The Emmy and Grammy award-winning performer Lizzo has announced her potential departure from the entertainment industry through an Instagram post that expressed frustration with being scrutinized and ridiculed online, ending with “I QUIT,” The Guardian reports.
Lizzo has faced both praise and criticism for her body positivity stance and musical success, but has endured fat-shaming and ridicule online. This isn’t the first time she’s faced such negativity, last year she threatened to leave the music industry due to body-shaming comments. The post garnered supportive comments from fans and colleagues, urging her to persevere.
Despite her successful career, including multiple Grammy awards and an Emmy, she’s faced lawsuits alleging sexual harassment, racial discrimination and fostering a hostile work environment by her dancers, which she denies. In a recent post, she expressed excitement about new music but now seems to be reconsidering her future in entertainment.
