Lizzo Is Leaving Twitter For A While Due To 'Too Many Trolls'

Lizzo is taking a break from Twitter, and she'll be back while she "feels like it."


Unfortunately, that will leave the social media platform feeling like a far less bright and positive place for some time. The pop superstar can routinely be counted on for a nugget of body-positive wisdom and "love yourself" maxims that can habitually lift us up as soon as we need it.


now though, it looks like she needs to take some time out concentrate on her own well-being and self-care, as she took to Twitter with one last post before peacing out.


"Yeah I can’t do this Twitter shit no more.. Also several trolls... ✌🏾," She wrote. "I’ll be back Whenever I feel like it."


 


Immediately after tweeting the news of her hiatus, others chimed in with support, encouraging her to put her block button to good use and to look for the positive, keeping those hater blockers on.


 


Lizzo didn't indicate a specific incident that took place that caused her self-imposed Twitter sabbatical, however in December she noticed herself the target of body-shaming trolls after user @drboycewatkins1 named her in a tweet about "obesity epidemic In the
U.S. Claiming she was popular because she "lies" to people and tells hem they're "just fine the way they are."


The "Truth Hurts" singer didn't stand for this sort of talk, and immediately fired back.


"I'm popular because I write good songs and I'm talented and perform high energy hour along with 1/2 shows filled with love. The only person who needs to do better is you," she tweeted.


"Keep my name out ya mouth & look in the reflect before you come for me," she advised. "Here's a person's eye you sorted Her fans immediately leapt to issue their support, just as they did any time Lizzo reported she could be leaving the platform for the time being.


It isn't clear whether it'll be a day, a month, or perhaps per year before Lizzo comes back to Twitter, nevertheless we'll all be right here waiting for her storied return.
