She said:

"All viral ain't good viral. The internet don't know that they think all viral is good viral. It’s not."

She further continued:

"And I’ll be like 'Oh f*ck-, what did I do wrong?' I did something wrong, because I don’t read comments anymore and I don't have context with anything anymore. I live in a bubble."

Lizzo admitted that she stopped scrolling through her comments "about two years ago" because "TikTok comments got so mean." She called the permanent break "liberating."
