While some felt the need to talk about how she appeared unhealthy in their opinion, others felt that, regardless of Joy’s weight, she still faced comments about her appearance.

I know that we shouldn't comment on someone's body, pero this is really out of concern ☹️ i just hope she's okay. weight loss like this and this fast is not healthy and should not be normalize https://t.co/i8jPtGSoxP
