Emmy and Grammy-winning artist Lizzo is done with criticism. Lizzo recently expressed her exhaustion over the constant criticism she faces both online and offline. In an Instagram post shared Friday, she complained about feeling “carried away” by people in her life and on the internet, and expressed her desire to focus on making music and spreading joy. However, she expressed her frustration at being exposed to lies, ridicule based on her appearance and having her character dissected by strangers. Her post ended with the words “I quit” and a peace sign, leaving some confusion about her intentions regarding social media or her music career.
Lizzo wrote: “I’m getting tired of being dragged along by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want to do is 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. I’m constantly dealing with lies being told about me because of my influence and views… being the butt of the joke at every turn because of my appearance. character that is being taken apart by people who don’t know me and who don’t respect my name. I didn’t sign up for this**. I’m quitting.”

Criticism also came from attorneys representing Lizzo’s former dancers, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. However, Lizzo has denied the allegations and is involved in legal proceedings, with the trial currently on hold as she appeals a ruling.

There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world.
