We have suffered an extraordinary loss and appreciate the time and space to grieve in peace. Please keep our Babydoll family and team high in your hearts and prayers. ‘
Show staff and team members from WE tv and Matador Content thanked “for all their continued support during this difficult time”.
Lopez told Yahoo Beauty in 2017 of her journey: “I started out as a makeup artist and was very discriminated against for being a plus-size woman.”
‘ I was inspired that there was no place I could get my nails or hair done in Vegas that would meet my needs as a plus size woman, and I decided that it was time to make some changes for the plus size women of the world. .’
Lopez said her personal experiences factored into her decision to open a salon.
“It makes me very upset to be mistreated because of my size and not having a place where I can be beautiful,” she said. “When women forgo getting treatment in my salon, I want them to feel beautiful, confident and sexy.”
