“I love Lizzo. I’m not saying I don’t trust people when bad things happen, but I have had instances of dancers being abused underneath me in a way that I found out about much later.,” Grimes wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“But loyalty is important to me.. Lizzo was kind to me and many others for ten years before she became cool and supported me when no one else cared. I saw in her only exemplary behavior, especially when everyone hated me, and she was on top of the world. She had no reason to support me other than to be a good person.”
Grimes added: “I remember when he hit mainstream success, I was overjoyed because I had never known someone so wonderful to achieve stardom in the music industry. I find it hard to believe that she could have changed so drastically, tired of a culture that seeks to destroy her greatest virtues. Lizzo is amazing.”
Complaint of sexual harassment
In a complaint filed Tuesday, August 1, dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noel Rodriguez accuse Lizzo and her Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc. in a variety of negative acts, including body shaming, racial and religious discrimination, and pressure to touch naked dancers during an erotic show.
Director Sophia Nali Ellison also separately stated on social media that she had turned down directing the documentary. With love, Lizzo because the singer “treated her with great disrespect.”
Responding to the allegations, Lizzo called the allegations “false” and “sensational stories”.
“I am not the monster that people and the media have portrayed the last few days,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m very open about my sexuality and the way I express myself, but I can’t let people use that openness to make me look like someone I’m not.”
Criticism of Grimes
One X user disagreed with Grimes’ supportive statement: “It’s because you’re rich and have leverage that Lizzo is a class stalker who doesn’t believe people ‘her level’ deserve respect.”
singer You will miss me when I’m not around he responded by noting that Lizzo “was nice to me before Elon Musk when he was successful and I was still an indie. She was kind to me in 2012 before anyone cared about me or her. She supported me when I was pregnant and most people left me. She was nice when it was just a problem for her. I respect this attitude. He is a good man”.
