It’s about damn time!
“Truth Hurts” singer Lizzo spoke out in detail about the shocking lawsuit some of her former dancers filed against her in August 2023.
In an emotional roller-coaster of an interview on Keke Palmer’s podcast, “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer,” Lizzo denied multiple allegations of a hostile work environment, weight-shaming, sexual and racial harassment, and more. The interview comes months after the suit was put on hold and multiple claims were dismissed.
“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 Palmer, emphasizing repeatedly in the interview that she does not see herself as a victim.
“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,” the singer, known for hits including “About Damn Time” and “Pink,” added.
