Lizzo recently took to Instagram and opened up about her mental state amid her legal troubles. In 2023, the Grammy winner was slapped with a lawsuit from her former backup singers, where they accused her of upholding a “toxic” work environment, sexual assault, and more.
“I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and view … 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 — I quit,” she wrote in the post’s caption.
Fans and celebrities alike, inlcuding Paris Hilton, Latoya Luckett, actress Holly Robinson-Pete, and Kid Fury, poured into the singer’s comment section, offering her a few words of encouragement. “You are so necessary, talented and important. You also deserve peace. Whatever makes you happy, I support,” Kid Fury wrote.
“You are deeply loved @lizzobeeating,” Luckett commented. Similarly, Hilton wrote “We love you Queen.”
Robinson-Pete suggested the singer get a ” Beyoncé shut-offf switch.” She added: “Find tools and practices to shut out the noise -it’s possible! All great artists need one especially in this day and age where everyone’s opinions are platformed and amplified.”
However, several folks, inlcuding Azealia Banks, offered much harsher responses. Just last year, the rapper claimed to have ended her beef with the “Special” singer, but it seems to have been reignited.
“I took back my criticism of you because it definitely clicked in my mind that I definitely wasn’t getting my point about the ways in which insidious people in corporate culture [were] positioning you to demean initiatives,” she began.
Banks added, ” Your handle is ‘lizzo be eating….’ You’ve definitely given the public license to laugh at and with you by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub full of skittles.”
