Williams, in fact, gave an interview Channel 4, stating that: “These words greatly increased the frustration I felt about how he made me feel and how he treated me. The fact is that our experience belongs only to us, as well as our injuries. This answer again lacks respect from a man who advocates female empowerment, mental health, the subject of body positivity. But his statement proves otherwise.

She denied not only our experience that she managed to live on the spot, but also other women who worked with her before us. In this regard, their testimony is not the only testimony of people who had difficulties with her, according to their own statements: after the complaint, filmmaker Sophia Nali Ellison herself came forward, saying that she refused to produce a documentary about Lizzo in 2019 because she felt disrespectfully.
