Grammy-winning singer Lizzo on Thursday (Aug 3) denied claims made in a lawsuit filed by three of her former dancers that she created a hostile work environment by engaging in denigra

by engaging in denigrating behaviour and body-shaming, calling the accusations"false" and"outrageous".

In addition to Lizzo, whose hit singles include"Juice" and"Truth Hurts," the lawsuit names her production company Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc and Shirlene Quigley, the captain of her dance team, as defendants. The lawsuit also claims that Davis was pressured to participate in a nude photo shoot to stay in a dance competition despite her discomfort. She claimed she feared losing her job if she did not comply with Lizzo's alleged requests.

The plaintiffs' attorney, Ron Zambrano, said in a statement that Lizzo had sought to shame her dancers over their weight and demean them in ways that are illegal and demoralizing. Lizzo responded by saying she knows what it is like to be body-shamed and would never terminate an employee because of their weight.
