Lizzo celebrates as fat-shaming claims against her are dismissed
Singer and performer Lizzo has welcomed a legal ruling dismissing claims that she engaged in fat-shaming, calling the allegations “haunting” but expressing relief at their resolution. The lawsuit, which attracted public attention due to Lizzo’s outspoken advocacy for body positivity, has now been officially closed in her favour.
While the dismissal addresses the fat-shaming allegations, Lizzo continues to face separate legal claims related to sexual harassment. Her legal team has stated that they remain committed to defending her against these ongoing accusations and maintaining her reputation.
The fat-shaming case, which has been widely covered in media and social platforms, sparked discussions about body image, celebrity culture, and the scrutiny public figures face. Lizzo, known for promoting self-love and inclusivity, said the resolution allows her to continue advocating for positive messages without the shadow of the lawsuit.
Legal experts note that the dismissal does not prevent further claims in unrelated matters, but it does remove one significant source of legal and reputational pressure. Observers also highlighted how the case reflects broader debates over accountability, public criticism, and the challenges of celebrity life in the digital age.
Fans and advocates celebrated the ruling as a victory for body positivity, while Lizzo herself expressed gratitude for the support she received during the legal proceedings.
