Lizzo Opens Up About Depression, Says Beyoncé's Performance Changed Everything

Pop star Lizzo is sharing how a dark time in her life nearly broke her — and how one powerful moment at a Beyoncé concert helped her find hope again.

In a new interview with "Women's Health," the Grammy-winning artist spoke honestly about falling into depression after being hit with a lawsuit in 2023.

Three of her former backup dancers accused her of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment — claims Lizzo has strongly denied.

The backlash from the public left her feeling alone and uncertain about her future.

"I got very paranoid and isolated," Lizzo said. "I wasn't even talking to my therapist. I wasn't present. I wasn't myself anymore."

The lawsuit, along with another legal claim from her former stylist, deeply affected Lizzo's mental health, The Blast said.

She admitted she began to lose hope, saying, "It got to the point where I was like, 'I could die.'" Although she made clear she never considered suicide, she said she often wondered, "What's the point if everyone hates you and thinks you're a terrible person?"

Things started to shift when Lizzo attended Beyoncé's "Renaissance Tour" in 2023.

Despite being scared that the audience might boo her, what she received instead was kindness. Fans welcomed her, and that moment became a turning point.
