usmagazine.com:

More of Lizzo‘s employees are expected to join the lawsuit against the singer for harassment and discrimination.Ron Zambrano, the Employment Litigation Chair at West Coast Trial Lawyers, said in a statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, August 9, that his firm is vetting claims from at least six more people with allegations of wrongful treatment.“We have received at least six inquiries from other people with similar stories since we filed the complaint,” Zambrano said. “Noelle, Crystal and Arianna have bravely spoken out and shared their experiences, opening the door for others to feel empowered to do the same.

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.”The potential plaintiffs were not named, but Zambrano told NBC News they all either worked on Lizzo’s tour or her Prime Video reality show, Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.Attorney Neama Rahmani, Zambrano’s colleague, exclusively told Us on Wednesday, August 9, that the firm is conferring with both potential new plaintiffs and witnesses to corroborate their claims.“In this particular case, you know, we’re seeing witnesses come forward every single day that are supporting our client’s allegations,” he told Us. “These are individuals [who] might wanna become part of the lawsuit or [are] people that don’t wanna be a part of the lawsuit, but witnesses or just folks that are just saying anonymously that yes, the same thing happened to me.

It’s very similar to the Me Too movement.”Us confirmed earlier this month that three of the 35-year-old Grammy winner’s former backup dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — filed a lawsuit
