Lizzo makes comeback after 'dark' time amid legal battles

Lizzo is making a strong return to the music scene after facing some very challenging times. The talented singer has recently embarked on a mini-tour across the United States and has released two new singles that are already gaining attention. This marks her first live performance in nearly two years, and during her show in Los Angeles, she opened up to her fans about the struggles she has faced. Lizzo revealed that she went through a period of deep sadness and depression after being sued by three of her former dancers, who accused her of harassment and mistreatment. She shared with the audience, 'I went through a dark depression,' expressing how difficult that time was for her. The legal issues have been quite serious, with the dancers seeking a jury trial to address their claims. Lizzo has firmly denied these allegations, stating that they are untrue and that the dancers had previously admitted to inappropriate behavior while on tour. In addition to the lawsuit from her former dancers, Lizzo is also involved in a legal battle with a stylist who has claimed she experienced racial and sexual harassment while working with Lizzo's team. This stylist is also seeking compensation for unpaid overtime. During her concert, Lizzo encouraged anyone who is struggling with depression to reach out for help, saying, 'I say it because it's so hard to do. ' She emphasized the importance of support and connection during tough times. Lizzo is well-known for her hit songs like 'Truth Hurts' and 'About Damn Time,' and she is now on the path to reclaiming her place in the music industry with her new releases. At the concert, she recounted a touching moment when a stranger at a concert hugged her and told her they loved her. This simple act of kindness sparked a wave of support from her fans, and she expressed how powerful that love felt, saying, 'Then it was 10 people, then 100. then 1,000. then it was 10,000 people showering me with love and support. ' Lizzo believes that this kind of love is essential for anyone going through difficult times. The scrutiny she faced in August 2023, when the dancers filed their lawsuit, has been tough, but Lizzo remains resilient. She has stated that the sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who were not acting professionally. Lizzo and her company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, are actively fighting the allegations in court. Recently, she attended the Vanity Fair party after the Oscars, looking stunning in a sculpted black dress. Lizzo has more performances lined up this month in New York and Minneapolis, and she is determined to continue sharing her music and message of self-love and resilience with her fans.
