Lizzo’s Lawyer Claims Accuser Praised Singer After Alleged Incidents

usmagazine.com:

Lizzo’s lawyer, Marty Singer, is firing back at one of the musician’s former dancers accusing her of creating a hostile work environment.Singer made his comments after TMZ obtained a video of Arianna Davis — who is one of three women who filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, 35, on Tuesday, August 1 — praising the “Truth Hurts” singer during an audition for season 2 of her show, Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.According to the outlet, the audition tape — in which Davis stated that she “look[s] up to [Lizzo] so much” and wants to “follow in her footsteps” — was filmed in April, after the alleged incidents described in the suit took place.“These do not sound like the words of someone who was harassed or discriminated against by someone they described as ‘THE QUEEN,’” Singer told TMZ on Thursday, August 3. “They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and here a video shows that there are no legitimate claims in this lawsuit.

We are confident that Lizzo will be completely vindicated in this matter.”Davis reacted to her audition tape resurfacing via a statement to Us Weekly. “Of course, I wasn’t going to say anything negative about the camp while I was still in it.

Right up until the last minute, I didn’t realize how bad it was and how much I was being taken advantage of. I just genuinely wanted to save my job,” her statement began. “This video further explains how much I was trying to please Lizzo.

But it was such a toxic work environment because throughout all the abuse, I was still trying to please her and make her think that I was good enough.
