In August, Lizzo’s former backup dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — filed a lawsuit against her and her Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., accusing the singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. The allegations against the “Special” hitmaker include her having alleged outbursts, claims that she drew attention to a dancer’s weight gain, pushed several dancers to attend a sex show in Amsterdam and encouraged them to inappropriately engage with the performers, as well as “religious and racial harassment [claims], false imprisonment,” and more.
Lizzo fired back at the “outrageous” lawsuit, denying the claims and “sensationalized stories.” She’s even received support from other fellow artists, including Beyoncé and Grimes.
