Lizzo: Concerns About Collaborating With Brands And Beyoncé’s Mother’s Comment

On Tuesday, August 1, singer Lizzo was sued by three former collaborators – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noel Rodriguez – for sexual harassment, racist and girophobic comments. Over the course of this week, more and more pieces have been added that have contributed to a more complete picture of the case, which also involves the production of “Big Grrrl Big Touring” and Shirlene Quigley, director of the corps de ballet.

Dancers’ attorney Ron Zambrano told NBC News: “Lizzo and her management team’s striking attitude towards their artists seems to go against everything Lizzo represents publicly, while privately she shames her. dancers and belittles them in a way that is not only illegal, but downright demoralizing.” The next day, the dancers gave an interview to the TMZ portal, in which they talked about how tense the situation was in the pop star’s corps de ballet. Yesterday, August 3, the singer responded to the allegations via a shared Instagram post, where she concluded by saying, “I’m in pain, but I won’t let the good work I’ve done in the world be overshadowed by this. “.

Today, August 4, the Daily Mail reported on a statement by public relations expert Nick Ede, who sees the pop star’s career “in the balance” primarily over collaborations with various brands, which can step back on ethical issues. In fact, he stated: “Lizzo is a celebrity who has always been liked by many (people, ed.) because of her inclusive nature and her shameless attitude towards authenticity. He created a brand that has millions of fans. This lawsuit will disappoint many. And she saw some people unfollow her on social media and Beyoncé removed her from one of her remixes. Lizzo released a statement measuring, reviewing and evaluating the situation. I think ultimately her brand is strong and that will allow her to ride out the storm, but big brands and employees will probably be cautious for a while until the situation is resolved because they want to make sure their brand is protected and not associated with someone who is not like (their ethics, ed.).”

Finally, Beyoncé’s mother, who omitted Lizzo’s name from the lyrics of the “Break My Soul” remix during the performance, denied the connection between her daughter’s cause and gesture. “He didn’t even give his sister’s name, you should all stop,” he commented under a post on The Jasmine Brand’s page that reported the incident during the concert as Beyoncé’s voluntary action in support of the lawsuit against Lizzo.
