Source Reveals Singer No Longer Under Consideration For Super Bowl Halftime Show Following Recent Allegations
Note: This story revisits news from August 2023.
In a notable development, reports indicate that Lizzo has been removed from the potential lineup for the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show.
Sources within the National Football League (NFL) revealed that recent allegations of sexual harassment and body shaming contributed to this unexpected decision.
An anonymous NFL insider stated, “The idea of Lizzo participating in the Halftime Show or singing the National Anthem is off the table due to the ongoing controversy.”
While the official list of performers remains undisclosed, betting odds suggest that artists like Miley Cyrus, Harry Styles, and Bad Bunny are leading candidates for the February 2024 event.
At 35, Lizzo is facing significant scrutiny following accusations of body shaming and sexual misconduct raised by former backup dancers during her “The Special Tour.” The lawsuit claims Lizzo created uncomfortable situations, including pressuring cast members to engage in inappropriate acts.
In response to the allegations, Lizzo took to Instagram, stating, “I prioritize respect for women above all.” She rejected the narrative of being either a victim or a villain, highlighting her commitment to self-expression and sexuality while defending her actions.
A close source described Lizzo’s career as a “sinking ship,” indicating that her options are dwindling. “As more individuals come forward with serious accusations, Lizzo, despite her success, seems to be running out of time, and it’s unclear if she can bounce back from this,” the insider noted. They pointed out the challenges she faces, where any statement can attract criticism, and silence may lead to accusations of cowardice. Currently, the future looks uncertain for her.
This latest turn of events raises questions about the future of Lizzo’s career and how ongoing controversies may affect her professional opportunities. Being excluded from a major event like the Super Bowl Halftime Show highlights the serious impact that such scandals can have on an artist’s reputation. As she navigates this critical phase, Lizzo must contend with public perception and an unpredictable future.
