<p><strong>Roseanne Barr</strong> recently shared that she wants <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lizzo-recounts-living-in-her-car-after-becoming-a-first-time-homeowner-its-a-milestone-for-me/?_gl=1*6xat0h*_up*MQ..*_ga*NzA2MDMzODc0LjE2ODc5NzE5Mzk.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4Nzk3NDQzOC4yLjAuMTY4Nzk3NDQzOC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lizzo</strong></a> to &#8220;thank&#8221; her for &#8220;paving the way,&#8221; though the internet largely disagrees!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Roseanne Barr Questions When Lizzo Will Acknowledge The Comedienne &#8220;Paving The Way&#8221;</h3>
<p>The matter emerged earlier this week, and Roseanne got the ball rollin&#8217; with an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct9zLQlu7mJ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram upload</a>.</p>
<p>The post specifically highlighted photos from her Feb. 1994 <a href="https://archive.vanityfair.com/article/1994/2/really-roseanne" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> profile, which showed Barr sprawled out while posing in some lingerie.</p>
<p>Notably, the Vanity Fair feature in question went down during the run of <em>Roseanne</em>, which wrapped in 1998 before briefly returning in 2018. However—due to <a href="https://variety.com/video/roseanne-canceled-racist-tweets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racist tweets</a> from Barr—the sitcom was canned. Roseanne&#8217;s titular character was ultimately <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/conners-heres-roseanne-killed-off-abc-sitcom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed off</a>, and the remaining cast members starred in <em>The Conners</em>.</p>
<p>Beneath the risqué throwback, Roseanne confidently inquired, <strong><em>&#8220;When is @lizzobeeating going to thank me for paving the way[?]&#8221;</em></strong></p>

<p>As Lizzo has garnered tons of attention for embracing and advocating for <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/pictures/every-time-lizzo-preached-body-positivity-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">body positivity</a> over the years, it appears as though Roseanne wanted her flowers for representing thicker body types back in the day.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Users Shut Roseanne&#8217;s Statement DOWN: &#8220;Missy Was The Blueprint&#8221;</h3>
<p>As people began to catch wind of Roseanne Barr&#8217;s post, they shared their thoughts online.</p>
<p>Largely, people disagreed that Lizzo owed Roseanne any gratitude. Notably, one user dismissed Barr&#8217;s proclamation while acknowledging that <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/missy-elliott-busta-rhymes-lifetime-achievement-award/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Missy Elliott</strong></a> &#8220;was the blueprint.&#8221;</p>

<p>Similarly, another individual pointed out that, when it comes to trailblazing, &#8220;Queen Latifah among several other Black female artists&#8221; are more deserving of a shoutout.</p>

<p>While pushing back against Roseanne Barr&#8217;s post, a user stated, &#8220;When one thinks of Lizzo, absolutely no one thinks of Roseanne paving any roads for her.&#8221; Oop!</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1673846799801491459" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>All in all, it looks like most people didn&#8217;t see the correlation and were unsupportive of Roseanne&#8217;s statement.</p>
