""Y'all believed a headline. It was like, Holy shit, this person, me, the real me, that I've put on display so proudly and fearlessly for so many years, isn't me anymore to the world," she vented, adding that she has always been "very fun," "very flirty," "a little hypersexual, a little boy crazy." Only after said suit were those things suddenly a problem, according to Lizzo."
"Nowhere in the story does Lizzo take responsibility for the allegations, nor does she express regret for how her behavior might've possibly just landed poorly among those who once worked for her. What has she learned over the last year? Well, not to trust people. "I had this scrappy indie-artist brain," Lizzo explained. "But I was a Grammy Award-winning, Emmy Award-winning artist. You can't move in the same way.""
Lizzo says headlines mischaracterized her and that playful, flirtatious behavior was framed as problematic only after a lawsuit. She appealed the dancers' filing in May, calling it an attack on her First Amendment right to perform and advocate for body positivity. She used a metaphor about being turned into a fish to describe being misrepresented and credited herself with popularizing body-positivity, arguing it reflected her actual life. She did not accept responsibility or express regret for the allegations and stated that she now distrusts people as she adjusted to major award-winning status.
