Lizzo is facing new allegations from multiple accusers after being sued last week for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, according to a lawyer representing three original plaintiffs.
Ron Zambrano told Fox News Digital he has received inquiries from "at least six" additional individuals with "similar stories" since filing the lawsuit on behalf of Noelle Rodriguez, Crystal Williams and Arianna Davis, who previously worked as backup dancers for the 35-year-old singer. "Noelle, Crystal and Arianna have bravely spoken out and shared their experiences, opening the door for others to feel empowered to do the same," Zambrano, a partner and employment litigation chair at West Coast Employment Lawyers, wrote in a statement. "Some of the claims we are reviewing involve allegations of a sexually charged environment and failure to pay employees and may be actionable, but it is too soon to say." Representatives for Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Last week, Rodriguez, Williams and Davis filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court accusing Lizzo of subjecting them to "sexual, religious and racial harassment, disability discrimination, assault and false imprisonment, among other things," per legal documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Specific examples were given, including an occasion when the dancers felt pressure to touch a nude performer while at an Amsterdam nightclub called Bananenbar.The dancers say they endured an "excruciating" audition after accusations of being unprofessional and drinking on the job and were discouraged from finding work outside the tour.
