Lizzo Quits Music Following Biden Fundraiser Backlash

Lizzo posted a cryptic "I QUIT" message on Instagram following criticism of her performance at a fundraiser for President Biden, with her attorney calling the booking "shameful" due to pending sexual harassment charges. The pop star expressed frustration with being dragged online and feeling disrespected, but it remains unclear what exactly she is quitting. Lizzo is facing a lawsuit from former dancers alleging sexual harassment, workplace hostility, assault, and discrimination, which she has denied. The lawsuit is currently on hold due to an appeal filed by Lizzo, while her show "Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" has garnered acclaim and won three Primetime Emmys.
