La Toya Jackson – the iconic singer and TV personality – recently found herself under a spotlight, but not for the reasons you might expect. Her latest social media photos sparked a flurry of attention, some of it less than kind. However, when the internet trolls came out, La Toya's loyal fans were there to stand up for her.
In a recent Instagram post, La Toya donned a chic red sweater, black pants, and a glamorous gold belt, all set in what appeared to be a stylish hotel lobby. With a caption wishing everyone a happy Monday and urging followers to stay happy and healthy, she probably didn't expect the wave of comments questioning her appearance.
Despite the naysayers, La Toya’s fans were quick to defend her. Many highlighted that the Heart Don’t Lie singer has always been naturally “petite.” They pointed out that it's not unusual for people to lose muscle mass and weight as they age.
A supporter passionately posted, "The jokes some of y’all are making are really unnecessary and rude," echoing the sentiment of many others who were disappointed by the negativity.
"La Toya has always been a small-framed woman, and that's just who she is," another fan chimed in, defending the Night Time Lover's enduring beauty.
Speculation around La Toya’s health isn't entirely new. Earlier this November, she posted a mysterious video from a doctor’s office, sparking questions about her well-being at 69. This isn't the first time her health has been in the spotlight, as conversations about both her physical and mental health have followed her for years.
In the past, La Toya has been open about the struggles she faced growing up in the famous Jackson family. Her 1991 autobiography, "La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family," delves deep into these personal challenges, including allegations of abuse by her father, Joe, and her ex-husband, Jack Gordon.
While the internet will always have its opinions, La Toya’s fans are unwavering in their support, always ready to defend their beloved star.
