Lizzo has declared that she is quitting amid online criticism and harassment allegations against the “Truth Hurts” singer.
On Friday afternoon, March 29, Lizzo took to social media to express her thoughts in a heartfelt statement.
“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet,” she wrote against an orange and yellow background. “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.”
Lizzo continued, “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 s*** I QUIT [peace out emoji].”
The singer has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons over the past year. She faces a harassment lawsuit filed by three former dancers in August 2023.
Lizzo, a flag bearer of body positivity, was accused by Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez of sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment.
In their lawsuit, one dancer accused Lizzo of calling out her weight gain and firing her for recording a meeting. Other allegations mentioned in the lawsuit included Lizzo falsely accusing dancers of drinking on the job, leading to an “excruciating” audition.
Lizzo has denied those allegations and filed a motion seeking the dismissal of the lawsuit, calling it “meritless and salacious.”
