Lizzo is responding to the allegations from her former dancers, who this week sued the Grammy winner for alleged harassment, weight-shaming and more.
In the bombshell lawsuit filed Aug. 1, Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis and Noelle Rodriguez list a series of accusations such as discrimination, weight shaming, and sexual harassment that included ‘inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers’ at a club in Amsterdam.
“Yeah, she was there with the dildos and the bananas and the vaginas,” the dancer’s attorney Neama Rahmani told the New York Daily News. “She’s the one that asked everyone to go and everyone felt pressure to go to get along with Lizzo. Telling Arianna to touch the nude woman and telling the security guard to pull down his pants. He was whipped by one of the nude performers. Lizzo was an active participant in all of this.”
The Truth Hurts artist released an Aug. 3 statement denying all allegations in an Instagram post writing, “These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing,” Lizzo posted to Instagram. “My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized.”
“Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed,” she continued.
