“La Toya, 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,” one concerned user asked.
“I feel the same way. We all see it. But the ones who seem to deeply care say something about it. It’s extremely worrying….” another said.
A third user added: “It’s difficult to tell someone what to do but this doesn’t look healthy. Mentally, emotionally or physically.”

Others urged fans to be more mindful when commenting on a stranger’s body and avoid jumping to conclusions. “Let’s not judge other people cause we don’t know what this woman has been through in her life and what’s really going on. Instead of us complaining about her circumstance and how she looks we need to be praying for her.”
Earlier this month, La Toya raised concerns with a post that showed her in a mini black dress, revealing her thin arms and legs.

“The last memory of my brother Tito a kind and gentle soul! “ she wrote two days later in a tribute to one of the founding members of the Jackson 5.
“He was trying to capture this moment on his phone to pass it to someone. We will always love you, Tito!”

During the 1980s and 1990s, La Toya achieved success as a solo artist, with her most successful releases being her 1980 self-titled debut album and the single Heart Don’t Lie, from the 1984 album of the same name. She returned to the music industry in 2004 with singles like Just Wanna Dance, Home, and Free the World.
La Toya has participated in many reality shows, including the Food Network’s celebrity edition of Worst Cooks in America, where she won first prize, and the Fox singing reality show The Masked Singer.

The musician was married to her manager, Jack Gordon, for seven years and claimed he had subjected her to physical and mental abuse.
“[Jack] was not a good guy,” she said in a clip from Life with La Toya. “I was brainwashed by him. I really felt like a robot. I was being beaten. He dictated my career choices … He made me say the things that he wanted me to say in my interviews.”
La Toya filed for divorce from Gordon in 1997 after he tried to feature her in a p*rnographic film.
“I never felt really free until, of course, he passed away [from cancer],” she said.
The singer also claimed Gordon had “very strong ties and connection to the mafia.”
