“On behalf of the Babydoll family, we ask that you give us time to process this tremendous loss. Further details and arrangements will be announced soon.” Season 1 of the WE TV show debuted this summer and documented Lopez’s journey to build and create her beauty salon in Las Vegas, Nevada, which exclusively caters to all bodies.
The series also follows her weight loss and her journey of learning how to walk again after losing 400 pounds. Lopez shared in the show’s trailer that she weighed 846 pounds at one point in her life. Speaking to Yahoo Beauty in 2017, Lopez opened up about what led her to start her business.
“I was inspired that there was no place in Vegas that could do my nails or hair to meet my needs as a plus-size woman, and I decided it was time to make some changes for plus-size women. The world,” she told the outlet at the time.
“My size and lack of space to be beautiful bothers me,” she said. “When women walk away from getting services at my salon, I want them to feel beautiful, confident, and sexy.”
