“I didn’t sign up for this s**t. I quit.”
Fans were quick to share their reactions, with one user stating: “Don’t give up! You’re loved! ❤”.
“Enjoy your life, you’ve given a lot of joy. You owe no one nothing and I’m sorry the world was not kinder,” another added.
“Others were seemingly satisfied to see the artists departure, with one user commenting: “then, perhaps don’t abuse your employees…”
“Good byeeeeeeeeee ,” another said.
The revelation comes just one day after the lawyer for Lizzo’s three former dancers slammed President Joe Biden for letting her perform at his $25million Radio City fundraiser on Thursday.
The dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, filed a lawsuit against the artist last August, alleging sexual harassment as well creating a hostile work environment.
