Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah and Todrick Hall lead the stars urging Lizzo not to quit the music industry after singer said she was turning her back on fame amid sexual harassment case

Lizzo has received a wave of support from stars urging her not to quit the music industry after her shock announcement on Friday. 

The Juice hitmaker, 35, stunned fans when she revealed she was putting fame behind her as she was 'tired of getting dragged by everyone' and being criticised 'because of how I look' in an Instagram announcement. 

Last year in August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez - who accused her of sexual harassment as well as creating a hostile work environment. Lizzo has vehemently denied the claims. 

Amongst the stars rallying around Lizzo are Paris Hilton, Todrick Hall and Queen Latifah. 

Paris, 43, who is good friends with the songstress, wrote on Lizzo's post: 'We love you queen', while Todrick, 38, commented: 'I know it's hard but you inspire so many people! The art you make changes and saves lives. Sending you so much love.'

Queen Latifah simply told Lizzo: 'F that do you' while Destiny Child singer Letoya Luckett commented: 'You are deeply loved'. 

American actor Josh Gad, who played Olaf in Frozen, wrote: 'This is the absolute truth. Hold your head up. The people who shout the loudest or the people who are the most insecure.' 

Azealia Banks told Lizzo to 'change the narrative', saying the songstress has given the public license to laugh at her' with her 'self depreciating posts'. 

She said: 'I took back my criticism of you because it definitely clicked in my mind that I definitely wasn’t getting my point about the ways in which insidious people in corporate culture where positioning you to push demeaning initiatives, but sis…… your handle is “lizzo be eating,” …. 

'You’ve definitely given the public license to laugh at and with you by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub of skittles… Self deprecation was certainly the aesthetic you chose to introduce yourself with. So I don’t see why you’d play victim rather than just stop intentionally inviting people to make jokes about that. You’re a beautiful girl, with a handle on music theory, Grammy awards and tons of success, just change the narrative and go high brow philharmonic on these h**s and collab with ryuchi sakamoto.'

Drag queen Asia O'Hara said: 'Although we don't deserve you, we still need you.'

In her post, Lizzo wrote: '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.

'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 s**t. I quit.'

Her post comes just one day after the lawyer for Lizzo's three ex-dancers that previously sued her for sexual harassment slammed 'shameful' President Joe Biden for letting her perform at his $25million Radio City fundraiser on Thursday. 

Last year in August, the music artist was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez - who accused her of sexual harassment as well as creating a hostile work environment. 

Their lawyer, Ron Zambrano, told NewsNation in regards to Thursday's performance, 'It's shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations.' 

'Without getting into the politics, I can't imagine why anyone would want Lizzo representing them in any way given her reprehensible behaviour. It's just a terrible look.' 

The ex-dancers had also accused Lizzo in the lawsuit filed in August of weight-shaming and claimed that they were forced to touch a nude performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.

The filing stated the trio also accused the Truth Hurts hitmaker of allegedly 'inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers,' inside the club. 

The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, allegedly encouraged 'catching dildos launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas.' 

According to NBC News at the time, the dancers' lawyer, Ron Zambrano, expressed, 'The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly.'

He continued, 'While privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.'

In the lawsuit, accusations and claims were listed in detail, including the Amsterdam club incident.

After the lawsuit came to light, Lizzo broke her silence on Instagram and stated the claims were both 'unbelievable' and 'outrageous.' 

She wrote in a statement, 'These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.' 

'My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.' 

'These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional,' the singer continued. 

'As an artist I have always been very passionate about what I do,' Lizzo said, adding that she takes her music 'seriously.' 

The star wrote that she is not a 'victim' but also not a 'villain,' adding, 'I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not.' 

She concluded with, 'I'm hurt but I will not let the good work I've done in the world be overshadowed by this. I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support to lift me up during this difficult time.' 

Last month in February, Lizzo's request to have the case dismissed was denied by a L.A. County Superior Court judge and ruled the case will continue to go forward.
