Singer Lizzo posted a video statement to Instagram on Monday in which she said she has had “health crises and episodes” since being sued by her former dancers, but that anti-war and anti-genocide activism has brought her out of a “dark space.”

She began the video by thanking activists working for “the liberation and freedom of people who have been genocided” in Palestine, Sudan and the Congo, before mentioning her own recent issues.

“On a personal note,” she said, “You have activated me. I was in a deep, dark depression. I had some mental health crises and and episodes over the last nine months and I was not present.”
