Lizzo Reveals Paranoia, Isolation Amid 2023 Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Lizzo has openly discussed the profound emotional impact following a 2023 sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three former backup dancers accusing her of weight-shaming and misconduct. The Grammy winner described feeling paranoid, isolated, and disconnected from those around her, including her therapist, which led to a period where she nearly questioned the value of her life. Despite never attempting suicide, Lizzo admitted to having suicidal thoughts during this difficult time. Her recovery began after attending Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, where the support from the crowd helped her regain hope and a will to live. Lizzo has since appealed the lawsuit, framing it as an attack on her free speech, while continuing to confront the complex emotions stemming from the allegations and public backlash. The ordeal left her questioning the authenticity of her relationships and deeply affected her mental health.
