The moment news of a lawsuit against Lizzo broke you could practically smell the social media response. Without fail, videos of Tyra Banks screaming “we were all rooting for you” shot to 30,000 likes on Twitter (or “X” if we must), with at least half of the replies claiming they always knew something was off about her. Others quip that they “didn’t see Lizzo being cancelled on their 2023 bingo card”.
And amongst the sea of memes and I-told-you-so’s is something so well-meaning yet just as sinister. Like clockwork, hundreds offload their heartbreak to the masses, devastated that their “fave” is “problematic” in a never ending slew of tweets.
