Lizzo Refutes Former Dancers’ Sexual Harassment Allegations

Lizzo has addressed allegations of sexual harassment made by her tour dancers, dismissing them as “sensationalized stories”. Three of the singer’s tour dancers filed a lawsuit earlier this week, claiming that Lizzo had subjected them to sexual, racial, and religious harassment, creating a hostile work environment. In a comprehensive statement shared on social media, Lizzo expressed her disappointment and stated that her work ethic and respectfulness had been questioned. She emphasized that the allegations were false and came from former employees who had already admitted to inappropriate behavior on tour. Lizzo clarified that she never intended to make anyone uncomfortable and that she didn’t see herself as a victim, despite the portrayal by the media. The lawsuit included various claims, such as Lizzo pressuring a dancer to touch a nude performer and conducting an arduous 12-hour audition. It also alleged that Lizzo’s dance captain forced her Christian beliefs on performers and engaged in explicit discussions about her sex life. The dancers also claimed racial harassment from the management. Lizzo, her production company, and the dance captain have been named as defendants in the lawsuit. The dancers recently appeared on CNN This Morning, challenging Lizzo’s denial and describing the incidents they experienced, including being pressured and humiliated. The lawyer representing the dancers, Ron Zambrano, highlighted the contradiction between Lizzo’s public image and her treatment of the performers.
