Elon Musk's ex-partner Grimes has revealed her take on Lizzo's recent lawsuit drama, and her message may surprise you. Taking to her former beau's social media site X (formerly known as Twitter), Grimes revealed she wished to send some support Lizzo's way.
"I love Lizzo," her statement began, although she immediately added: "Not saying I don't believe ppl when bad things happen, but I had dancers mistreated on my watch in ways I didn't find out about until way later."

"Lizzo was kind to me and others for a decade before she was "cool" and she checked in [on] me when no one cared. I've only ever seen exemplary behavior from her, especially when everyone was hating on me and she was on top of the world."
"There was no reason for her to check in, besides to be a good person," the 35-year-old, who is a mother of two children who she shares with the Tesla managing director, claimed. "I recall when she first blew up being so happy because I'd never known such an admirable person to find fame in the music industry. I struggle to believe she would have so radically changed," Grimes added, along with a love heart emoji.

Some fans took against the Miss Anthropocene album artist for her comments, suggesting that just because she'd had a positive experience with the 'Juice' singer, this needn't mean the allegations made in the lawsuit were not accurate. Individuals also questioned her claim that Lizzo had nothing to gain from being nice to the singer, but in both cases Grimes responded with further evidence which she wished to reference in Lizzo's defense.

"She was nice to me in like 2012 before anyone cared abt either of us," she added, before also saying: "She checked in while I was cancelled… while I was pregnant when most people abandoned me because they didn't want the association, she was kind when [I] was only a liability to her."
Lizzo herself responded to the lawsuit which was brought against her by three of her former backup dancers on August 3. "I am not the villain," she claimed, while also detailing to her followers on Instagram how "these last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing."

It is also alleged that she fostered a hostile work environment and body-shamed one of the dancers who brought the case against her.
