Lizzo States That "The Truth Is Finally Out" Following Fat-Shaming Allegations From Former Dancers In A Lawsuit

Lizzo is focused on addressing the allegations in the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three former dancers. On December 15, she publicly responded to the dismissed fat-shaming claims for the first time.

In a video shared on social media, Lizzo stated, “The fat-shaming claims against me have been officially dropped by my accusers. They conceded it had no merit in court. There was no evidence that I fired them because they gained weight. Because it never happened. Now the truth is finally out.”

Regarding the accusation made by Arianna Davis, Lizzo explained that the dancer was discharged for recording her without consent and sharing it with former employees. She emphasized, “I have never fired an employee for gaining weight. I have only encouraged and supported people with bigger bodies, and shared my platform with them.”

“This claim has haunted me since the day it came out. It has been devastating to suffer through this in silence, but I let my lawyers lead, and I’m so grateful for this victory,” Lizzo added. “I am still in a legal battle. I am not settling. I will be fighting every single claim until the truth is out.”

On December 12, a Superior Court judge determined that Davis’ termination was justified due to her secret recordings. While Lizzo noted this progress, she still faces allegations from Davis, as well as from Noelle Rodriguez and Crystal Williams, who had supported her during “The Special Tour.”

In response to the decision to dismiss the fat-shaming claim, plaintiffs’ attorney Ronald Zambrano told TMZ, “We are maintaining that Judge Epstein was correct in his ruling denying Lizzo’s special motion to strike the vast majority of claims they attacked, including false imprisonment and harassment.”

The singer and her Big Grrrl Big Touring company continue to confront allegations of a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, among others.
