Lizzo accuses TikTok of removing videos of her wearing bathing suits: 'I wonder why?'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lizzo has something to say.
The 31-year-old singer posted a video on TikTok accusing the app of consistently removing videos that feature her wearing bathing suits.
In the video, Lizzo lipsyncs along to a song that repeats the words "I know" while text appears on the screen.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"TikTok keeps taking down my videos with me in my bathing suits but allows other videos with girls in bathing suits," the text read. "I wonder why?"

Seemingly implying the videos are being removed because of her weight, she added: "TikTok... we need to talk."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The caption contained a single, not-so-happy-looking emoji face.
A rep for TikTok spoke with Fox News, explaining that Lizzo's post was temporarily removed as it was under moderation.
"TikTok is a platform for creativity and it has community guidelines," the rep said. "The video was moderated and IS back up now. It was taken down during the appeals process and was not taken down because of the bathing suit."

The rep continued, saying that Lizzo is "beloved by the TikTok community," and that "her content is not being moderated around body image."
The now-restored video features Lizzo lifting up her dress, revealing a bathing suit. The text over the video reads: "When yall been talkin for awhile... and yall finally ready to smash. She normally wears baggy clothes..."

Lizzo has previously defended herself against critics of her weight, once slamming a Twitter user who claimed that her success was due to an "obesity epidemic."
"I’m popular because I write good songs and I’m talented and perform high energy hour and a half shows filled with love," she clapped back. "The only person who needs to do better is you.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She concluded: “Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the mirror before you come for me. Here’s the attention you ordered.”

Lizzo was also lambasted on social media in early December 2019 after she was seen twerking in a thong while sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game.

“The Laker Girls came out and they started dancing to ‘Juice’ and I just got so excited. And I wanted to show them how much I appreciate and support and love that they wanted to do that for me,” Lizzo explained. “So, I stood up and danced.”
