Lizzo, our favorite advocate for body positivity, is back in the spotlight for a relatable moment that many of us can understand. Over the weekend, she took to TikTok to share a funny incident involving her drunken attempt to connect with actor Jake, showcasing just how down-to-earth she really is.
In her TikTok video, Lizzo humorously advised, “Don’t drink and DM, kids,” while revealing a screenshot of her direct message to Jake, which included a trio of emojis: a gust of wind, a water polo player, and a basketball. We’re left curious about the meaning behind that quirky combination, but let’s focus on the highlight of the story.
“The reason I’m upset about this one,” Lizzo remarked in her video, glancing at Jake’s profile, “is that I know I’m never going to marry him. It honestly stings. Because, wow, he’s something special. There’s no comparison.”
Who hasn’t felt that pang of disappointment when faced with the reality that we might never marry our celebrity crush? In this moment, Lizzo perfectly encapsulates the feelings of many fans everywhere.
Interestingly, Lizzo and Jake weren’t even following each other on Instagram at the time, which made the story even juicier.
What made this situation even more delightful was Jake’s actual response. In a duet with Lizzo’s original video, he shared new screenshots showing that he followed her back on Instagram and replied to her playful emojis with, “No shame in a drunk DM,” and a kiss emoji. “God knows I’ve done worse on this app lol.”
This comment is a nod to his infamous incident when he accidentally posted an NSFW photo, which sent the internet into a frenzy. Let’s hope this helped Lizzo feel a little better about her tipsy message. It turns out that celebrities are just like us, navigating the awkwardness of social media, drunken messages, and the occasional slip-up.
