Lizzo has come under fire from conservative commentator Candace Owens, who claims that the \u201cGood As Hell\u201d singer is engaging in what she calls \u201cproblematic\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n

Gaslighting is an often-misused term that describes the deliberate and systemic feeding of false information to make the victim question their own reality, which results in the victim doubting their perception and sanity, according to Psychology Today<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

And Owens didn\u2019t use the term in the correct context when she went on The Joe Budden Podcast on Saturday (March 16) to lob the accusations against the embattled singer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like the game<\/a> that people play where they do something that is so obviously outrageous, like, you know, Lizzo in a thong shaking your ass cheeks,\u201d she began. \u201cYou know what that was.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cThis is a. Disgusting, b. Perverted, and people take their kids to the games. Is there no space that\u2019s safe? [\u2026] And then she\u2019s like, \u2018if you don\u2019t like it, that\u2019s your problem.\u2019 Like no, you are being problematic. And now you\u2019re playing the game where you do something outrageous, and then, when we outrage, you pretend that we\u2019re the crazy ones. I\u2019m not dealing with that. Stop gaslighting me, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

Owens app<\/a>ears to be referring to the 2019 moment when Lizzo made headlines for arriving at a Los Angeles Lakers game in an outfit that exposed her fishnet stockings and backside in a thong.<\/p>\n

When the Laker cheerleaders performed a routine to her hit \u201cJuice,\u201d the jumbotron showed Lizzo twerking and showing her thong to the camera. Social media<\/a> erupted with all types of comments from full-on support for her daring outfit choice to fat-shaming.<\/p>\n

More recently, Lizzo has come under fire following a sexual harassment lawsuit brought against her by her former backup dancers, which has temporarily been put on pause.<\/p>\n

Court documents obtained by\u00a0Billboard<\/a><\/em> reveal that Judge Mark Epstein ordered the case to be stayed as of March 7, as Lizzo\u2019s attorneys appealed a ruling against having it thrown out.<\/p>\n

Epstein denied Lizzo\u2019s motion to dismiss because the suit violated California\u2019s anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) laws, which prevent people and corporations from filing frivolous lawsuits to stifle free speech.<\/p>\n

It is expected to take several months for the appeals process to conclude.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month,\u00a0Epstein denied the singer\u2019s motion to throw out her sexual harassment lawsuit\u00a0filed by three of her former backup dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that while certain accusations have been dismissed \u2014 such as claims that Lizzo fat-shamed one of her dancers \u2014 the case as a whole will go to trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is dangerous for the court to weigh in, ham-fisted, into constitutionally protected activity,\u201d the judge wrote. \u201cBut it is equally dangerous to turn a blind eye to allegations of discrimination or other forms of misconduct merely because they take place in a speech-related environment,\u201d Epstein wrote in his decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
