Lizzo Opens Up About Career Challenges, Mental Health, and Relationship

Grammy-winning artist Lizzo has recently shared candid insights about her personal and professional life, revealing the struggles she's faced with public criticism and her approach to mental health.

In a recent interview, Lizzo reflected on being "canceled a lot" throughout her career, discussing specific incidents including lawsuits from 2023 and backlash from a 2019 Weight Watchers commercial. "It broke my heart," she admitted, though she tries to use these experiences as learning opportunities.

The singer also opened up about her mental health journey on the "Therapuss with Jake Shane" podcast, explaining why she stopped reading online comments two years ago. "Backhanded compliments" and trolling contributed to her anxiety, which she recently experienced even on her 37th birthday. Her decision highlights the toll that online negativity can take on public figures.

On a more positive note, Lizzo shared details about her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright, describing it as a "friends-to-lovers trope." The couple met while working on an MTV show and maintained a strong friendship before things turned romantic. "We had this crazy bond for years," she explained, noting that their foundation as friends allows them to "talk about anything," which has been particularly important given her past struggles with feeling unlovable.
