Slimmed-down Lizzo ‘taking a gap year’ and ‘protecting’ her ‘peace’ amid lawsuits

A slimmed-down Lizzo said she is taking some time off after being accused of sexual harassment by former employees.

“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace,” she captioned an Instagram post Sunday.

In the accompanying video, the “Truth Hurts” singer, who is on a trip to Bali, walked to the balcony of her vacation home and silently stood in the rain.

Lizzo, born Melissa Jefferson, flaunted her weight loss in a one-piece black bathing suit.

Fans took to the four-time Grammy winner’s comments section to compliment her appearance.

“Lookin Good Homie!!! U deserve all that U desire!!! lets goooOO!!!!” wrote one user.

“And the body is tea hellloo,” added another.

“You look so at peace, losing weight, taking a step back from life. You wear it well Queen,” commented a third person.

In March, Lizzo hinted she was stepping away from music, writing on Instagram that she was “constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views” and tired of “being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look.”

“I didn’t sign up for this s–t — I QUIT,” she added.

However, the following month, Lizzo clarified that she was not quitting music but instead not giving attention to “negative energy.”

In August 2023, the “About Damn Time” songstress was sued by three of her former backup dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — for creating a toxic work environment and sexual harassment.

In the suit obtained by Page Six at the time, the women alleged “things quickly got out of hand” after “Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas” during a trip to Amsterdam in February 2023.

The flutist denied the allegations, saying the “sensationalized” claims were false.

However, she was then hit with sexual harassment allegations from six additional employees.

Lizzo was also sued by Asha Daniels, who was hired to work in the pop star’s wardrobe department for her 2023 tour. In the complaint, Daniels claimed she was verbally and physically abused by Lizzo’s wardrobe manager, Amanda Nomura.

In September 2023, Page Six exclusively reported that the “Juice” singer asked the LA Superior Court to dismiss the “ridiculous” harassment lawsuits filed against her. She also requested a jury trial.

And last October, Lizzo’s legal team received signed declarations from 18 of her staffers who disputed the claims made against the singer.
