Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, addresses allegations of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, as well as disability discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment. She dismisses these allegations as unbelievable and outrageous, stating that former employees who have accused her have already admitted to inappropriate and unprofessional behavior on tour. Lizzo acknowledges that she takes her art seriously and strives to create the best work that represents her and her fans. She also clarifies that she does not intend to make anyone feel uncomfortable or undervalued, but recognizes the need for high standards. Lizzo asserts that she is neither a victim nor a villain, and expresses her commitment to women’s respect and body positivity. She thanks those who have shown their support during this challenging time. Lizzo’s reputation as an advocate for body positivity and inclusivity is highlighted, mentioning her reality show “Watch Out For The Big Grrrls” through which she hires plus-sized performers. The complaint filed against Lizzo details incidents wherein a dancer’s weight was singled out and recorded meetings were used as grounds for immediate termination due to health concerns. The lawsuit also alleges that performers were pressured to participate in activities, including visiting Amsterdam’s red light district, under the threat of losing their jobs, and were encouraged to touch nude performers at a club called Bananenbar.
