You may have heard over the weekend that singer Lizzo — beset with lawsuits and social media criticism — announced she was quitting show business.
But the legendary Bette Midler begged her not to give up. She wrote: “I can’t believe that the extraordinary #Lizzo has quit the music business. Lizzo, never let the bastards grind you down. You have changed our lives, don’t do this to us, WE NEED YOU!! I’m gonna cry.”
Lizzo wrote:“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.”
She added: “I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views. Being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look … my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.”
Her final line: “I QUIT!”
It’s probably just blowing off steam. But Lizzo ran into problems when some narrow minded people criticized her for performing on Thursday night at Radio City for the re-elect Biden campaign. Presidents Obama and Clinton were there, too.
But Lizzo’s not going anywhere. Her cases will be settled and everyone will go back to their lives. Trust Bette Midler. Her career has gone for 50 years. She sees the big picture!
