nypost.com:

the shocking lawsuit against Grammy winning rapper Lizzo, 35, a former documentary director has come forward with new allegations.

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison, 36, shared her alleged experiences with Lizzo on social media. “In 2019, I traveled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary,” she posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I walked away after about two weeks.

I was treated with such disrespect by her. I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is.”The documentary she referred to, “Love, Lizzo,” came out in 2022 on Max and – ironically, because of the topic of this lawsuit – dealt with body positivity, among other subject matter. “My spirit said to run as fast as you f–king can and I’m so grateful I trusted my gut,” said Allison.“I felt gas lit and was deeply hurt, but I’ve healed.”On Tuesday, the news broke that three of Lizzo’s former dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — are suing the Grammy winner, as well as Big Grrrl Big Touring and dance team captain Shirlene Quigley.

They allege that they were subjected to weight-shaming, sexually denigrating behavior and pressure to participate in disturbing sex shows.The plaintiffs claim that they ended up in Amsterdam’s Red Light District in February while touring with Lizzo. “… things quickly got out of hand,” according to the lawsuit, claiming that Lizzo allegedly “pressured” Davis into touching a nude performer’s breast.
