American artist Lizzo is the centre of controversy as she now faces allegations of sexual harassment and weight shaming.
This comes after three of her former tour dancers filed a lawsuit, suing the singer and her management team of sexual harassment and weight shaming.
According to the lawsuit, the singer is accused of creating a hostile work environment through sexual, racial and religious harassment in several incidents between 2021 and 2023.
The dancers also alleged that Lizzo, criticised one of her dancer’s recent weight gain and later berated, then fired, that dancer for recording a meeting. This all sounds shocking coming from someone who is known as an advocate for body positivity and self-love.
Furthermore, the suit alleges that Lizzo’s dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, pushed her Christian beliefs upon other performers and denigrated those who had premarital sex, while also simulating oral sex, sharing lewd sexual fantasies and discussing one performer’s virginity.
The lawsuit does not say whether Lizzo knew about Quigley’s alleged behavior, but the plaintiffs – dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – believe she was aware of complaints leveled against Quigley.
