Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lizzo, the pop singer behind hit single “Truth Hurts”, has responded to rumours that she once killed a fan during a stage dive.
While completely unfounded, that hasn’t stopped it doing the rounds online.
On TikTok, Lizzo has answered the bizarre claims with a short video in which she says: "So, I’ve seen a lot of annoying things about me on the internet but the thing that bothers me the most is this rumour that I stage dived at a concert and killed somebody.”
She continued: "Like, that rumour, it’s a lie, first of all. I’ve never stage dived in my life and b****, how, like killed somebody?”
“Y’all really gon’ put that on my m************ name? Like, I know I’m big but b****, I’m not that f****** big."
To demonstrate her stagediving skills, the singer then filmed herself belly flopping onto her bed.
If the rumours had been true, she wouldn’t have been the first star to cause injury through a stage dive – Post Malone once jumped into a crowd but nobody was there to catch him.
Lizzo recently told her fans that she wants them to stay six feet away from her at all times and said she did not want to “catch this m************ virus.”
