Lizzo continues to demonstrate that despite all the fame, she’s just like the rest of us, as she opened up in an emotional video clip posted to TikTok.
“You know that part of sadness where you feel like a burden on everyone and annoying and nobody cares about you?” she says in the clip shared on Saturday. “Can we get rid of that part? It’s like, yo, I’m already sad. Got to add insult to injury that I have no one to talk to about it?’ It’s crazy. Like, why do we feel this way? Why do we feel this way when we get sad?”
Lizzo has become a champion for women of all shapes and sizes and, at times, has come under intense scrutiny and ridicule for proudly strutting her bold curves.
She has won three Grammys and rumored to be worth a cool $10 million, but even beloved celebrities have their off days.
“I don’t want to feel this way anymore,” she said while wiping away tears. “I want to feel like I do have someone to talk to, people do care about me. I have love. I’m not alone. That’s what I want to feel, but I don’t feel like that.”
Fans of the singer were left feeling deeply concerned for the star and sent messages of support via their social media pages. She returned to her account hours later, this time more upbeat.
“I’m feeling better. I had a really rough night and a very emotional morning just thinking about my relationships and life,” she explained.
“You know how it is. It gets dark. I’m definitely glad I reached out in any way I could, and TikTok was one of those ways. To feel received and seen and heard really, really helped me. I’m not crying anymore,” she added.
We’ve all been there.
We’re glad Lizzo is feeling a lot better.
