Last week, Lizzo took to Twitter to accuse her Postmates delivery driver of stealing her food, and she named the driver and shared a screenshot of her profile picture with her large following. Now the driver is telling her side of the story.
The post got plenty of support, but it also drew heavy backlash from people who felt that publicly exposing a delivery worker could lead to harassment. Lizzo later apologized, writing, “I apologize for putting that girl on blast.” She said she understands she has a large following and that the post could have put the driver in danger, and she promised to be more responsible on social media.
In an interview with TMZ, the driver, who goes by Tiffany, said the post left her humiliated and scared for her life. She told the outlet she was afraid to leave home to go to work. She also said she does not even eat seafood, which is what Lizzo had ordered that night.
According to Tiffany, the order was headed to a hotel in Boston, but it did not include a room number. She said she tried calling the phone number linked to the account and no one picked up. She told TMZ she also reached out to the hotel concierge and waited close to 10 minutes in the lobby before leaving.
Postmates told TMZ that its required wait time is five minutes. A spokesperson for the company also said it looked into the matter as soon as Lizzo reached out and quickly resolved the issue, adding that it apologizes to Lizzo for any inconvenience.
Lizzo had not publicly responded to Tiffany’s interview at the time of this report.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
I hope she sue her wide body a$$, walk yo’ big a$$ down to the lobby. And I’m tired of the media trying to force feed this hungry hungry hippo heffer down our throat because if I hear one more movie or tv trailer with her I’ll go crazy. All I want for Christmas is for somebody to drop-kick this fat b!tch. God Bless
