Actress Roseanne Barr Wants Credit From Lizzo For ‘Paving The Way’ In Hollywood for Plus Size Women

Looks like Roseanne Barr would like some credit from Lizzo after claiming to pave the way in Hollywood as a plus-size entertainer.

This week (June 26) Roseanne Barr, 70, took to Instagram to share a throwback Vanity Fair magazine cover from 1994. In the photo, the Roseanne star is seen posing on a chair while wearing black lace lingerie, thigh-high tights, and black heels.

While reminiscing the 90’s shoot, it appears the sitcom star took the time to share her thoughts on curvy body types represented in the entertainment industry, in which she seemingly wants credit for.

In the caption of the post, Roseanne Barr directly tagged Lizzo and wrote,

“When is @lizzobeeating going to thank me for paving the way. An homage to Botero. Photo by Annie Leibovitz”

As you may already know, singer/songwriter Lizzo, 35, has been vocal for body positivity, confidence, and self-love since the beginning of her career. She has also spoke on the hate she receives frequently online because of her weight.

In a previous interview, Lizzo touched on her goal to change the current beauty standards within the entertainment industry. She said that her body,

“may not be one person’s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone’s ideal, but she’s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I’m doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard.”
