Lizzo shared a concerning Instagram post in which she said she &#8220;quit&#8221; because of the constant criticism, but she later emphasized that she had no plans to stop performing music.
Following her admission on social media that she was &#8220;tired of getting dragged by everyone&#8221; due to her appearance, the 35-year-old celebrity clarified her remarks by stating that she &#8220;quit.&#8221;
The four-time Grammy winner informed viewers in her most recent video that she truly wanted to &#8220;quit giving any negative energy attention&#8221; when she came on camera.
&#8220;I know I&#8217;m not alone, so I&#8217;m not going to give up on the joy of my life, which is connecting with people through music,&#8221; the musician, real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson, told her followers.

Following the release of a troubling Instagram post in which she said she had &#8220;quit&#8221; due to constant criticism, Lizzo made it clear that she had no plans to stop creating music.
She continued: &#8216;In no way, shape or form, am I the only person, who is experiencing that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive.&#8217;
The Truth Hurts hitmaker went on to say that if she gave even just &#8216;one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves&#8217; against negative people or comments than she was doing &#8216;more than&#8217; she &#8216;could have hoped for.&#8217;
&#8216;With that being said, I&#8217;m going to keep moving forward. I&#8217;m going to keep being me. Once again, I just wanted to say thank you. The love I have received means more than you know,&#8217; she concluded.
Earlier this week, she told her followers that she was &#8216;getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.&#8217;
&#8216;All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it,&#8217; she wrote in a statement. &#8221;But I&#8217;m starting to feel like the world doesn&#8217;t want me in it.&#8217;
Lizzo went on to vent that it was frustrating to &#8216;constantly&#8217; be &#8216;up against lies&#8217; being told about her &#8216;for clout &amp; views&#8217; and &#8216;being the butt of the joke every single time because&#8217; of her appearance.
&#8216;My character being picked apart by people who don&#8217;t know me and disrespecting my name,&#8217; she concluded. &#8216;I didn&#8217;t sign up for this s**t. I quit.&#8217;
Social media users jumped to the comment to share their thoughts on the shock move, with one fan penning, &#8216;You better not!!!!&#8217;

In her latest video, the four-time Grammy winner appeared on camera as she told fans that she actually meant that she &#8216;quit giving any negative energy attention&#8217;
Another simply wrote, &#8216;Love u. Don&#8217;t quit,&#8217; while one follower added, &#8216;Wait is this an April Fools set up.&#8217;
One fan typed, &#8216;We need you. I need you. ladies need you. the world needs you. We love you. Not everyone likes me and guess what I Don&#8217;t Care!!&#8217;
An Instagram user penned, &#8216;Lizzo is having her Brittney moment,&#8217; while one begged, &#8216;Don&#8217;t quit! Never give up!&#8217;
Another follower added, &#8216;Gurl you can&#8217;t quit keeping showing that haters who&#8217;s boss! You&#8217;re untouchably talented and we are grateful you share it with us all.&#8217;

&#8216;All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it,&#8217; she wrote in a statement. &#8221;But I&#8217;m starting to feel like the world doesn&#8217;t want me in it&#8217; (seen in January 2020 in L.A.)
Her initial post about quitting came just one day after the lawyer for Lizzo&#8217;s three ex-dancers that previously sued her for 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment slammed &#8216;shameful&#8217; President Joe Biden for letting her perform at his $25million Radio City fundraiser on Thursday.
Last year in August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers &#8211; Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez &#8211; who accused her of 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment as well as creating a hostile work environment.
Their lawyer, Ron Zambrano, told NewsNation in regards to Thursday&#8217;s performance, &#8216;It&#8217;s shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations.&#8217;
&#8216;Without getting into the politics, I can&#8217;t imagine why anyone would want Lizzo representing them in any way given her reprehensible behavior. It&#8217;s just a terrible look.&#8217;
The ex-dancers had also accused Lizzo in the lawsuit filed in August of weight-shaming and claimed that they were forced to touch a nude performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.
The filing stated that the trio also accused the Truth Hurts hitmaker of allegedly &#8216;inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers,&#8217; inside the club.
The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, allegedly encouraged &#8216;catching dildos launched from the performers&#8217; vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers&#8217; vaginas.&#8217;
According to NBC News at the time, the dancers&#8217; lawyer, Ron Zambrano, expressed, &#8216;The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly.&#8217;
He continued, &#8216;While privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.&#8217;
In the lawsuit, accusations and claims were listed in detail, including the Amsterdam club incident.

In February, Lizzo&#8217;s request to have the case dismissed was denied by a L.A. County Superior Court judge and ruled the case will continue to go forward
The dancers&#8217; lawyer, Zambrano, told People, &#8216;We&#8217;re very pleased with the judge&#8217;s ruling, and we absolutely consider it a victory on balance.&#8217;

After the lawsuit came to light, Lizzo broke her silence on Instagram and stated the claims were both &#8216;unbelievable&#8217; and &#8216;outrageous&#8217;

Also in February, the star notably made an appearance at the 66th Grammy Awards as a presenter &#8211; which was slammed by the ex-dancers&#8217; lawyer (seen above)
