Lizzo plans to fight back after her former dancers, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, sued her.
Three of Lizzo's former dancers filed the lawsuit to the Los Angeles County Superior Court due to alleged sexual harassment and promoting a toxic work environment.
The lawsuit affected the performers' career, with fans leaving the fandom. However, her team found a way to reclaim Lizzo's spotlight and clear her name from the allegations.
Lizzo Plans To Sue Former Dancers Back
In an exclusive update to a news outlet, Lizzo's lawyer Marty Singer dropped a bombshell response to the lawsuits the singer's former dancers filed.
According to the attorney, the accusers were "happily carousing and gleefully reveling" with the topless performers backstage. The photos in question, which captured their interactions, captured accusers Noelle Rodriguez, Arianna Davis, and Crystal Williams having a fun time in Amsterdam during a February visit.

They claimed in the lawsuit that Lizzo pressured them to commit sexual-related deeds, including eating bananas from performers' private parts. They also said they were forced to go to a topless show in Paris, but Singer said the photos proved how they were "happily cavorting backstage" with the topless dancers."
One of the accusers, Davis, even gushed over "About Damn Time" singer in an audition tape, saying she wanted to follow in the rapper's footsteps.
"She [Davis] tried to explain away her glowing comments about Lizzo by claiming the 'bulk' of her accusations were based on things that happened later" the lawyer said "That excuse is completely contradicted by the facts, including by these images."
Singer added that Lizzo intends to sue them for malicious prosecution once she wins the lawsuit.
Accusers' Lawyer Explains the Photos
In response to the statement of the "Good as Hell" singer's lawyer, the accusers' representative Neama Rahmani said the dancers only flashed their smiles because they wanted to keep their jobs and have bills to pay.
However, they finally filed the lawsuit after they had enough of the abuse.
Despite Singer's response, Rahmani stood firmly by every claim in the lawsuit and expressed that they are looking forward to trial.
"We've been hearing from other former employees sharing similar stories, and as seen in the Los Angeles Times article today about how Lizzo used intimate footage of her dancers without their approval in the 2022 HBO Max 'Love Lizzo' documentary, we're seeing even more of a pattern of just how much Lizzo thinks of those who work for her," the lawyer noted. "Clearly, not very much."
