In early August, a scandal erupted around Lizzo after allegations of harassment, racist and fatphobic comments made against the singer by her former dancers. And now the pop star looks set to sue. According to TMZ, Lizzo was about to sue her old coworkers. Providing as evidence photographs dated March 5 (one month before the charges were filed), showing them “cheerful, joyful and festive.” while having fun at a red light show in Paris, according to Marty Singer, Lizzo’s lawyer.
Protecting Lizzo
According to the artist’s lawyer, the images drop the charges because they show the consent of Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Nelle Rodriguez. (They claimed that Lizzo made them eat the bananas that were between the legs of the strippers). As well as the positive climate that reigned in Lizzo’s team. In addition, the lawyer added, after the events, the three dancers still took part in other stages of the tour.
Prosecution attorney’s words
The last point was commented by the lawyer of the accusers. He said the girls “obviously wanted to keep their jobs, because like everyone else, they have their bills to pay. But they finally got tired of the abuse. We support all the claims made and look forward to the court with confidence. We heard from other former employees who shared similar stories. This shows how much Lizzo cares about those who work for her. Of course, not so much.”
Lizzo herself said a few weeks ago that she is not the monster portrayed by the media. and that he would not allow the good work done in the world to be marred by it. Thus, the matter seems to be far from over.
