Oh Lizzo! The singer, at her heaviest, was said to weigh about 140 kilos. Yet, she showed off those curves on the red carpet, wearing customised gowns, carrying micro designer bags. Shutting down trolls. She could do no wrong.
Until she did. Earlier this year, news broke that two dancers were suing Lizzo for (of all things) weight-shaming them and creating a hostile work environment. In the fracas, she lost over 150,000 followers on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Ariana Grande's fans (they call themselves Arianators) had a rude shock last month, when they found out that the singer was romantically involved with actor and singer Ethan Slater. Worse, the affair began when both were married. Fans cancelled her with, "Thank U, next".
And all year, news has been spilling that Jimmy Fallon, the affable host of The Tonight Show, is in fact, an erratic, hostile boss.
