The singer's latest release also comes after a tumultuous period in her life, during which she opened up about her struggles with depression and faced sexual harassment lawsuits.

In 2023, Melissa Viviane Jefferson, the 36-year-old singer fondly known as Lizzo, was sued by multiple former background dancers who accused her of sexual harassment.

Six additional dancers made similar accusations after the first legal actions were taken. In September, Asha Daniels, a former stylist for Lizzo's “Big Grrrl Big Tour,” filed a separate lawsuit alleging racial and sexual harassment. In December 2024, it was reported that Daniels’ lawsuit had been dropped.

Lizzo still faces ongoing lawsuits from former employees alleging sexual and racial harassment, which she denies and continues to fight against.

To mark the beginning of her new chapter, Lizzo will perform at three intimate fan shows.

She has already graced the Wiltern stage in Los Angeles, where she bravely shared her experiences with depression, revealing that she had been in a “dark, deep depression” and felt heartbroken by the world.

She confessed that her pain had become so overwhelming that she did not want to live anymore.

“I named [my album ‘Love in Real Life’] because about a year and a half ago – it’s so hard for me to talk about – I was in such a dark, deep depression.

“I was so heartbroken by the world and so deeply hurt that I didn’t want to live anymore, and I was so deeply afraid of people that I didn’t want to be seen. “Eventually, I got over that fear,” she emotionally said.
