BREAKING: Lizzo's former back-up dancers are suing her for 'weight-shaming.'
dedicated to loving oneself, with lyrics like “Thick thighs save lives” in her song “Tempo” and “Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me what you see / It’s that, oh my God, it’s lookin’ heavenly” in “Scuse Me”. So the reasonWhy is Lizzo being sued? Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused the singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 1, 2023, and provided to StyleCaster by the plaintiffs’ law firm.
“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney Ron Zambrano, a partner and Employment Litigation Chair at West Coast Employment Lawyers.
Hostilities allegedly reached another high point in February 2023 after the plaintiffs performed a show with Lizzo in Amsterdam. The lawsuit claims that Lizzo invited her dance crew to the infamous Red Light District, which is home to sex workers, strip clubs, and other forms of adult entertainment. It wasn’t a requirement to attend but the plaintiffs felt obligated out of fear of losing their jobs.
