‘This kind of abuse of power happens far too often,’ said filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison who was hired by Lizzo to make a documentary about her but quit after two weeks.
Beyond a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, the 44-page complaint also alleges that Lizzo and her team were responsible for assault, racial and religious harassment, disability discrimination and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, the reports said.
Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, Courtney Hollinquest, another former backup dancer, used Instagram Story to say that “this was very much my experience,” the Daily Mail reported. She shared the headline from the NBC News report on the lawsuit, clarified that she wasn’t part of the lawsuit and said, “Big shoutout to the dancers who had the courage to bring this to light.”
Hollinquest’s original post prompted Quinn Wilson, who previously worked as Lizzo’s creative director, to write on Instagram Story that she, too, experienced what the dancers are alleging, the Daily Mail reported. Allison began her post by saying that she does not normally “comment on anything pop culture related,” before sharing that she traveled with Lizzo to be the director of a documentary about her, the Daily Mail reported. After saying she left the job after two weeks, she said, “‘I was not protected and I was thrown into a situation with little support. My spirit said to run as fast as you can and I’m so grateful I trusted my gut.
