#lizzo quits

[awesomefringey]

Why is the dancer dragging lizzo to the court what happened?

Oh this has been going on since last year. Her former dancers have filed a lawsuit accusing Lizzo of assault, disability discrimination, and sexual harassment.

Lizzo has been brushing off all allegations as false and I think the lack of self awareness and the way she’s brushed it all off, rubbed many people the wrong way. Lizzo might have never intended to harm anyone, yet she should’ve acknowledged that feelings were hurt.

Instead her defense strategy was to be super dismissive about it all and I think many people have decided they won’t let her off the hook about the accusations until she finally does (although we yet have to understand what actually happened). It definitely impacted her IG follower numbers since this is what I was referring to here.

It's a shame if Lizzo feels like she's gotten bullied out of the music industry. But I don't know if the lawsuits accusing her of doing the same thing, and worse, to people have merit. And her responses to everything seem prickly and defensive, like she feels owed positive attention because she's unorthodox.

And that really isn't how it works for anybody. She decided to stake her claim in an industry known for grinding people into the dirt, even if they're white and "perfect." That sucks, but like...they do that shit to everyone. And it isn't like she hasn't reaped the rewards of it.

If she doesn't like it, great, get out of it. It's an awful space. ...But she KNEW that. I don't understand what she expected.

They were never going to stop calling her fat, especially when she leaned into it. Did she think the bullying was going to somehow fade away, especially for her? That was never, ever going to happen, because the industry is dogshit.

Also now it sounds like she is still having serious issues with her own self-image. Maybe that misery led her to bully other people, if those allegations are true? That's a possibility.

I love her art, but it sounds like she really needs to step back and deal with all of this personal stuff. And if she did what she's accused of...she was part of the industry dogshit she hates. THAT'S not doing anyone any favors.

Best idea is to sort it out, outside of the limelight. Fans will wait for her, if she comes back with interesting art, and there is some kind of resolution to the accusations.

She's also allowed to be sick of being "the fat girl" and do something about that. She has the time and means to do that, if she wants.

I kind of hope she sincerely is quitting. Whether she's the good guy or the bad guy here, she clearly needs to work through all the distractions.

"YEAH BUT NOW THE BULLIES WIN!"

It's the music industry. The bullies always win. Because we keep paying them to push new meat into our grinder. Because we eat it up.

Like so many other terrible systems, it's awful and we're responsible for it, but we also really don't care, or we wouldn't engage with it. And we do. So getting snarky about it is just childish virtue-signaling.

Even when we were praising Lizzo, it was us putting unrealistic expectations on her to satisfy our own selfish bullshit. It was still using her.

And she clearly doesn't want to, or can't, deal with our shit anymore.

Lizzo Quits The Hollywood Music Industry

[criminey-christmas]

mark confirmed that the 20k donation from that gamer’s for palestine live stream was him and people are saying, “well he’s still not talking about it”, am i the only one who thinks giving 20 thousand dollars directly into palestinian hands is more impactful than making a post on a defunct social media site asking people with less than a hundredth of his net worth to donate in his name?

Just a friendly reminder that you do not know celebrities in person, and the image they give the public is carefully curated by a team of publicists with a collective salary in the millions of dollars.

anyway i cannot even name one (1) song by lizzo but the way so many of her ~fans seem ready to believe the worst of her no questions asked when so many other (white? thin? mostly male?) artists/famous people have been accused of far worse and were defended tooth and nail by their fans is quite something

[taylorsabrina]

i've never been so disappointed in a celebrity as i am with lizzo.

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

Watching footage of artists create songs is one of my favorite things. I’m just so fascinated by it and love seeing how the song starts out and eventually becomes the thing I am familiar with.

Bro what's the fucking point of it if you're gonna block them anyway after they did the thing you told them to lmaooooo

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

The reason y’all are so confused and baffled by fannita is that you still refuse to acknowledge how bad fatphobia is

Lizzo: Not Quitting?

Lizzo used the same social media used days earlier to say she’s not quitting music. A few days ago, if you recall, the headline was “I quit.” She said she was tired of being dragged, felt she was being bullied. She made it clear she was quitting it all. Now, today, she is clarifying on Instagram in a bathing suit she says she didn’t mean it. The quitting she was talking about was about all the…

Lizzo Says She Quit

OH THIS GIRL IS EATING

[the-technorats]

no amount of money can undo the damage of being groomed for that level of exploitation. people saw how manipulatable, how marketable these boys were when they were sixteen and just wanted any chance they could get to sing; didn't care when they were injured, sick, disordered, addicted, suicidal; as long as they were alive and their bodies were on the stage, they were making money.

but don't think for a fucking second that industry heads like simon cowell etc wouldn't sell tribute merch with liam's face on it if they thought that they could get away with it.

to everyone hating on the lyric ‘you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum I was raised in’. please tell me you get it now. please tell me we’re gonna do what we can to make sure there isn’t a next time
