Plaintiffs Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams allege in the lawsuit filed Tuesday that they were eventually fired while the third plaintiff, Noelle Rodriguez, resigned over Lizzo’s “stunning” behavior.
On a concert trip to Lizzo in February this year, the plaintiffs allege that Lizzo invited them out for a night on the town, and it ended up in the city's prostitute district, an area known for sex theaters, sex shops, clubs and bars where nudity is an "in your face" situation.
On a concert trip to Lizzo in February this year, the plaintiffs allege that Lizzo invited them out for a night on the town, and it ended up in the city's prostitute district, an area known for sex theaters, sex shops, clubs and bars where nudity is an "in your face" situation.
The plaintiffs claim that Lizzo pressured them into inappropriate activities that made them believe they'd lose their jobs if they didn't go along with it.
Rodriguez eventually resigned in solidarity with a fired dancer. Davis claimed she was forced to s**t herself on stage out of fear of retaliation.
The lawsuit states, “… things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
The suit also claims Lizzo allegedly “pressured” and “goaded” Davis into touching one nude performer’s breasts.
The plaintiffs claim that, just a month later, Lizzo, 35, deceived them once again into attending a nude show, thereby “robbing them of the choice not to participate,” the documents state.
Davis also claims in the lawsuit that at one point, she had no choice but to “soil herself” on stage during an “excruciating” re-audition, “fearing the repercussions” of excusing herself to go to the restroom.
Eventually, Lizzo allegedly fired Davis “on the spot” after learning Davis had recorded one of their meetings even though it was in order to have “a copy of the notes” that big Lizzo provided.
Rodriguez resigned shortly thereafter out of solidarity with Davis and the “disrespect” Lizzo allegedly showed her.
The lawsuit claims she “feared that Lizzo intended to hit her and would have done so if one of the other dancers had not intervened.” Lizzo hasn’t as yet responded to the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs are suing for general and special damages, as well as punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are … absolutely demoralizing,” the plaintiffs’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, said in a statement.
And there you have it. If this is true, then Lizzo is a disgusting person who should be made to pay dearly for these alleged incidents.
