Pop star Lizzo sued by former dancers accusing her of sexual harassment...
From NBC
Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused the singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday. They also allege that she pressured one of them to touch a nude performer at an Amsterdam club and subjected the group to an “excruciating” audition after leveling false accusations that they were drinking on the job.
The dancers accused Lizzo — a performer known for embracing body positivity and celebrating her physique — of calling attention to one dancer’s weight gain and later berating, then firing, that dancer after she recorded a meeting because of a health condition.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and provided to NBC News by the plaintiffs’ law firm, also accuses the captain of Lizzo’s dance team of proselytizing to other performers and deriding those who had premarital sex while sharing lewd sexual fantasies, simulating oral sex and publicly discussing the virginity of one of the plaintiffs.
The suit does not say if Lizzo knew about the allegations linked to the dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, but the plaintiffs believed the singer was aware of their complaints about her, according to their lawyer, Ron Zambrano.
The suit names Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, her production company and Quigley as defendants. In addition to accusations of a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, the suit brings claims for religious and racial harassment, false imprisonment, interference with prospective economic advantage and other allegations. Not every claim was brought against each defendant.

Yea. I never really liked her. Something fake about her and she’s kind of a biter cause she bit off of cece peniston and others and doesn’t give credit
Oh please. Get a new job. They know how she rolls. She's bossy, vulgar and obscene. What did they expect? People get their feelings hurt working with women like her and want to sue. They wouldn't think twice if a man had these demands.
Tacky
Proof or I don't believe it. *Kanye shrug*
Lizzo has gone Lezz-bo. Nothing new. She went Hollyweird. Next she will drop weight and the boy friend. LOLOL
Someone above me said bossy and vulgar and that about covers it.
She is bossy and vulgar, but so are 50, Future, J. Cole, Nas, Drake, Tip. All of them go there and they have to be bossy with their crew, dancers, and singers. But no one says anything about them. It's women like Megan, Cardi, and Lizzo who catch the flack.
Lizzo should have made them sign an NDA. She'll learn.
And WTF is racial harassment? Sounds like something they made up to stop Black people from mentioning race.
