Prominent artist Lizzo is currently entangled in a civil lawsuit initiated by three former dancers who claim to have experienced sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while collaborating with her. The lawsuit, which has been filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, sheds light on a distressing series of incidents that occurred during their shared time.
According to the allegations, Lizzo is accused of pressuring the dancers to participate in interactions with nude performers at a club in Amsterdam. These claims suggest that the dancers were left feeling uncomfortable and coerced into distressing situations, resulting in an environment filled with unease and discomfort.
Moreover, the lawsuit asserts that Lizzo engaged in body shaming towards one of the dancers who had experienced weight gain. This alleged behavior, along with other actions, reportedly contributed to a toxic atmosphere that negatively impacted the well-being and professional journey of the dancers.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and names both Lizzo, known legally as Melissa Viviane Jefferson, and her production company as defendants. Additionally, the lawsuit identifies the captain of the dance team as another defendant.
