Lizzo has long cultivated an image as a champion of body positivity. But three of her former backup dancers are now accusing the star of some truly shocking behavior in an explosive new lawsuit.
The suit describes several troubling incidents said to have occurred while the women were working with Lizzo. It states that the singer drew inappropriate attention to one dancer’s weight gain and subsequently fired her following a recorded meeting about health issues. Her choreographer is also accused of making lewd comments and discussing virginity while strongly promoting religious beliefs.
In addition to sexual harassment, the lawsuit alleges racial harassment, religious discrimination, false imprisonment, and other unlawful conduct. The dancers believe Lizzo knew about their complaints regarding her behavior and that of others on her team. Both the singer and choreographer have denied the allegations.
Some of the most disturbing claims involve events at an Amsterdam strip club, where Lizzo is said to have pressured one dancer into touching a nude performer against her will. The women also describe feeling disrespected when taken to unadvertised nude shows without consent.
The filing describes Lizzo creating a stressful and demeaning environment. She allegedly held an exhausting rehearsal and later fired two of the dancers after disputes. One was publicly dismissed with no other cuts reportedly made. The lawsuit seeks damages for emotional distress and lost wages, portraying Lizzo’s actions in stark contrast to her public persona. As the claims continue to emerge, the singer’s representatives have declined to provide further comment at this time.
