Not only has Lizzo been accused of abusing her dancers, but she’s also a boyfriend stealer. Not a girls girl, after all.
While the support group of women who’ve had their boyfriends stolen by Ariana Grande is growing, one woman is feeling vindicated after Lizzo stole her boyfriend of 10 years.
Brooklyn Elizabeth Brown posted on TikTok about her experiences with the “About Damn Time” singer.
Back in 2016, Lizzo co-hosted an MTV show called Wonderland with comedian-musician Myke Wright. Brown, who was with Wright at the time, felt hostility from Lizzo.

“She was very standoffish and wouldn’t talk to me,” says Brown who soon learned that Lizzo and her boyfriend were messing around. “I was with him for 10 years. I supported him through everything. When he finally got a big break, he left me for Lizzo.”
In the coming years, Brown would be inundated with Lizzo’s music and likeness plastered everywhere. 2019 was not a good year.
“It was like my fight or flight response was triggered every time I heard her song on the radio or like if I went to the movies and her song was in the trailer, it was so difficult and I cried for so long and I felt so depressed,” she admitted.
While Brown doesn’t place all of the blame on Lizzo, that entire event–seeing the text messages and pictures they would send to each other, scarred her.
Wright and Lizzo are still together. In an interview with Vanity Fair last year, Lizzo explained while they were together, she didn’t feel comfortable in a traditional type of relationship.
"People fight for monogamy like they pray to it every day. I am not a polyamorous person, I'm not in love with multiple partners. That is not me. He's the love of my life. We are life mates," she told the magazine.
Brown wishes the best for the couple but can’t help but get her “lick back” after years of hearing people idolize Lizzo as a paragon of positivity and light.
You can’t pay for that kind of vindication.
