La Toya Jackson has plenty of loyal followers speaking up for her. The singer and TV personality got her share of ugly comments online after posting photos of her new appearance on social media.
Her fans were quick to come to her defence amid her look, which, for some, was much thinner than usual. One fan was quick to point out that the Heart Don’t Lie singer is naturally “petite.” They added that it’s normal to lose muscle as you get older, which also causes weight loss.
La Toya Jackson followers called out “unnecessary and rude” comments
La Toya’s fans won’t tolerate any harsh words that internet trolls are throwing at her. In an Instagram post on Monday, the singer showed off a red sweater with black pants and a gold belt in what looked like a hotel lobby. In her caption, she wished everyone a happy Monday and urged them to stay happy and healthy.
Quickly, there were some rude remarks about her weight, with some speculating an eating disorder. Just as many people are speaking out to defend her. “The jokes some of y’all are making are really unnecessary and rude,” replied one of La Toya’s supporters.
There’s been widespread speculation that the Night Time Lover’s health is in decline. In early November, she posted a cryptic Instagram video inside a doctor’s office. She said she hoped everything would go well, leading many to wonder about the 69-year-old’s current physical health.
Her condition has been widely discussed for years, particularly her mental health. She has previously alleged child abuse by her father, Joe, when she was young. She’s also claimed that she was the victim of physical and emotional abuse by her ex-husband, Jack Gordon.
She co-authored an autobiography in 1991 called La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family. In the book, she details alleged abuse and what it was like growing up in a famous household.
