Lizzo 'Snitches' on Postmates Delivery Person for Stealing Food, Receives Backlash

Well, this post surely backfired. Lizzo shared the image of a Postmates delivery driver that allegedly stole her order on Twitter and people aren’t happy. Since the tweet has been posted, she has received thousands of responses telling her why just maybe, this wasn’t the move. With a platform as large as hers, was publicly shaming the girl over $20 worth of Postmates really worth it?

People jumped to the rescue of Tiffany and how Lizzo could be using her platform for better.

Publicly shaming someone in the service industry (esp. when you’re wealthy) is worse than stealing food.

You handled this very poorly sis. Use your platform more responsibly.

This is ridiculous Lizzo, u could have dealt with that privately instead of shaming a woman who was probably hungry… It’s only food u can reorder it

And of course, Postmates competitors jumped into the mix, including DoorDash.
