Summary

Multi-talented singer, rapper, and flutist Lizzo burst onto the scene in 2019 with a series of genre-defying breakout hits like “Truth Hurts” and “Juice.” But as she closed out her 2023 worldwide tour, she found herself at the center of a scandal alleging sexual harassment, body shaming, and physical intimidation. Now, for the first time since the charges were brought against her, she’s ready to talk and tell her side of the story. She’s spilling all the tea in an exclusive conversation on body shaming, cancel culture, and what exactly happened at “Banana Bar” in Amsterdam.
