I didn't think it was possible for my affection for Lizzo to grow any deeper—then she called out TikTok for taking down videos of herself in a bathing suit while continuing to let videos of other women in bathing suits remain on the platform. The best part? She called out TikTok on TikTok.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter posted a hilarious video that spelled out the problem for her 3.4 million followers. "Tiktok keeps taking down my videos with me in my bathing suits. But allows other videos with girls in bathing suits. I wonder why?" she wrote. (PS: She's lip-synching the words "I know" throughout the video—a popular Tik Tok format.) She finishes out with: "Tiktok… we need to talk."

And Lizzo isn't the only one who found TikTok's swimsuit-policing problematic—tons of fans commented on the singer's video to share their support. "It's so disheartening when TikTok picks favorites and discriminates… it happens to me I can't imagine how much more it happens to others," one user wrote. Another added, "IT happens to me too!!! CURVY GIRL PROBLEMS," while someone else even called out others on the app whose bikini videos remain up: "Charlie [sic] in a bathing suit dancing was right below this video," they wrote.

According to the guidelines, "content that shows human genitalia, female nipples, or buttocks" is not permitted. That said, the guidelines don't explain why videos showing Charli D'Amelio in a bathing suit are allowed on the platform—while Lizzo's videos aren't.
