Lizzo Is Being Sued By The Woman She Accused Of Stealing Her Food Delivery
The woman whom singer-songwriter Lizzo accused of stealing her delivery order back in September is suing the star for libel, emotional distress, and false light invasion of privacy.
Tiffany Wells, 27, on Friday filed court documents against Melissa Jefferson, professionally known as Lizzo. She alleges that the star's insinuation that Wells stole her food caused the woman to fear continuing her work as a delivery person for Postmates, thus directly affecting her livelihood.
In a since-deleted tweet posted two months ago, Lizzo sent the following message to her million-plus following of fans on Twitter: "Hey @Postmates this girl Tiffany W. stole my food she lucky I don't fight no more."
The tweet was accompanied by a screenshot with Wells' face.

Following the incident, Lizzo was criticized by people on Twitter who felt it was inappropriate for her to use her large platform to condemn someone who wasn't on the same playing field.
Lizzo later showed remorse for what had transpired, saying, "I apologize for putting that girl on blast. I understand I have a large following and that there were so many variables that could've put her in danger.
"Imma really be more responsible with my use of social media and check my petty and my pride at the door."
Wells' suit said that she was on the receiving end of "direct threats of violence" and "feared for her physical safety."

Wells' suit went on to say that Lizzo "knew or should have known that her false and defamatory statements would be republished over and over by third-parties," as well as various news media outlets.

and see it's shit like this
it's not comfortable to be overweight, and it's not good
it's not something that should be made fun of, but also not something to be praised
alot of ppl die everyday from being overweight and she's actually encouraging blk women to eat more, 'Zelia crazy ass was right... THE Millennium Mammie for the new generation of white turds
It's very concerning that you have such disdain for our beautiful Black women Bent, like Normani and Lizzo
we need to uplift our sisters not tear them down. You're sounding kinda MAGA-ish
