However how does she really feel about all of this getting stirred up inside the previous week? Nicely, in line with Folks insiders near her staff on Friday, she was “blindsided” by the sudden accusations:
“She’s been constructing and constructing her life and profession, and getting achievement after achievement. It blindsided her and her staff and is a wakeup name that each one of that may be immediately diminished by one thing like this, simply in a single day.”
They’re not mistaken about how rapidly issues imploded! The web clapped again HARD towards the information — with a few of her longtime followers even coming for her on X (Twitter) this week. And her “dismissive” apology did her no favors within the matter, with the backlash solely getting extra intense afterward.

“These previous couple of days have been intestine wrenchingly troublesome and overwhelming and disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Often I select not to reply to false allegations, however these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed. These sensationalized tales are coming from former staff who’ve already publicly admitted that they have been instructed their habits on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
The 35-year-old just about solely addressed the primary problem her ex-dancers had, which numerous her followers took their very own problem with. Social media has been flooded with criticism of her response ever since!
And he or she wasn’t the one one “blindsided” by one thing this week as her personal accusers expressed their shock on the Good As Hell singer’s less-than-impressive feedback.

“Lizzo has failed her personal model and has let down her followers. Her denial of this reprehensible behaviour solely provides to our shoppers’ emotional misery. The dismissive feedback and utter lack of empathy are fairly telling about her character and solely serve to attenuate the trauma she has induced the plaintiffs and different staff who’ve now come ahead sharing their very own damaging experiences. Whereas Lizzo notes it was by no means her intention ‘to make anybody really feel uncomfortable,’ that’s precisely what she did to the purpose of demoralizing her dancers and flagrantly violating the regulation.”
