Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah and Todrick Hall lead the stars urging Lizzo not to quit the music industry after singer said she was turning her back on fame amid sexual harassment case

Lizzo has received an outpouring of support from stars urging her not to quit the music industry following her shock announcement on Friday.

The Juice hitmaker, 35, stunned fans when she revealed she was leaving fame behind because she was ‘tired of being dragged along by everyone’ and being criticized ‘because of the way I look’ in an Instagram announcement.

Last August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. Lizzo has strongly denied the claims.

Among the stars rallying around Lizzo are Paris Hilton, Todrick Hall and Queen Latifah.

Paris, 43, who is good friends with the singer, wrote on Lizzo’s post: ‘We love you queen’, while Todrick, 38, commented: ‘I know it’s hard but you inspire so many people! The art you create changes and saves lives. Sending you so much love.”

Queen Latifah simply told Lizzo, “F you do,” while Destiny Child singer Letoya Luckett noted, “You are deeply loved.”

American actor Josh Gad, who played Olaf in Frozen, wrote: ‘This is the absolute truth. Keep your head up. The people who shout the loudest or the people who are the most insecure.’

Azaelia Banks told Lizzo to “change the narrative” and said the singer has given public permission to make fun of her for her “self-deprecating posts.”

She said, “I’ve taken back my criticism of you because it certainly clicked in my mind that I absolutely missed my point about the ways insidious people in the corporate culture positioned you to drive demeaning initiatives, but sis…… your handle is “lizzo eats,”….

“You certainly gave the public license to laugh by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub of Skittles… Self-deprecating humor was certainly the aesthetic with which you introduced yourself. So I don’t see why you would play the role of victim instead of just stopping deliberately inviting people to make fun of that. You are a beautiful girl, knowledgeable about music theory, Grammy Awards and lots of success. Just change the narrative and go for the high-brow philharmonic on these h**s and collaborate with Ryuchi Sakamoto.”

Drag queen Asia O’Hara said, “Even though we don’t deserve you, we still need you.”

In her post, Lizzo wrote, “I’m getting tired of being dragged along by everyone in my life and on the internet.

‘All I want to do is make music and make people happy and help the world become a little better than how I found it.

‘But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.

‘I constantly have to deal with lies being told about me because of my influence and views… because I’m the butt of the joke every time because of my appearance.

“My character is being taken apart by people who don’t know me and don’t respect my name.”

“I didn’t sign up for this s**t. I Stop.’

Her post comes just a day after the attorney for Lizzo’s three ex-dancers, who previously sued her for sexual harassment, condemned “shameful” President Joe Biden for allowing her to perform at his $25 million fundraiser for Radio on Thursday City.

Last August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Their attorney, Ron Zambrano, told NewsNation regarding Thursday’s performance, “It is shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such blatant allegations.”

“Without going into politics, I can’t imagine why anyone would want Lizzo to represent them in any way given her despicable behavior. It’s just a terrible look.’

The ex-dancers had also accused Lizzo of weight shaming in the lawsuit filed in August, claiming they were forced to touch a nude performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.

The filing said the trio also accused the Truth Hurts hitmaker of “inviting cast members to take turns touching the naked performers” at the club.

The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, is said to have encouraged “catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas sticking out of the performers’ vaginas.”

According to NBC News The dancers’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, said at the time: “The stunning manner in which Lizzo and her management team treated their artists seems to go against everything Lizzo publicly stands for.”

He continued: ‘While privately she shames and humiliates her dancers in a way that is not only illegal, but absolutely demoralizing.’

The lawsuit listed accusations and claims in detail, including the Amsterdam club incident.

After the lawsuit came to light, Lizzo broke her silence on Instagram, stating that the claims were both “incredible” and “outrageous.”

She wrote in a statement: “The past few days have been incredibly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.”

“My work ethic, morals and respect have been called into question. There is criticism of my character. I usually choose not to respond to false allegations, but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to go unaddressed.”

“These sensational stories come from former employees who have already publicly admitted that their conduct during the tour was inappropriate and unprofessional,” the singer continued.

“As an artist, I have always been very passionate about what I do,” Lizzo said, adding that she takes her music “seriously.”

The star wrote that she is not a “victim” but not a “villain” either, adding, “I am very open about my sexuality and expressing myself, but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to to make something of me. I am not.’

She concluded, “I’m hurt, but I won’t let that overshadow the good work I’ve done in the world. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during this difficult time.’

Last month in February, Lizzo’s request to dismiss the case was denied by an LA County Superior Court judge and ruled that the case would move forward.
