Lizzo has responded to the recent lawsuit filed by her former backup dancers, addressing the allegations of a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and discrimination.

She explained her work ethic, morals, and respectfulness have been questioned, but she emphasized that she does not intend to make anyone feel uncomfortable or undervalued. Lizzo stated that while she is open about her sexuality, she will not accept her openness being used against her. She acknowledged the seriousness of respecting women and expressed gratitude for the support she has received during this challenging time.

In the lawsuit, dancers Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis, and Noelle Rodriguez accused Lizzo of creating uncomfortable situations and inappropriate outings, including visits to Amsterdam’s red-light district and a nude cabaret bar. The dancers alleged that Lizzo pressured them into participating in activities they were uncomfortable with and subjected them to a harsh re-audition process. The lawsuit also includes allegations against Lizzo’s production company and dance captain.

Since the allegations surfaced, Lizzo has faced online backlash, with some individuals supporting the dancers’ claims and even Beyoncé omitting Lizzo’s name during a performance. The situation continues to unfold as both sides present their perspectives on the matter.
