The 36-year-old singer, who shocked fans when she seemingly quit the music industry in March, donned a swimsuit as she stood on a balcony in the rain in Bali as she reflected on her life.
In March, she wrote on Instagram: “I’m getting tired of putting up with everyone in my life and on the internet dragging me down. All I want to do is make music and make people happy and help make the world a little better than I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”
“I’m always facing lies about myself to gain influence and get views… I’m always the butt of jokes because of my looks. My personality is torn apart by people who don’t know me and don’t respect my name. I didn’t sign up for this shit.”
However, Lizzo later clarified that she would not be leaving the music industry.
She said: “I stopped paying attention to any negative energy. What I’m not going to give up is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting people, because I know I’m not alone.”
Last year, in August, the musical artist was sued by three of her former dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
The former dancers had also accused Lizzo in the lawsuit filed in August of weight-shaming them and claimed they were forced to touch a naked performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.
The filing said the trio also accused the Truth Hurts hitmaker of allegedly “inviting cast members to take turns touching the performers naked” inside the club.
The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, allegedly encouraged “catching dildos thrown from the performers’ vaginas and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”

According NBC News At the time, the dancers’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, said: “The shocking nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated her artists appears to fly in the face of everything Lizzo publicly stands for.”
She continued: ‘Meanwhile, he privately shames his dancers for their weight and degrades them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralising.’
The lawsuit details the allegations and claims, including the Amsterdam club incident. Lizzo has denied all of the allegations.
The appearance follows Lizzo’s recent health journey, where the body positivity pioneer now embraces “body neutrality.”
“The idea of body positivity has moved away from the dominant and outdated conception,” she said. The New York Times in March. ‘It has evolved towards body neutrality.’

However, she confessed to the New York Times that achieving self-love is not always achievable.

Since wrapping up her special tour, Lizzo shared with the outlet that she has shifted her focus to maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise.
“I take time every day to give my body a little love,” she said. “There’s never a day where I regret going for a walk or doing some Pilates.”
“I’ve been methodical and have been losing weight very slowly,” she added.
