Aries Spears Taking some very personal shots at Lizo Regarding her weight and appearance – but the internet is on her side… rushing to defend her en masse.
The comedian gave an interview to The Art of Dialogue, and when they posted an excerpt from it on Friday…the whole thing blew up on Twitter. We’ll say this…what the Aries said is rather mean, and the tone of it completely overshadowed the point he was trying to make.

AS was asked if he thought Lizzo’s music was special in this day and age – but it immediately turned into an insult. He says he can’t get over the fact that she “looks like s*** emoji”… Then he goes on to say that her face is beautiful, but her body is terrible.
Aries goes on to say that praise for her and others – whom he considers fat/unhealthy – are backward… adding that if people were really interested, they would send a different message to the same stars (like Lizzo). ..one more health conscious and honest.
I’m really amazed that Aries Spears had the big mouth audacity to attack Lizzo for being fat. It’s a fat black man who encourages us to use lipophobia as a weapon against Lizzo, and math isn’t just math pic.twitter.com/NCEdaEIfwn

Bill Maher They echoed similar sentiments, but did so with greater tact. Here, Aries is going downhill… and he’s paying for it with some replies on Twitter on Lizzo’s behalf.
Many point to Aries sarcasm criticizing Lizzo’s weight, noting that he himself isn’t the best shape – as the AS also pointed out to FWIW. However, he is met with the same ferocity he threw in Lizu’s direction… with many mocking his appearance.
Others even argue that Lizzo is in great shape – seeing how she can dance, sing, and play the flute in any given group. They say being “fat” doesn’t mean being unhealthy.
Lizzo, of course, opened up about All the hate you get …obviously It caused huge losses. However, she keeps her head high and holds her own power – in this case, she has not yet responded.
