In a surprising revelation shared on Friday, March 29th, Lizzo, aged 35, announced her departure from the music industry. Taking to Instagram, the renowned singer disclosed her decision to step away from the spotlight, citing exhaustion from enduring constant scrutiny and criticism. Expressing weariness from being subjected to public judgment and ridicule, particularly regarding her appearance, Lizzo lamented feeling worn down by the relentless barrage of negativity.
In her heartfelt post, she conveyed her desire to focus on her passion for creating music and spreading joy, aiming to contribute positively to the world. However, amidst the constant onslaught of falsehoods and derogatory remarks aimed at her, she began to question her place in an unforgiving world that seemed unwelcoming.
Lizzo candidly detailed the toll of enduring slander for the sake of internet notoriety and the incessant mockery directed at her physical appearance. Feeling disheartened by the incessant attacks on her character by strangers who lacked insight into her true self, she expressed her disillusionment with the industry and declared her decision to walk away.
In a poignant conclusion, she reiterated her commitment to self-respect and integrity, asserting that she had not signed up for the relentless onslaught of negativity. With a heavy heart, Lizzo declared her resignation, symbolizing a painful departure from the career she once cherished.
Lizzo has maintained a low profile since allegations emerged last year accusing her of sexually harassing her backup dancers. Her recent public appearance marked her first since the controversy, as she graced the stage at the Grammy Awards last month to present the award for Best R&B Song to SZA.
The singer faced legal action from some of her backup dancers, who criticized her for fostering a hostile work environment and engaging in sexual harassment.
