Motivational internet personality Wizard Liz is at the center of a growing controversy after an emotional live stream in which she revealed she has left the US without her son.
The influencer, whose real name is Lize Dzjabrailova, appeared visibly upset as she confirmed her separation from her child, claiming her ex-partner Landon Nickerson had obtained a restraining order preventing her from taking their son with her when she left the country.
She also claimed that Lanson suggested that she marry for immigration purposes shortly before her departure, 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 on a permanent basis, with Japan being her most likely destination. However, it remains unclear whether her decision was a voluntary one or an inevitable result of the visa issues she mentioned.
As a motivational figure, Liz has faced criticism from her followers who claim she is leaving her son behind. Firing back at critics, she advised women not to make the same mistake their mothers did, but instead to “let go of their child if a man is fighting for custody.”
The situation surrounding her son’s custody remains legally unresolved, as there are no independent, confirmed court documents related to the alleged restraining order. Furthermore, neither Liz nor Landon have released any detailed official statement addressing the legal aspects of the custody dispute.
