Pop behemoth Lizzo, 35, has unquit just days after claiming to have quit, following an emotional tirade where she expressed her exhaustion with criticism from her fans.
She posted on Instagram on Tuesday, “When I say ‘I quit’, I mean I quit giving any negative energy attention.”
The retraction came after Lizzo ended a post on Friday with, “I didn’t sign up for this s***. I quit,” alongside a peace sign emoji.
Lizzo’s public image came under significant scrutiny last August when she and her production outfit were sued by three former members of her dancing crew. Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez accused her of a series of transgressions, including assault, racial and religious harassment, fat-shaming, disability discrimination, and false imprisonment. Their lawyer, Ron Zambrano, responded skeptically to Lizzo’s initial post, suggesting an honest self-examination was required from the artist instead of pointing fingers at the internet for bullying.
