Lizzo is the award-winning musical artist who has also become a leading spokesperson for body positivity. Last Friday, Lizzo announced that she’d had enough of the criticism she receives about her message and her looks. She posted a statement on Instagram saying she was quitting.
It reads in part:
“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,” she wrote, adding that her character is “being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”
Concluding the message, she signed off by writing, “I didn’t sign up for this s—. I QUIT.”
Is she really going to quit the music business? It seems like her spokesperson hasn’t had anything to say since Friday but there are other reasons to think her decision may be more like James Brown being helped offstage by an assistant…
