts] are normal. They happen to everybody. They happen to the best of us. We are the best of us."

She adds: “I just have to know that tomorrow how I feel in here 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."

Fans have praised her honesty, with one person writing: “Thank you for being vulnerable here and creating community around real experiences – you are a light,” as another said: “Love how real you are, it’s refreshing.”
