She reflected on how she\u2019s been \u201ccanceled\u201d quite a few times\u2014but quickly corrected herself, saying maybe it\u2019s not exactly \u201ccanceled\u201d since she\u2019s still here doing her thing. Instead, she described it more like facing a lot of \u201cbacklash\u201d over the years.<\/p>\n<p>What stood out is how Lizzo has used those tough moments as opportunities to grow and learn. She said, \u201cI use it as a growing and learning lesson,\u201d showing that she\u2019s taken the criticism and turned it into something positive for herself.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know, Lizzo went through a pretty big controversy when she was sued by three former dancers and a stylist who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a difficult work environment. Lizzo has denied all the allegations. In fact, when she appeared on Keke Palmer\u2019s podcast <em>Baby, This is Keke<\/em> last year, she was very clear that she felt she \u201cdid nothing wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the <em>Therapuss<\/em> interview, Lizzo also took a walk down memory lane, recalling a major backlash from 2019. That year, her hit song <em>Good As Hell<\/em> was used in a Weight Watchers ad after Oprah Winfrey bought the company. At first, Lizzo was thrilled\u2014she said, \u201cIt was like, \u2018Oprah wants to use your song!\u2019 I lost my mind. I was like, \u2018Oh my god, Oprah knows who I am!\u2019\u201d She proudly shared the ad, but some people accused her of promoting eating disorders because of the Weight Watchers connection. Lizzo admitted that the criticism hurt her deeply, saying, \u201cIt broke my heart. It truly broke my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Lizzo opened up about her new album, <em>Love in Real Life<\/em>. She described it as a kind of diary chronicling her life between October 2023 and November 2024. She explained that every album she\u2019s ever made has been closely tied to what she was going through personally. But this time, she\u2019s written a song that doesn\u2019t have a \u201chappy ending,\u201d showing a more vulnerable and honest side of her story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lizzo got really open and honest during her chat with Jake Shane on the latest episode of Therapuss.
