Motivational internet personality Wizard Liz is at the center of growing controversy following an emotional livestream in which she revealed she left the US without her son.
The influencer, real name Lize Dzjabrailova, appeared visibly upset as she confirmed her separation from her child, saying her former partner, Landon Nickerson, had obtained a restraining order that prevented her from taking their son with her when she left the country.
She also claimed that Lanson suggested she marry for immigration purposes shortly before she left, which deeply troubled her.
During the live stream, she said: “I really don’t know what my next move is. »
Liz took to TikTok on May 12, 2026, indicating that she had decided to move to Asia permanently, with Japan being her most likely destination. However, it remains unclear whether her decision was voluntary or an inevitable result of the visa issues she mentioned.
As a motivational figure, Liz has faced criticism from her supporters who claim she is leaving her son behind. Responding to criticism, she advised women not to make the same mistake as their mothers, but rather to “let their child go if a man is fighting for custody.”
The situation regarding her son’s custody remains legally unresolved, as there are no independent, confirmed court records regarding the alleged restraining order. Additionally, neither Liz nor Landon have released a detailed official statement addressing the legal aspects of the custody dispute.
