Truth Hurts singer Lizzo posted on Instagram that she was 'quitting' the music industry after sexual harassment claims from her dancers and body shaming comments
The singer's post read: "I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet."
"My character being picked apart by people who don't know me and disrespecting my name. I didn't sign up for this s**t. I quit," she ended her post with a peace sign emoji. Lizzo was sued by some of her backup dancers, who slammed her for creating a hostile work environment and sexual harassment. The Truth Hurts singer - real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson - was named in a lawsuit along with her touring company and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley.
"These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional," she said when the claims were made, "As an artist, I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because, at the end of the day, I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans.
