Lizzo Is Getting Ready to File a Countersuit Against Her Backup Dancers in Their ‘Bogus’ Harassment Case


Former backup dancers have filed a lawsuit against Lizzo for sexual, racial, and religious harassment, as well as bad working conditions.

But the 35-year-old singer for the band About Damn Time sent out a long public statement in which she denied the claims and called them “disappointing” and “sensationalized stories.”

Now, the musician is fighting back in court. She plans to sue the litigants for what she says is their hypocritical behavior.

Lizzo’s lawyer, Marty Singer, showed pictures of Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez from the Crazy Horse’s topless cabaret show in Paris on March 5, 2023, which was one of the claims.

The photos and a statement from the singer were sent to People Magazine.

“These images showing the three plaintiffs gleefully revelling backstage after the topless show were taken after their February 2023 visit to Bananenbar in Amsterdam that they complain about in their lawsuit,” Singer wrote about the club, where the plaintiffs said Lizzo forced them to go and touch the nude performers.

Singer also said that after the incident, Davis reportedly sent an audition tape to Lizzo’s TV show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, in which she said she wants to “follow in her footsteps.”

The lawyer went on to talk about the “glaring contradictions” and called the case claims “bogus.”

But Davis, Williams, and Rodriguez’s lawyer, Neama Rahmani, said in a statement to People Magazine that they “stand by every claim in the lawsuit and look forward to trial” despite the photos.
