I am genuinely devastated about the allegations against Lizzo, I always believe the victims in stuff like this and I'm so sad that someone who was supposed to represent light, positivity and body positivity could be so horrible, she really meant a lot to me. I can only hope that somehow these allegations aren't true but I'm so sad for the victims as well. I've been crying on and off since finding out.

People are entitled to their beliefs, but personally I'm not making up my mind either way based on mere allegations.

People make allegations all the time which get shot down in court. The Johnny Depp and Kevin Spacey cases are two examples.

In this scenario, because the dancers were fired these claims could be mere retaliation.

Either way we don't know and it's far from certain.

That's true, I'm still going to go with believing them and hoping they aren't true. I honestly hadn't considered it could be retaliation.

hugs, you're very sweet to care so much. Take it seriously and hope for justice.

I definitely take it seriously, it's horrible. I hope the victims get some sort of justice. But I'll also hope deep down for it to not be true because as I said, she meant a lot to me as a person.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So weird, such a random thing and this time actually replying to me? Such a bold move.
