Three former dancers of Lizzo have filed a lawsuit against her, claiming that she and her dance captain created a hostile work environment during her Special Tour this year. The lawsuit alleges that the dancers were exposed to a sexual atmosphere and participated in outings that focused on nudity and sexuality. The lawsuit also claims that Lizzo and her dance captain engaged in sexual and religious harassment, weight shaming, and other inappropriate behavior. The plaintiffs include Lizzo, her production company, and the dance captain. The lawsuit details incidents such as Lizzo inviting employees to touch nude performers and handle sexual objects. Representatives for Lizzo and her production company have not yet responded to the allegations.
The lawsuit also reveals that two of the plaintiffs, Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams, were contestants on Lizzo’s reality show and were subsequently fired. A third plaintiff, Noelle Rodriguez, was hired for Lizzo’s music video and resigned after the firings. The allegations made in the lawsuit seem to contradict Lizzo’s public image of promoting body positivity and inclusivity. The plaintiffs’ lawyer states that Lizzo and her team weight-shamed the dancers and subjected them to demeaning treatment. Some of Lizzo’s statements allegedly made one of the dancers feel compelled to disclose personal details about her life and weight gain.
Despite Lizzo’s positive public image, these allegations could potentially damage her reputation. The plaintiffs’ lawyer suggests that a settlement may be reached due to the difficulty of proving a hostile work environment in the entertainment industry. However, employment discrimination cases in court are typically challenging for plaintiffs. Lizzo, known for her empowering anthems and self-love, has achieved great success since her breakthrough hit “Truth Hurts” and won a Grammy for record of the year.
