The lawsuit filed against Lizzo and her production company alleges sexual, religious and racial harassment, as well as disability discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment.
is facing a lawsuit filed by three of her former dancers containing eyebrow-raising allegations.
The dancers’ legal team alleges the incidents date back to 2021 when Davis and Williams met Lizzo for her reality TV show "Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls." The reality show chronicled the journeys of dancers competing for a chance to join Lizzo’s live performances. Rodriguez was hired in May 2021 as part of the dance team featured in the music video for the hit "Rumors."
"Ms. Davis broke down in tears on set while struggling to choose between a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity and putting her body on display against her will," the lawsuit states. "This experience foreshadowed the sexually charged and uncomfortable environment Lizzo’s employees would be forced to endure."
The lawsuit then details an alleged incident from Feb. 23, 2023 in Amsterdam. That night, the dancers were invited to the Red Light District. While it wasn’t required, the plaintiffs attended "out of fear of losing their jobs," the press release said.
