Money must not matter to them The optics of destroying BL essentially got an activist fired, and a company to backtrack. Their sales are down 20%.

20% for a week and half, and then will be up 40% as the rednecks have to replace their supply.

Lizzo has had enough.
The four-time Grammy winner took to Instagram Friday evening to share a vulnerable message about feeling like she's being unfairly critiqued.
"I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it," she wrote. "But I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it. I'm constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don't know me and disrespecting my name."
"I didn't sign up for this," she concluded. "I QUIT✌🏾"
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for the singer for comment.
Comedian Loni Love showed her support, writing, "Girl don’t let them win… stay off the internet.. hug up yo man… keep working.." Paris Hilton also chimed in, commenting, "We love you Queen😍👑."
Latto also told Lizzo to shake it off: "The ppl need u Lizzo. I remember U made me keep going when I wanted to quit before. Ur soul is SO pure." She added she's "team Lizzo" for life.

Lizzo's Instagram statement comes amid two lawsuits​

In August, Lizzo was sued for allegedly pressuring and weight shaming her former dancers. Plaintiffs Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis and Noelle Rodriguez claimed in the lawsuit that they were victims of sexual, racial and religious harassment, assault, false imprisonment and disability discrimination, in addition to other allegations.
Later that week, Lizzo took to Instagram to share a statement in which she denied the allegations. The singer wrote that she typically doesn't address "false allegations," but said "these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous not to be addressed." She also claimed the allegations "are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional."
Lizzo added, "I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight."
Her lawyers filed a response to the lawsuit in September denying "each and every allegation contained in the complaint." The cause is ongoing in Los Angeles Superior Court.
A week prior, her former wardrobe manager filed another lawsuit against the musician that accused her, as well as the people who worked on Lizzo's The Special Tour, of alleged sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination and creating a hostile work environment.
Backup dancers' lawsuit: Lizzo sued for 'demoralizing' weight shaming, sexual harassment
"(Lizzo) has created a sexualized and racially charged environment on her tours that her management staff sees as condoning such behavior, and so it continues unchecked," Asha Daniels' lawsuit claimed.
The next day, Lizzo tearfully accepted a humanitarian award at a Beverly Hills gala and seemingly alluded to the lawsuits in her speech.
“Thank you so much for this. Because I needed this right now. God's timing is on time,” Lizzo told the crowd.
Lizzo has made several public appearances since she was hit with these lawsuits last year.
On Thursday, she performed at President Biden's 2024 campaign fundraiser at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Earlier this month, she attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and graced the star-studded red carpet in a brown mini dress.
In February, she returned to the Grammy Awards a year after she took home record of the year for "About Damn Time" to present the best R&B song award to SZA.
