Lizzo Excluded from Super Bowl Halftime Possibilities Amidst Harassment Allegations

Recently, an exciting opportunity for the acclaimed singer Lizzo seems to have vanished due to recent controversies. Reports indicate that she has been removed from the list of potential performers for the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show following allegations of sexual harassment and body-shaming that have surfaced against her.

The National Football League (NFL) made this decision after facing backlash spurred by these allegations. An insider shared that previous discussions regarding Lizzo’s participation in the halftime show, or even performing the National Anthem, have now been halted as she is surrounded by scandal.

While the list of official Super Bowl performers remains an internal matter, betting circles hint at potential headliners like Miley Cyrus, Harry Styles, and Bad Bunny for the upcoming February 2024 event.

Lizzo, who is currently 35, found herself in a swirl of controversy when several of her backup dancers accused her of creating uncomfortable and inappropriate situations on “The Special Tour.” Serious allegations have been made against her involving body shaming and sexual misconduct, including pressuring dancers into engaging in overly personal and embarrassing situations.

In response, Lizzo took to Instagram to address these serious claims. She expressed her dedication to the respect women deserve and firmly stated, “I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be in recent days.” She highlighted that while she is open about her sexuality and self-expression, she cannot allow it to be used against her.

The situation has left the pop star’s career in uncertainty as more individuals come forward, accusing her of inappropriate conduct. Within her camp, there’s a sense that her flourishing career is now facing significant challenges. A source close to Lizzo remarked that despite her success, “It is becoming more and more difficult with more people alleging inappropriate actions. Lizzo has accrued a substantial fortune, but her time in the limelight appears to be waning quickly.”

For Lizzo, navigating these allegations has become increasingly challenging. Whether she chooses to speak out or remain silent, criticism ensues either way. As it stands, many within the industry are observing to see if she can successfully manage and recover from this setback.
