Lizzo has said "I quit" after facing public ridicule and humiliation following the scrutiny that came after sexual harassment lawsuits were filed against her. The Grammy-winning singer shared an emotional statement on Instagram stating her unfiltered thoughts.
Lizzo Quits
In a statement she shared on Instagram, Lizzo said: "I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet," Lizzo wrote on Instagram. "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 faced intense scrutiny and backlash after three of her former backup dancers filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her. Several other people who used to work with Lizzo have attested to alleged wrongdoings and cruel behavior behind the cameras.
"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]."
Lizzo's big move and statement shocked many, considering that people on social media haven't talked about her in the past few months.
Lizzo Denies Wrongdoings on Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
Since the allegations came to light, Lizzo has denied them all.
"I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days," Lizzo wrote in a statement. "I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not."
Among the complaints in the scathing lawsuit was that she weight-shamed her former backup dancers, among many other scandalous claims.
"There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women worldwide," 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.
On March 18, Lizzo revealed on Instagram that she's putting out new music soon as she's "almost ready" to "be a normal human again... to be outside.. to love and trust people.." again.
