If you let her Instagram page tell it, La Toya Jackson had a PERIOD in her late 60s. Her latest adventure appears to be in the Middle East. Over the weekend, the 68-year-old shared flashbacks of herself enjoying Qatar amid the holidays. However, fans in her comments section seemed more attached to her looks, especially her weight loss, than her summary.

Social media reacts to La Toya Jackson’s Qatar video
The video, which La Toya shared on Instagram on December 20, shows her wearing a black bodysuit, a large gold chain belt and a gold necklace. Her light-dark hair was styled straight. But again, it wasn’t her elegant outfit that caught the attention of her fans. Instead, she bragged in her comments section about concerns about her health given what appeared to be severe weight loss.
“Oh wow, what’s wrong with her?” @pretty_cutefinea*s wrote.
@nobodiie_u_knoweee said: “LaToya, darling (and I ask this VERY respectfully and lovingly), what’s wrong, darling? You look TOO frail! I know a lot of people notice but are afraid to ask or bring it up.”
“Oh my god, you need some soul food to last you a month.” @meekmood added.
@ketwoman wrote: “Can we just address the (elephant emojis) in the room!” Something is NOT quite right.”
@laurielopetty said: “Aunt Latoya Jackson, you always look beautiful…please don’t lose weight anymore, aunt…God bless you always.”
“We pray for your health” @nikobrim wrote.
In the meantime, @mo_mo_d0210 has been clocking people, writing, “I see some of you didn’t learn the (poop emoticon) from Chadwick Bosman.” Boseman passed away in 2020 after quietly battling colon cancer. By the time of his death, the actor had lost significant weight. which leads to viral conversations about what was going on behind the scenes.
@marcychinaofficial also showed up. “Just leave her alone! You all make the same comment on every single post! Do you all want her to kill herself or go to sleep? We don’t know if it’s a physical or mental health problem! Just keep your mouth shut about it. Get used to it or don’t look,” said the IG user.
@emoneythebarber warned people: “Be kind‼️ We don’t know what someone is struggling with physically or mentally.”
What else do we know?
Questions and concerns have been floating around among her other IG posts for weeks. Last month, an inside source reportedly told Radar Online that Jackson’s family and friends were concerned about the weight change. Additionally, the report suggests that weight loss is related to the Death of La Toya Jackson’s brother, Tito Jackson. He died in September at age 70 of a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Accordingly The New York TimesJanet Jackson’s rep confirmed the story.
At this time, neither LaToya nor any other family member or friend of Jackson have reached out to comment.
