After posting the video of the performance on TikTok the flow of reaction filled the comment section of the star. The comment pokers made fun of smith’s outfit as well as their body. The comments were especially callous because smith has been open about their identity and struggles with losing weight.

Sam started their weight loss journey in 2015 and consistently lost weight over the following five years. Smith revealed the weight loss journey in which they lost 50 pounds.

In interviews, smith said that they stopped food to control their body and adopted healthy lifestyles and habits that affect their day-to-day life.
