• Lizzo took her family to therapy to explain to them that she would be using profanity in her songs.
• Lizzo's mom told Vanity Fair she raised her family in a religious home and Lizzo "prepared us for it."

Lizzo's mother told Vanity Fair that the singer took her family to therapy to explain to them that she would be using profanity in her songs.

Sharie Jefferson-Johnson, Lizzo's mom, said she raised her family in a religious home, insinuating that inside the house, no one in the family used curse words.

Jefferson-Johnson noted that when Lizzo started making music, she never used profanity in her songs.

When she was planning to add some raunchy language into her music, Jefferson-Johnson said Lizzo "got the family together, took us to a therapy session, and explained to us that she would be using profanity in her songs."

"She prepared us for it," Jefferson-Johnson told Vanity Fair.

Now, Lizzo's fans are no strangers to profane words in her music, including her hit single "Good as Hell" and a popular line from another single, "Truth Hurts,": "I'm 100% that bitch."

Her latest hit, which recently went number one, "About Damn Time," is a host to more profanity as well.

As for the rest of it — the skimpy outfits and outgoing attitude — Jefferson-Johnson told Vanity Fair she wasn't surprised.

"She was always a free spirit and didn't like clothes, so that was not a surprise at all," Jefferson-Johnson said.

"She is doing what she loves to do, making her own decisions, and really helping people along the way," Lizzo's mom told Vanity Fair. "I'm so proud of her."
