Lizzo says she is “quitting” — seemingly the music industry — months after her former backup dancers accused her of sexual harassment, body-shaming and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit.
The 35-year-old “Truth Hurts” singer posted a statement to her Instagram on Friday, telling her 12.1 million followers, “I’m 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. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it,” she wrote.
“I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… 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.”
The four-time Grammy winner, whose unapologetic body-positive messaging helped her star rise, concluded, “I didn’t sign up for this s–t- I QUIT.”
The Post has contacted reps for Lizzo for comment.
