- Lizzo Opens Up About Overcoming Deep Depression she faced due to public backlash and legal battles.
- The singer experienced a transformative moment when a fan expressed love and support in real life.
- Lizzo emphasizes the importance of real-life connections over online interactions for healing.
Lizzo recently spoke out about her struggle with depression at a concert in Los Angeles. She shared that she experienced a difficult time after dealing with allegations of harassment and a toxic work environment with former backup dancers in August 2023.
Although she denied all the claims, she acknowledged the profound effect they had on her mental well-being.
“I call it that because about a year and a half ago — it’s really hard for me to share — I was in such a dark, deep depression,”
she told the audience.

She explained feeling heartbroken and deeply hurt by the situation, leading her to a dark and deep depression where she was afraid of people and didn’t want to be seen. However, she eventually found the courage to overcome her fears.
One significant moment that helped Lizzo was during a concert when a stranger came up to her, expressing love and support, which led to an emotional hug between them.
She described that moment of genuine love from her fans as “life-saving.” This powerful experience fueled the title of her upcoming album, “Love in Real Life,” as she emphasized the significance of real-life connections over those found online.

“I realized you can’t find this kind of love on the internet; it’s the kind of affection that only exists in real life,”
Lizzo pointed out. She encouraged her audience to seek support during tough times, whether they’re dealing with depression or other struggles. Lizzo’s message wasn’t about wanting sympathy; it was about forging connections with others who might be facing similar obstacles.
