Lizzo Is Being Sued By Her Ex-Dancers for Alleged Sexual Harassment

, which reports that, according to the three plaintiffs—Noelle Rodriguez, Crystal Williams, and Brianna Davis (the latter two competed on the Amazon series )—the singer pressured a “visibly uncomfortable” Davis to physically touch nude performers at a club in Amsterdam, where the tour was celebrating an afterparty.There are also claims of weight- and race-motivated harassment, stemming from an incident in which dancers were allegedly reprimanded for asking for downtime pay. “Only the dance cast—comprised of full-figured women of color—were ever spoken to in this manner,” the suit states.

There are also descriptions of veiled comments reportedly meant to weight-shame dancers.Quigley is specifically accused of preaching her Christian beliefs to co-workers who made it clear that they weren't interested in hearing about them, going so far as to “pressure” Rodriguez and make public statements about Davis's virginity.Williams claims that she was fired because she disagreed with Lizzo that she and other dancers were drinking on the job, and that the day before she was let go, all the dancers were subjected to an “excruciating” 12-hour rehearsal/audition during which Davis, afraid to leave the dance space to use the restroom, soiled herself.There is also a, frankly, very messy allegation about what happened when Davis, who claims to suffer from “an eye condition that sometimes left her disoriented in stressful situations,” recorded a team meeting.

Davis freely admitted to making the recording, saying she wanted to keep a copy of the artist's performance notes, and said she'd deleted it, but was “berated” and then fired.
