"What I'm not going to quit is the joy of my life which is making music, which is connecting with people because I know I'm not alone," she added. "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."
The statement came seven months after Lizzo was sued for harassment by some of her former backup dancers in August 2023.
The trio of dancers accused her of creating a hostile work environment, alleging weight-shaming, sexual harassment and disability discrimination while employed by the 35-year-old singer. She vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "false," "outrageous," and "sensationalized stories."
