Documentary filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison says she left a documentary project on Lizzo after being „treated with such disrespect.“
Sophia Nahli Allison, a documentary filmmaker who earned an Oscar nomination for her Netflix short doc “A Love Song for Latasha,” has spoken out against the pop star Lizzo in a series of social media posts, saying she left a documentary project on the singer after being “treated with such disrespect.”
The posts come after three of Lizzo’s former background dancers filed a lawsuit against the singer, accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment among other charges.
“I usually do not comment on anything pop culture related,” Allison wrote in her post. “But, in 2019, I traveled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary. I walked away after about two weeks.”
“I was treated with such disrespect by her. I witnessed how arrogant and unkind she is. I was not protected and was thrown into a shitty situation with little support.
