Lizzo has released a statement in response to allegations of sexual harassment and creating a toxic workplace, calling them “outrageous.”
Lizzo has broken her silence on allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination that arose earlier this week, roundly denying the “sensationalized” stories that resulted from a lawsuit by three former dancers who accused the “Truth Hurts” singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile workplace.
“These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized,” Lizzo wrote in a statement on her Instagram. “Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed. These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
The Grammy-winning artist said she takes her work seriously and values high standards, but maintained that her intention has never been to make anyone uncomfortable.
