If you let her Instagram page tell it, La Toya Jackson has been having a TIME in her late 60s. Her latest adventure appears to be in the Middle East. Over the weekend, the 68-year-old shared recap footage of her enjoying Qatar amid the holidays. However, fans in her comment section appeared to be more stuck on her appearance, mainly her weight loss, than her recap.
The video, which La Toya shared on Instagram on December 20, shows her wearing a black bodysuit accessorized with a large gold chain belt and gold choker necklace. Her light-dark hair was styled straight. Again, though, it wasn’t her sleek outfit calling her fans’ attention. Instead, her comment section boasted concerns about her health amid what looks to be severe weight loss.
“Oh wow, what’s going on with her,” @pretty_cutefinea*s wrote.
@nobodiiie_u_knoweee said, “LaToya hunnie (and I ask this VERY respectfully and lovingly) what is going on hun? You look TOO frail! I know many people notice but are afraid to ask or bring it up.”
“Omg baby u need some soul food for a month,” @meekmood added.
@ketwoman wrote, “Can we just address the [elephants emojis] in the room! Something AINT quite right.”
@laurielopetty said, “Auntie Latoya Jackson you always look lovely please do not lose no more weight auntieGods blessings always.”
“Praying for your health,” @nikobrim wrote.
Meanwhile, @mo_mo_d0210 clocked folks, writing, “I see some of y’all ain’t learned [poop emoticon] from Chadwick Bosman.” Boseman passed away in 2020 after silently battling colon cancer. Leading up to his death, the actor had lost a significant amount of weight, causing viral conversations about what was happening behind the scenes.
@marcychinofficial also popped off. “Just let her be! Every single post yall make the same comment! Yall want her to unalive herself or somn? We dont know whether its a physical or mental health issue ! Just shut up about it. Get used to it or dont look,” the IG user said.
@emoneythebarber warned folks to: “BE NICE We dont know what someone could be battling either physically or mentally.”
Questions and concerns have been swirling for weeks under her other IG posts. Last month, an insider source allegedly told Radar Online that Jackson’s family and friends are concerned about the weight transformation. Additionally, the report suggests that the decline in weight is related to the death of La Toya Jackson’s brother, Tito Jackson. He died in September at 70 years old from a heart attack while he was driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. According to The New York Times, Janet Jackson’s spokesperson confirmed the story.
At this time, neither LaToya nor any other Jackson family member or friend has stepped forward to comment.
