Lizzo, amid an ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit, announces a gap year to focus on her mental well-being. The Grammy Award-winning rapper shares her plans on Instagram, signaling a break from music and performances.
Bollywood Fever: Lizzo, the four-time Grammy Award-winning rapper and singer, has announced that she is taking a break to focus on her mental well-being.Â
The revelation comes as she continues to navigate an ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit, which has undoubtedly taken a toll on her peace of mind.
Last year, Lizzo was accused by her former backup dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
The case, which a judge ruled earlier this year could move forward, has been a source of significant stress for the artist.
In an Instagram post, Lizzo shared her decision to “take a gap year” to “protect her peace,” signaling a temporary retreat from the spotlight.
While she didn’t provide further details, it’s presumed that fans won’t be seeing new music or performances from her during this time.
Alongside her announcement, Lizzo posted a serene video of herself at what appears to be a resort in Bali.
In the clip, she is seen in a black one-piece swimsuit, walking barefoot onto a wooden balcony amidst a heavy rainstorm.
Despite the weather, Lizzo looks relaxed, standing with her hands on the railing and eventually raising her arms as raindrops gently fall on her.
The announcement has sparked a variety of reactions from fans, particularly regarding Lizzo’s recent weight loss and the changes in her appearance.
Some fans expressed admiration for her transformation, while others reminisced about her previous look.
One fan commented, “I don’t care what nobody says. Lizzo was gorgeous with the weight, and now, since she lost it, the haters are her biggest fans now, and I don’t like y’all because it’s not genuine.” Another noted, “Soon everybody [is] gonna be talking about how great she looks and how fine she is after they’ve been dogging her about her weight this whole time.”
However, not all responses were supportive of her physical changes. A fan wrote, “Damn, my baby is losing weight. I’m not feeling that. Give me the two years ago, Lizzo. You [are] still sexy, though I can adjust.”
Many fans also voiced their support for Lizzo’s decision to take a break, recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care. One fan wrote, “You deserve it—enjoy! Ignore anyone who does not bring you joy. Strength, peace, and much, much joy to you always.” Another added, “Protect your peace above everything else. Love you,” while a third simply commented, “Take care of you.”
As Lizzo steps away to focus on her well-being, her fans and supporters are sending their best wishes, hoping she finds the peace and strength she needs during her time off. The break marks an important chapter in the artist’s journey, one that prioritizes her mental health in the face of ongoing challenges.
