Renowned artist Lizzo recently took to Instagram to express her weariness with the constant criticism and trolling she faces both online and offline. In a heartfelt post shared on Friday, Lizzo revealed feeling “dragged” by people in her life and on the internet, expressing her desire to focus on creating music, spreading joy, and contributing positively to the world. However, she expressed frustration at dealing with lies, ridicule about her appearance, and having her character dissected by strangers.
Lizzo’s post emphasized her exhaustion with being the subject of false narratives for the sake of clout and views, along with being mocked due to her appearance. She also highlighted the disrespect she faces from those who judge her character without truly knowing her. The post ended with the words “I quit” and a peace sign, leaving some uncertainty about her future plans regarding social media or her music career.

This message from Lizzo came shortly after she faced criticism for performing at a high-profile fundraiser for President Joe Biden, attended by notable figures like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Additionally, Lizzo has been dealing with legal issues following accusations of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment from her former dancers. Despite denying the allegations and being involved in legal proceedings, Lizzo has remained steadfast in defending herself and advocating for women’s respect and dignity.
Despite the challenges she faces, Lizzo has continued to make notable public appearances and achievements, including receiving the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award, presenting at the Grammy Awards, attending the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, and appearing at Vanity Fair’s post-Oscars party in Beverly Hills.
While Lizzo’s post hinted at a possible break from social media or public scrutiny, her determination to focus on her music and positive contributions remains unwavering.
