Popular singer Lizzo is being sued by three former dancers, and she is now facing new allegations.
At least six more people have filed complaints against Lizzo.
Attorneys representing three of Lizzo’s former dancers, who filed a lawsuit over claims of weight-shaming and sexual harassment in the workplace, claimed that at least six more people have since filed complaints against Lizzo.
Ron Zambrano, who represents backing dancers Ariana Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noel Rodriguez, said his firm is currently investigating the new complaints.

However, Lizzo released a statement saying, “The past few days have been gut-wrenchingly painful and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals, and respect have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Normally I would not respond to false allegations, but these allegations are unbelievable and so outrageous,” she said.

There is nothing I take more seriously than being respected as a woman in the world. I know what it feels like to be body-shamed on a daily basis, and I would never criticize or fire an employee because of her weight,” she said, flatly denying the dancers’ accusations.
