Fans quickly expressed worry after seeing La Toya Jackson’s recent Instagram posts. The 69-year-old appeared strikingly thinner in a series of photos, prompting comments like, “Can I take you to dinner? You need to eat.”
This week, La Toya shared some Monday motivation, posing in a long-sleeved red top, black pants, gold pointy-toed heels, and accessorized with a chunky chain belt, necklace, and bracelet. She captioned the post: “Happy Monday, guys! Wishing you all a fabulous week! Stay safe, healthy, and much love to you all!”
Many fans noted her slim frame, with one writing, “Well, this is scary,” while another asked, “What kind of air does she eat?” Some commented on the Jackson family’s past struggles, reflecting on the trauma they endured.
Others defended her, pointing out that La Toya has always been petite and that muscle loss with age is normal. “The jokes some of y’all are making are really unnecessary and rude,” one fan stated. Another added, “I thought we learned to stop commenting on folks’ bodies. Love ya, Toya.”
La Toya is one of ten famous Jackson siblings, including icons Michael and Janet Jackson. She has released 11 albums and is known for hits like Heart Don’t Lie.
Last month, she shared a vague post from her doctor’s office, hinting at health concerns without giving specifics. Wearing a bright orange cap, matching scarf, and sunglasses, she told fans, “Hi guys, I hope everyone’s doing well. I’m here at the doctor again, so I’m hoping that everything goes well with me, all results are good.” She later posted another video saying, “Guess where I am on this Monday morning? You guessed it—that place again. Constantly getting checkups.”
La Toya attributes her slim figure to a strictly organic, plant-based diet. Speaking to the Daily Mail earlier this year, she explained, “I’m strictly organic. I make sure that everything I eat is organic, and my diet is basically based on plants. It’s a cruciferous diet basically, and that’s what I stick to because this is what God put on the earth for us.” She mainly eats leafy greens, occasionally including chicken.
In addition to her diet, La Toya is reportedly preparing to launch a luxury lifestyle brand in the Middle East, featuring men’s and women’s clothing, shoes, purses, hats, and accessories. She shared, “I’ve been working on it for over a year now, and it’s gonna show a mixture of everything we have… It’s right down my alley, so that’s good.”
Fans remain concerned about her appearance, with one commenting on her latest photos, “What in the starvation is going on here?”
