Facebook has reportedly begun deleting the accounts of users who have frequently fat-shamed Lizzo since the arrival of her new single.
‘Rumors’, Lizzo’s first single in two years, arrived back on Friday.
On the track the singer takes aim at how her appearance and actions are discussed by the public, and criticised those who spread gossip online.
The singer has been bombarded with online abuse, much of it weight-related or racist, since dropping the track.
The abuse became so intense that Lizzo broke down in tears on Instagram Live.
Now, reports are that Facebook has supported the singer by deleting comments on her Facebook and Instagram accounts that are deemed to violate their policies against hate speech, harassment and bullying.
