Lizzo Speaks Out on Harassment Controversy; Denies Allegations Amid Legal Battles: ‘Blindsided Me With a Lawsuit’

As a dedicated follower of Lizzo‘s journey, I must say that the recent allegations against her have left me somewhat perplexed. Having witnessed her incredible rise to fame and the inspiring message she delivers about self-love and body positivity, it’s disheartening to see such controversies clouding her name.

Back in August 2023, a sexual harassment lawsuit was brought against Lizzo by her three former backup dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez. In response to these accusations, which came as a surprise to her, Lizzo has stated that she did nothing wrong. She was completely taken aback by the allegations.

On December 19th, the artist behind About Damn Time appeared as a guest on the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast. During the conversation, she opened up about her extraordinary year that saw her performing in arenas for the first time. She expressed, “I was actually living my dream, and then the tour concluded, and three former dancers unexpectedly sued me.

She firmly believed that the accusations of sexual harassment and weight-shaming were baseless and exaggerated by the media. In response, The Truth Hurts artist stated, “It particularly hurt me because these were former dancers, and they hadn’t been part of the tour.

She went on to say, “These individuals I provided chances for. They were dancers whom I admired and valued.

The legal claim asserts that the singer known as the Boys was accused of compelling his backup dancers to strip down and engage with nude entertainers at an Amsterdam nightclub. Furthermore, it’s alleged he made the workplace uncomfortable by discriminating based on weight and race. She refuted these claims in public statements, insisting her reputation and professional conduct were unjustly maligned. Additionally, she confronted a second lawsuit in September 2023 from wardrobe stylist Asha Daniels, who claimed the singer fostered a toxic work environment.

The Rumors singer firmly stated in the podcast, “Let’s be clear, I did nothing wrong.”

As a dedicated follower, I’m standing by Lizzo amidst the swirl of controversy surrounding her. She’s unwaveringly focused on safeguarding her mental health and advancing her career. In her own words, she announced in April that she would no longer engage with negativity but instead continue doing what fuels her passion—crafting music and inspiring others to stand tall against negativity.

The legal disputes with Lizzo’s business are set to carry on, with the following court hearing slated for January 14, 2024.
