War Lizzo says she 'quits' after 'lies' against her - Thank you Jesus


Lizzo has said she is "quitting" because she is fed up of being targeted for her looks and character online.

In a post on Instagram, the US pop star wrote: "I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."

She did not clarify if this meant she was leaving the music industry or social media.

"I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet," Lizzo wrote.

Her post comes a day after a lawyer representing her former dancers criticised the decision to choose the pop star to headline a fundraising event amid accusations made against her last year.

The dancers' allegations included sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, which Lizzo has denied.

"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 wrote in her social media post.

The Good as Hell singer, 35, said she was "constantly up against lies" which she said were being told about her for "clout & views".

She added she felt she was "the butt of the joke every single time" because of how she looks, and that her character was being "picked apart" by people who don't know her.

"I didn't sign up for this," she concluded. "I quit."

Lizzo is known for celebrating her body and self-love, but has also spoken out in the past about hurtful online comments about her looks.

In May last year, she said she had received a new wave of body-shaming comments on X, formerly Twitter, that included speculation about her diet and whether she eats a lot of fast food.

"Y'all don't know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting," she wrote at the time.

Last August, three of her former dancers sued Lizzo over claims including sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez are the former dancers bringing the case against the singer, her dance captain and her production company.

The legal action includes accusations of sexual, religious and racial harassment, discrimination, assault and false imprisonment.

Lizzo is also accused of fat-shaming Ms Davis on tour.

The singer - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - said the allegations were "false" and as "unbelievable as they sound".

Lizzo was last seen on Thursday where she performed at Radio City Music Hall in New York for a fundraiser for US President Joe Biden.

Lawyer Ron Zambrano, who represents the three former dancers, reportedly told NewsNation: "It's shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations."

BBC News has contacted Lizzo's agent for comment.

Anyone got a self-awareness meter gif?

Seems rather apropos for this administration tbh.

Gonna say there's one more option on what that statement could mean and it's the one this kiwi believes would be the most public-pleasing one.

She also did not clarify if this was for a dopamine hit from hopes of fans and other celebs begging her not to go or kill herself or whatever, but it is.

You know, I already don't remember the names of the ladies who accused her of hostile work environment, even though their names are right there in the article. What I do remember is that they made sexual harassment complaints, which will ultimately make it harder for them to find work. What clout?

She went out of her way to be as woke as possible (her show even had a hideous male troon who they all pretended was a woman) and they still tore her to shreds at the first possible opportunity. There's a lesson to be learned here.

It's the "I'm moving to Canada" ploy - you do it in hopes your imagined fanbase will rise up and beg you not to, maybe a few of them will even graciously sacrifice their lives to end whatever it is that troubles you so much by becoming ANTIFA-style "protestors" and burning down whatever it is that got your panties all twisted? But, if said mob fails to materialize? You get to artfully collapse on your fainting couch for the "betrayal" of the world you worked so hard to just entertain not CARING one bit about you! The pain! The shock! Muh mental health!

Either way, you "win".

You get to be the center of attention.
