Lizzo has defended herself against claims made in a lawsuit by three dancers she worked with, including allegations of sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment.

On Tuesday Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against the singer and her Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc (BGBT) as well as Shirlene Quigley, the captain of Lizzo's dance team. The suit outlined the dancer's claims that they were subject to sexual, religious, and racial harassment, assault, false imprisonment, and disability discrimination.

Davis and Williams were fired from their positions, a move that led Rodriguez to resign in protest over what she saw as "appalling behaviour."
