Lizzo reportedly plans to sue the three former dancers who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment in a recent lawsuit. Lizzo’s attorney, Marty Singer, spoke to TMZ, calling the dancers’ suit a “sham” and saying he has “substantial evidence” to “prove the glaring contradictions between what the plaintiffs claim in their bogus lawsuit and what is actually proven by the facts.”
Singer pointed TMZ to surfaced photos that show the dancers “happily carousing” and “gleefully reveling” backstage at a topless cabaret show, which he says happened about a month after the Amsterdam incident referenced in their lawsuit (In the suit, the dancers say that Lizzo “began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas” in Amsterdam).
Singer also told TMZ that the dancers who filed the suit signed on for additional dates on the third leg of Lizzo’s tour after the alleged harassment had taken place.
In a statement in response to Singer’s comments, Ron Zambrano and Neama Rahmani, attorneys for the dancers, said, “The plaintiffs merely wanted to keep their jobs until they finally had enough of the abuse. Arianna, Noelle and Crystal were brave enough to come out with their stories, and they don’t plan to back down in the face of these bullying tactics by Lizzo’s attorney.”
Lizzo has denied the allegations, calling them “outrageous” and “false.”
Six months before this lawsuit, 14 dancers who appeared in Lizzo’s 2022 documentary received a settlement over a separate dispute.
