The dance crews’ show of support comes in the wake of a lawsuit filed by three former tour dancers against Lizzo. The lawsuit alleges that Lizzo and her company fostered a hostile work environment that included instances of sexual harassment, weight-related interrogations, and pressure to engage in explicit acts. Lizzo has firmly denied these allegations and took to Instagram to address the accusations in a comprehensive statement.
In her response, Lizzo expressed her disappointment in the allegations and defended her work ethic, morals, and respectfulness. She called the claims unbelievable and outrageous, asserting her commitment to creating a positive and empowering environment.
Notably, Lizzo also received support from music icon Beyoncé during one of her tour performances. Beyoncé shouted out “Lizzo, I love you!” during her rendition of “Break My Soul (The Queen’s Remix),” a moment that highlighted Lizzo’s impact and recognition within the industry.
Amidst the controversy and legal proceedings, Lizzo’s dance crews continue to stand by her side, affirming their appreciation for the artistic experience they’ve shared and their admiration for her dedication to promoting a positive and inclusive atmosphere within the entertainment world. As the situation unfolds, fans and supporters are closely watching to see how this chapter in Lizzo’s career will develop and how her message of empowerment will resonate moving forward.
