Returning to the music scene after resolving legal challenges - Lizzo's reflections
Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is a renowned artist known for her openness about her sexuality and self-expression. However, she has made it clear that she does not want to be misrepresented by others.
In August 2023, the singer found herself embroiled in legal battles, with three of her backup dancers filing lawsuits against her, alleging sexual harassment, racial harassment, and creating a hostile work environment. Some of these allegations have since been thrown out, while others remain ongoing in court.
Despite the legal battles, Lizzo has continued to make waves in the music industry. In 2022, she released her album Special feeling confident in her place in the music world. However, she felt unprepared for her June mixtape My Face Hurts from Smiling.
The singer has also been reflecting on her return to music and her personal transformation. She has admitted that her return to the music industry after multiple lawsuits and personal struggles has not gone as planned.
Lizzo has been vocal about her physical transformation, expressing pride regardless of the methods used. She has dismissed the idea that her progress should be tied to weight loss drugs or surgery, stating that her weight loss was never about meeting outside expectations.
In a recent interview with Women's Health, Lizzo discussed her mental health, body image, and physical transformation. She described body positivity as "the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist."
The music industry and landscape change every year, according to Lizzo. Reentering the music industry as a pop artist in 2025 has been an interesting experience for her. She needs to release her songs to subvert expectations and create a new discovery, according to her.
Lizzo has sought dismissal of both lawsuits filed by her backup dancers and a former wardrobe assistant. She does not want to be perceived as a victim, but also does not want to be portrayed as the villain by the media.
As of now, there is no recent information available about the current status of the legal proceedings involving Lizzo and her former dancers Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez, and former costume assistant Asha Daniels.
Despite the challenges, Lizzo still considers herself to be a plus-size individual, even after losing weight. She continues to use her platform to promote body positivity and self-expression, reminding her fans to be proud of who they are.
