Three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers have accused the pop icon of sexual harassment and of allegedly fostering a hostile work environment, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
, relates to a string of instances of alleged sexual, religious and racial harassment that occurred between 2021 and 2023. It also refers to an occasion when Lizzo – who is known for her body-positive attitude and self-love advocacy – allegedly weight-shamed a dancer.
Though it remains unclear whether Lizzo was aware of her dance captain’s behaviour, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Ron Zambrano, said the three dancers allege she did know about previous complaints made against Quigley. The suit alleges that a member of Lizzo’s security staff forced Davis to remain in the room following this incident so that they could search her phone for the video – something the suit claims was false imprisonment at the hands of Lizzo’s production company.
According to the suit, Rodriguez was allegedly told by a member of the team that “we’ve never had any problems with you,” seeming to imply that as “one of the few members of the dance cast who is not black, [Rodriguez] was not painted with the same generalised and unfounded criticisms as the black members of the dance cast”.
