Lizzo clarifies she is NOT quitting music but will no longer give negative people or energy her attention amid legal battles: ‘I’m going to keep being me’

Lizzosharing an alarming Instagram post, in which she declared she ‘quit’ due to nonstop criticism.

After admitting that she was ‘tired of getting dragged by everyone’ over her looks, the 35-year-old superstar jumped on social media to clarify what she meant by saying she ‘quit.’

In her latest video, the four-time Grammy winner appeared on camera as she told fans that she actually meant that she ‘quit giving any negative energy attention.’

‘What I’m not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people, ’cause I know I’m not alone,’ the performer (born Melissa Viviane Jefferson) ᴀssured fans.

She continued: ‘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 Truth Hurts hitmaker went on to say that if she gave even just ‘one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves’ against negative people or comments than she was doing ‘more than’ she ‘could have hoped for.’

‘With that being said, I’m going to keep moving forward. I’m going to keep being me. Once again, I just wanted to say thank you. The love I have received means more than you know,’ she concluded.

Earlier this week, she told her followers that she was ‘getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.’

‘All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it,’ she wrote in a statement. ”But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.’

Lizzo went on to vent that it was frustrating to ‘constantly’ be ‘up against lies’ being told about her ‘for clout & views’ and ‘being the ʙuтт of the joke every single time because’ of her appearance.

‘My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name,’ she concluded. ‘I didn’t sign up for this s**t. I quit.’

Social media users jumped to the comment to share their thoughts on the shock move, with one fan penning, ‘You better not!!!!’

Another simply wrote, ‘Love u. Don’t quit,’ while one follower added, ‘Wait is this an April Fools set up.’

One fan typed, ‘We need you. I need you. ladies need you. the world needs you. We love you. Not everyone likes me and guess what I Don’t Care!!’

An Instagram user penned, ‘Lizzo is having her Brittney moment,’ while one begged, ‘Don’t quit! Never give up!’

Another follower added, ‘Gurl you can’t quit keeping showing that haters who’s boss! You’re untouchably talented and we are grateful you share it with us all.’

‘We love you Lizzo fr. Take some time and take a break. Your music has gotten me thru the hardest of hard times. Keep your head up baby girl,’ a fan wrote.

Her initial post about quitting came just one day after the lawyer for Lizzo’s three ex-dancers that previously sued her for Sєxual harᴀssment slammed ‘shameful’ President Joe Biden for letting her perform at his $25million Radio City fundraiser on Thursday.

In her latest video, the four-time Grammy winner appeared on camera as she told fans that she actually meant that she 'quit giving any negative energy attention'

Last year in August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – who accused her of Sєxual harᴀssment as well as creating a hostile work environment.

Their lawyer, Ron Zambrano, told NewsNation in regards to Thursday’s performance, ‘It’s shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations.’

‘Without getting into the politics, I can’t imagine why anyone would want Lizzo representing them in any way given her reprehensible behavior. It’s just a terrible look.’

The ex-dancers had also accused Lizzo in the lawsuit filed in August of weight-shaming and claimed that they were forced to touch a ɴuᴅᴇ performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.

The filing stated that the trio also accused the Truth Hurts hitmaker of allegedly ‘inviting cast members to take turns touching the ɴuᴅᴇ performers,’ inside the club.

The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, allegedly encouraged ‘catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.’

According to NBC News at the time, the dancers’ lawyer, Ron Zambrano, expressed, ‘The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly.’

He continued, ‘While privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.’

In the lawsuit, accusations and claims were listed in detail, including the Amsterdam club incident.
