Lizzo breaks silence on ‘shocking’ sexual harassment lawsuit
Lizzo was sued by three former dancers in 2023 over sexual harassment claims
Lizzo has opened up about the sexual harassment lawsuit against her.
For the unversed, Lizzo was sued by three former dancers in 2023, claiming that they had been subjected to sexual harassment while on tour with the artist. However, one lawsuit has been dismissed but Lizzo continues to fight the claims.
Speaking on the Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast, Lizzo said that she “did nothing wrong” adding, “I was literally living in my dream, and then the tour ended, and three ex-dancers just completely, like, blindsided me with a lawsuit.”
Lizzo told Keke Palmer that she was “completely surprised” by the claims.
The singer said, “I was very deeply hurt because these were three ex-dancers, so they weren’t on the tour. They didn’t, like, finish the tour out with us. But even regardless of that, these were people that I gave opportunities to.”
“These were people that, I liked them and appreciated them as dancers, respected them as dancers. So I was like, what? 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,” she said, adding, “Let’s be clear, I did nothing wrong.”
