All the whispers turned out to be factual. When Lizzo graced the latest installment of Andy Cohen's SiriusXM radio talk show, "Andy Cohen Live," things took a lively turn. As the host inquired about the "Good as Hell" singer's romantic status with her beau, Myke Wright, she flashed back to a 2022 encounter where Cohen had posed the identical question, merely days before she and her new love had unveiled their relationship to the world.
"I had some serious issues with you then, because the last time we crossed paths, you blatantly outed me!" Lizzo, now 36, reminisced with a chuckle. "That was hilariously awkward."
Cohen, conceding that he had inadvertently "stepped in it" with his inquiry, then prompted Lizzo to elaborate on her emotions during that uncomfortable, live radio moment. "I was in such a peculiar dilemma because we're incredibly private individuals," she elucidated. "Yet, there he was, and I thought, 'I can't say 'no' because I don't want to hurt his feelings.'"
As previously reported by Page Six, Lizzo made her grand red carpet entrance with the musician in June 2022, mere months after her interview with Cohen. Their first public sighting together dates back to 2021, five years after they had co-hosted MTV's "Wonderland."
When Cohen inquired if his question had sparked any rift between her and Wright, the "Truth Hurts" crooner affirmed that despite their private nature, their bond remained unscathed. "It stirred up a storm in the outside world, though," Lizzo clarified with a laugh. "I think when people witness two joyful souls, they have an urge to tear them apart."
During a concert in Los Angeles last week, Lizzo also confessed that she had spiraled into a "dark" phase when multiple sexual harassment lawsuits were filed against her by former background dancers in 2023. She firmly denied the initial allegations leveled against her, branding the lawsuit "outrageous" and "incredible."
"I was shattered by the world's harshness, so deeply wounded that I lost the will to live, and I was terrified of people, to the point where I didn't want to be seen," she revealed to the audience at The Wiltern, as captured in a video shared by a concertgoer on X. "Eventually, I overcame that dread."
Moreover, a racial and sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Asha Daniels, a former stylist for Lizzo's Big Grrrl Big Tour company, was dismissed in December 2024. A source close to the singer informed The Post at the time that she refused to compromise and vowed to "keep fighting" until the "outrageous" claims were proven false.
The "About Damn Time" chanteuse is still grappling with multiple ongoing lawsuits filed by some of her former employees, accusing her of sexual and racial harassment and fostering a toxic work environment. The singer steadfastly maintains her innocence, asserting that the allegations against her are unequivocally false.
