The About Damn Time singer, 35, stunned fans last week when she posted a statement on social media declaring “I quit”, saying she has been the subject of ridicule online for her looks and her character.
“In no way, shape or form am I the only person who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.” The singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, posted a statement on Instagram on Friday claiming she was “starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it”.She said she was constantly the “butt of the joke every single time because of how I look” and that her character was being “picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name”.
Her statement came a day after a lawyer, who represents three former dancers who filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, said it was “shameful” the singer headlined a Radio City fundraiser for President Joe Biden “amid such egregious allegations”.
