Lizzo Sued By Former Dancers For Sexual Harassment Hostile and Work Environment

According to NBC News, three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. In a lawsuit, one dancer claimed that Lizzo fired her for recording a meeting and pointing out her weight gain.

Lizzo is also accused of pressuring dancers to touch a nude performer in Amsterdam, as well as making up accusations that they were drinking at work that led to an “excruciating” audition. These and other allegations are included in the lawsuit.


The plaintiffs also claim that Lizzo’s dance team captain, Shirlene Quigley, made inappropriate sexual remarks while reprimanding team members for having extramarital sex. The accusation against Quigley is believed to have reached Lizzo, who allegedly knew about it but did nothing.

The lawsuit also makes claims of a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, racial and religious discrimination, false imprisonment, interference with future economic advantage, and other things; however, not all of these claims are applicable to all of defendants. Lizzo (Melissa Viviane Jefferson), Quigley, and Lizzo’s production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. are listed as the defendants.


Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams, two of the defendants, joined Lizzo’s dance team after competing on her show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, while Noelle Rodriguez was hired after appearing in the “Rumors” video. Davis and Williams were fired, and Rodriguez left the company earlier this year.

NBC News also revealed that Lizzo’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment, Quigley did not respond immediately to a request for comment, and attempts to contact Lizzo’s production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc., were futile.


Lizzo hasn’t taken to social media to address the lawsuit.
