Lizzo addressed the headlines-making moment onCBS This MorningThursday, tellingGayle Kingof the negative responses, “It’s their opinion. It’s not for me to really ingest, it’s for them to express and for me to choose to listen to or not.”
“I think no one would have ever saw what I was wearing, like the back of it, if I didn’t get up and dance,” she recalled. “The Laker girls came up to me and said, ‘We’re so excited that you’re here, we want to perform one of your songs for you.’ And I remember I was sitting there and I was with my manager and my friend and they were like, ‘You should get up and dance, they’re doing this for you,’ and I was like, ‘All right.’ ”
“So I got up and just did what I always do. Anyone who knows me knows this is how I’ve always been, this is how I’ve always liked to dress,” she continued, before noting that “contrary to popular belief,” she wasn’t just wearing a thong underneath the dress.
She added, “I had on layers down there, so it wasn’t just flesh to seats.”
