Lizzo is saying exactly how she feels.
The “Truth Hurts” singer spoke out about the lawsuit filed against her by three of her former dancers in August 2023—days after she wrapped her Special tour—accusing the star of sexual harassment, weight-shaming and disability discrimination, among other grievances.
“I was literally living in my dream,” Lizzo told Keke Palmer on the Dec. 19 episode of the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast, “and then the tour ended, and three ex-dancers just completely, like, blindsided me with a lawsuit.”
The Grammy winner said she was “deeply hurt” by the allegations because the plaintiffs—Crystal Williams, Arianna Davis and Noelle Rodriguez—were “people that I gave opportunities to.”
“I was like, ‘What?’” she recalled. “But then I heard all the other things like sexual harassment, and I was like, they’re trying—well, I don’t know what they’re trying to do—but these are the types of things that the media can turn into something that it’s not.”
