Lizzo wants her accusers to pay up after the judge tossed two accusations from their bombshell lawsuit. Documents obtained by RadarOnline.com show that the Rumors singer, 35, is demanding a whopping $84k from the ex-backup dancers suing her.
"On January 31, 2024, the Court granted in part Defendants’ Anti-SLAPP Motion, dismissed in their entirety two causes of action (for FEHA disability discrimination and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage) and struck portions of two additional causes of action, out of a total of nine causes of action asserted by Plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) against Defendants," the Grammy winner's motion read.
Per the “Anti-SLAPP" statute, "Defendants are entitled to an award of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the Anti-SLAPP Motion and the instant Motion."
As the motion pointed out, Davis, Williams, and Rodriguez filed their lawsuit against Lizzo on August 1, 2023, "alleging nine causes of action: FEHA hostile work environment – sexual harassment, FEHA failure to prevent/remedy hostile work environment – sexual harassment, FEHA religious harassment, FEHA failure to prevent/remedy religious harassment, FEHA racial harassment, FEHA disability discrimination, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, assault, and false imprisonment."
The judge dismissed the disability discrimination and tortious interference claims early this month — therefore, Lizzo wants to recoup the money she spent on her attorneys to fight those allegations.
"Defendants seek a portion of the total attorneys’ fees and costs incurred that are allocable to the claims dismissed, in the amount of $74,903.30. Defendants also seek an award of $9,825.80, representing the attorneys’ fees and costs that they have incurred and anticipate they will incur in connection with the instant Motion. Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant an award in the total sum of $84,729.10 against Plaintiffs," the singer's motion stated.

Why do yall always post mouth-breathing photos of Lizzo?
Lizzo looking good.
She doesn't need the money. This is just retribution and it makes her look petty. (I guess because she obviously is petty.)
^^^
If someone falsely accuses me, or my reputation, you dayum right imma be petty 🤨. Fck do these women think? Sabotage my career and coins, and I'm supposed to walk away and thank them? Pay up bishes.
10:46, The better question is why does Lizzo keep taking mouth breathing photos of herself? People can't access what doesn't exist.
She knows they don't have the money. That's why they went after hers. Money grab.
