Lizzo Says She’s Been Canceled More Times Than a Sketchy Airline Flight — and Honestly, Same

Buy Me A Coffee

It’s time for a lil’ tea from Queen Lizzo herself, who just dropped some real talk with a side of soul-searching sass on the show Therapuss (yes, that’s the actual name, and no, it’s not a cat therapist… I checked).

In the interview, our flute-toting, body-positive icon opened up about surviving the social media guillotine more times than we’ve all rage-quit group chats.

“I’ve been canceled a lot. I shouldn’t say I’ve been canceled, because I’m still going,” Lizzo said, probably while surrounded by crystals and emotional support snacks. “But I’ve gotten backlash a lot. Literally every single time I use it as a growing and learning lesson.”

Translation: Y’all keep throwing tomatoes, and she keeps making salad. Growth salad.

Now, for those of you who were off the grid (or just wisely ignoring Twitter/X chaos), back in 2023, Lizzo faced some spicy lawsuits from former dancers and a stylist, accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work vibe. In 2024, she addressed it all with a firm “I did nothing wrong,” basically giving the energy of a calm HR email with Beyoncé-level confidence.

But let’s take a trip back to 2019 — the year when Lizzo’s anthem Good As Hell was EVERYWHERE, including a Weight Watchers ad after Oprah bought the company. Sounds iconic, right? Lizzo thought so too:

“Oprah wants to use your song,” they said. And I LOST IT. Like full-on ‘ugly crying in public’ lost it,” Lizzo recalled. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, Oprah knows who I am!’”

Because let’s be honest — if Oprah says your name out loud, that’s basically a knighting.

But then came the internet.

“I posted the commercial all proud, and everyone was like, ‘You’re JOKING, right? This promotes eating disorders!’ and I was like, ‘OH NOOOO.’ It broke my heart. It truly broke my heart,” she said, clutching the shards of her crushed optimism.

Basically, she got Oprah-level excited and ended up with Twitter-level roasted. Been there, Lizzo.

Still, despite being “canceled” more often than my gym membership (shout out to January), Lizzo’s not going anywhere. She’s learning, evolving, and twerking through the trauma like the resilient glam goddess she is.

Moral of the story? You can’t cancel someone who already RSVP’d to their own healing party. Lizzo said growth, baby — and she meant it.
