CBS News reportsย that Foodbank Victoria shared pictures on its Facebook page of the โ€œTruth Hurtsโ€ singer paying a visit to its Melbourne site; not only visiting the staff but helping pack food hampers for those in regions affected by the fires. As of now, the fires have burned through 12.5 million acres, destroyed 2,000 homes and have killed at least 25 people.

Lizzo has become a bizarre beacon of controversy just by simply existing. The misogynoir has come out in full force ever since the singer started taking off last year. In 2019 alone, Lizzo saw her 2017 song โ€œTruth Hurtsโ€ make the climb to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts; she was the musical guest on Eddie Murphyโ€™s critically-acclaimed episode of SNL, and between โ€œTruth Hurts,โ€ โ€œJuice,โ€ and โ€œGood as Hell,โ€ her music was inescapable. Apparently, the fact that a plus-sized black woman is both successful and comfortable in her own skin is just too much for some people to process.

If itโ€™s not the most basic of clowns harassing her on Twitter, itโ€™s Jillian Michaels or Boyce Watkins coming through with some head-ass comments about diabetes. The harassment has gotten so bad that earlier this week Lizzo tweeted that she was taking a hiatus from Twitter due to trolls. If you read some of the replies to that tweet,ย youโ€™ll quickly understand why she left.

Itโ€™s nice to see that despite all her recent turmoil, sheโ€™s out here doing good things and helping those who truly need it.
