Lizzo’s has shared a cryptic message on Instagram bringing up issues about her future in the music industry. The four-time Grammy award winning artist has provoked mixed responses from fans and industry figures.
Her post on Friday March 29, was about how she is feeling like she’s being continually and unjustifiably scrutinized by people all the time.
“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views…being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look…my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”
“I didn’t sign up for this sh*t,” Lizzo concluded. “I QUIT.”
Several industry players and social media users have responded to the singer’s post.
Singer and rapper Latto commented,
“The ppl need u Lizzo. I remember U made me keep going when I wanted to quit before. Ur soul is So pure.” The Lottery singer also added that she is “team Lizzo” for life.
Paris Hilton commented,
“We love you Queen.”
Comedian Loni Love showed her support, writing,
“Girl don’t let them win…stay off the internet…hug up yo man…keep working..”
However, X users did not agree with the above-mentioned celebs in any way, given the sexual and workplace harassment allegations the singer is facing.
Lizzo Has Been Sued For Sexual Harassment, Assault And More
In August last year, Lizzo was sued for supposedly weight-disgracing her former dancers. Plaintiffs Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis, and Noelle Rodriguez, per USA Today, claimed in the lawsuit that they were victims of sexual, racial, and religious harassment, assault, false imprisonment, disability discrimination, and more.
In any case, Lizzo took to Instagram to address the allegations made against her. The singer said that she doesn’t regularly address “bogus allegation” she wanted to do it this time in light of the fact that “these [allegations] are all around as amazing as they sound and excessively silly not to be tended to.”
Lizzo added,
“I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.”
Additionally, she filed a response to the lawsuit the following month, denying ‘each and every allegation contained in the complaint’.
The case is ongoing in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Lizzo’s former wardrobe manager too has accused the singer of engaging in sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, and creating a hostile environment, according to the aforementioned publication.
Elsewhere, amid all this, on Thursday, March 28, the singer took the stage at New York’s Radio City Music Hall for President Biden’s 2024 campaign fundraiser.
