According to Hollywood Life, online trolls tried to attack Sam and their weight after the Unholy singer wore a glittery jumpsuit to perform at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball in London on 10 December.

It's actually gross constantly seeing people tear into Sam Smith for their appearance when there's a lot of us, myself included, who have a similar body type to them. God forbid a queer person dresses/expresses themself unapologetically, apparently only thin people are allowed, said Sam's fan.

The double standards between Sam and Harry was noted by a different fan, who said on Twitter, Sam Smith is a gay nonbinary performer who has been doing this long before Harry yet there were articles and tweets calling Harry a gay icon.' Lets not forget to mention Sam is plus-sized. Y'all just hate queer and fat ppl reports the publication.

And you sit on here hiding behind the avatar of a celeb, spewing hate when you are in fact no better than the people you aim to hold accountable and/or get cancelled on a daily basis .
