Los Angeles, California – Grammy winner Lizzo has made a shocking announcement on social media, hinting at quitting the music industry amidst a sexual harassment lawsuit that has been swirling around her. In an emotional Instagram post shared on Friday evening, the singer expressed her frustration with the constant scrutiny and negativity she faces both in her personal life and online. Lizzo revealed her desire to spread positivity through her music and make a difference in the world but admitted feeling unwanted in the current environment.
The singer’s statement came shortly after her former backup dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, criticized her for performing at a re-election fundraiser for President Biden. The dancers had previously sued Lizzo in August 2023, alleging a toxic work environment and sexual harassment. Despite maintaining her innocence and denouncing the allegations as outrageous, the accusations continued to mount.
Following the lawsuit becoming public, more individuals, including Lizzo’s former creative director and a documentarian, came forward with similar claims of mistreatment by the singer. Despite the ongoing legal battles and controversies, some employees stood by Lizzo, signing declarations in support of her and disputing the harassment allegations in October 2023.
Despite the ongoing turmoil and backlash, Lizzo made a public appearance at the 2024 Grammys, appearing to be in good spirits. The saga surrounding Lizzo’s music career and the allegations against her continues to unfold, leaving fans and critics alike on edge about the future of the Grammy-winning artist. As the singer navigates through these challenging times, the music industry and fans around the world are left questioning the implications of these serious accusations on her career and reputation.
