Lizzo has admitted she got ‘tired of living’ as she opened up about the lowest point of her life while posing on the cover of Women’s Health UK.

The singer, 37, battled depression after she was hit with multiple lawsuits in 2023 from former dancers who accused her of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. 

She dismissed the claims in a statement posted to Instagram shortly after the legal documents were filed, insisting that they were ‘outrageous’ and ‘unbelievable.’ 

That lawsuit was eventually dropped in December 2024, according to a report from The Post. 

Now, in a new interview with Women’s Health UK, Lizzo reflected on that period of her life, which she has often described as her ‘lowest’.

She shared: ‘It got to the point where it’s just like, well… You ever get tired of living?

‘It got to the point where I was like, ‘I could die.’ 

‘I never attempted to kill myself or thought about it, but I did think, ‘If everyone hates you and thinks you’re a terrible person, then what’s the point?’.’

For her cover shoot, Lizzo looked incredible as she showed off her slimmed-down frame in an array of gym wear for a sizzling workout shoot.

The Truth Hurts singer first wowed in a black unitard with a white arm cover before slipping into a burgundy co-ord with a cropped hoodie. 

For her final looks, she turned heads in a white long-sleeved short set while posing with a weighted ball.

Elsewhere in the interview, Lizzo opened up about her body and her struggles with binge eating. 

Over the past 14 months, the star has revealed she’s lost 60 pounds through a combination of diet and exercise.

She admitted: ‘There were times when I would eat so much that my stomach hurt. When I was done, I would be so uncomfortable, I couldn’t breathe and wouldn’t let anyone know.

‘I would hide it. I had so much food noise and connected so much emotion to food. If I was sad, anxious, stressed or working a lot, I would snack and just eat constantly. 

‘And then I would wait for everybody to leave, secretly order two separate meals on a food delivery site, then order dessert on a separate one.’ 

Lizzo added: ‘I like how I look now. I still think I’m big. I’m still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. 

‘I got the same belly, the same thighs – I think I’m just a smaller version. Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same. 

‘Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn’t exist.’ 

The singer also spoke about how she learned to let go of leaning on external validation.

She said: ‘My validation was from external sources, people telling me they loved me, or that I look good, and accepting me…It helped me build self-confidence. 

‘But if that’s all I’m getting my validation from, when it changes – and it will, because people are not always going to like you – what happens? 

‘Where are you going to get your love from? I can convince myself that I’m beautiful, my body fine, no matter how big or small.

‘But reminding myself that you can’t let others tell you who you are – that was hard work.’

On how she now stands with restored confidence and clarity, she said: 

‘There’s a part of me that could easily be exploited and taken advantage of that has been broken off. I don’t miss it… I’m proud of the person I’ve become. 

‘I feel like I’ve turned everything I’ve been through into growth.’
