Singer Lizzo denies lawsuit allegations from ex-dancers

Three former dancers for Grammy-winning musician Lizzo’s tour group have filed a lawsuit against her, accusing the singer of sexual misconduct, weight-shaming and creating a hostile work environment.

The Truth Hurts singer denied all the allegations yesterday, calling them “as unbelievable as they sound.”

The lawsuit states that between May 2021 and 2023, Lizzo had outings with her tour group, “where nudity and sexuality were a focal point.”

But Lizzo states, “These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”

Since the suit filing Tuesday, three more dancers have surfaced with similar allegations. 

Defendants named in the lawsuit include Lizzo, her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., and her tour dance captain Shirlene Quigley.
