In August of last year, the musical artist was sued by three of her former dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodríguez, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Her attorney, Ron Zambrano, told NewsNation: “It’s shameful that Lizzo was chosen to headline an event like this in the midst of such egregious allegations.”
‘Without getting into politics, I can’t imagine why anyone would want Lizzo to represent them in any way, given her reprehensible behavior. It’s just a terrible look.
In the lawsuit filed in August, the former dancers also accused Lizzo of weight-shaming and claimed they were forced to touch a naked performer while at a strip club in Amsterdam.
The filing said the trio also accused the Truth Hurts creator of allegedly “inviting cast members to take turns touching the naked performers” inside the club.
The star, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, allegedly encouraged “catching dildos thrown from performers’ vaginas and eating bananas sticking out of performers’ vaginas.”
According NBC News At the time, the dancers’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, said, “The astonishing nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated her artists seems to fly in the face of everything Lizzo stands for publicly.”
He continued: “In private, he shames his dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but downright demoralizing.”
The lawsuit details the accusations and claims, including the Amsterdam club incident.
Another follower added: ‘Girl you can’t stop showing the haters who’s boss! You have an untouchable talent and we thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Her post comes just a day after the lawyer for Lizzo’s three former dancers who previously sued her for sexual harassment criticized “disgraceful” President Joe Biden for allowing her to perform at his $25 million Radio City fundraiser on Thursday.
After the lawsuit came to light, Lizzo broke her silence on Instagram, stating that the claims were “unbelievable” and “outrageous.”
She wrote in a statement: “These past few days have been heartbreakingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.”
‘My work ethic, my morals and my respect have been questioned. My character has been criticized. I normally prefer not to respond to false accusations, but they are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous not to address.’
“These sensational stories come from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told that their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional,” the singer continued.
