Lizzo: Everyone Makes Mistakes
There are some celebrities whom you would never anticipate engaging in behavior that would be considered inappropriate, offensive, or even rude to any other person. But the fact of the matter is, even when we have some reason to believe that we know a celebrity, there is never really any way for us to get to know them on a profound level… mainly due to the fact that we are not familiar with them. What steps do you take if you discover that one of your favorite celebrities has been accused of wrongdoing?
In her new song “Grrls,” Lizzo makes use of a word that has a completely different meaning in the field of medicine… As a direct consequence of this, numerous individuals have criticized Lizzo for her actions, accusing her of ableism. We have no reason to believe that Lizzo ever intended to cause harm to another person, much less make use of a derogatory term on purpose while being unaware of its offensive connotations. However, she should be made aware of the consequences of her actions.
