Lizzo has revealed she became "paranoid and isolated" after ex-staff laid abuse allegations against her.
The Grammy-winning singer shared she became "tired of living" after claims in 2023 that she fostered an abusive working environment for her touring team and was sued by three former backup dancers for alleged sexual harassment.
"You ever get tired of living?" Lizzo, 37, queried when asked about her response to the allegations in an interview with Women's Health published on 1 July.
"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?"
Lizzo also explained the accusations left her questioning how genuine any of her relationships had been.
"You look around and think about every person you've ever known and every experience, and you wonder, Was that real?" she recalled, adding the experience left her unable to open up to people.
"I got very paranoid and isolated. I used to walk into glam and be like, 'Oh, let me tell you about this crazy s**t that happened last night!' I couldn't do that anymore. I pushed everyone away. I wasn't even talking to my therapist. I wasn't present. I wasn't open. I wasn't myself anymore."
