Lizzo lawsuit: Dancers describe star’s alleged weight-shaming as they break silence in first interview

Dancers who have filed a lawsuit against popstar Lizzo have spoken of her alleged weight-shaming in an interview with America’s NBC News.

Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams, who filed a lawsuit with another dancer, Noelle Rodriguez, have accused Lizzo of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

They allege Lizzo weight-shamed one of them, then fired her, after recording a meeting because of a health condition. They also accuse the singer of pressuring one of them in a strip club to touch a nude performer.

NBC approached the singer’s production company for comment on the allegations.
