Three dancers accused the Grammy winner of creating a hostile work environment, sexual harassment and disability discrimination, among other claims.
“These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing,” the Grammy winner, 35, said in a statement“My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.”
“It’s never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren’t valued as an important part of the team.”lizzobeeating/Instagram The “Boys” performer added that she knows what it feels like “to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.”
In February, the “Good as Hell” singer allegedly invited her dancers to a night of debauchery at Amsterdam’s red-light district, known for its sex theaters, sex shops, clubs and bar, per the suit obtained by Page Six. Plaintiff Arianna Davis claimed in the suit that Lizzo pressured her to touch a woman’s naked breast during a tour stop in Amsterdam and also weight-shamed her.The following month, the “Truth Hurts” singer invited her dancers out again during a tour stop in Paris but allegedly failed to mention that the venue they were going to was a nude cabaret bar.
Crystal Williams, another plaintiff, once spoke up after Lizzo allegedly accused the dancers of drinking on the job. She was subsequently fired.The dancers were allegedly “not allowed a break” during the re-audition, which the lawsuit described as “brutal.”
