I kinda believe it just because of how unstable Lizzo is. This minute she’s preaching to the high heavens how much she loves her body and then the next she’s crying over some idiotic comment by a random troll. You just really never know what you’re getting with Lizzo and if she’s that all over the place to the public, I can only imagine what she’s like privately.

Good point. Though I wonder if they just meant the producer having 2nd thoughts provides a *more* objective view, outside of her employed staff/dancers, to have problems with Lizzo - that it is not just limited to people with potential to gain from suing - than they were trying to say they respect/believe a "more important" producer ???

This always seemed like her personality. I’m surprised anyone thought she came across as nice. Think lots of people overlooked her tacky, and classless behavior just because she preached about “body positivity”. The allegations align with her persona. The music and entertainment industry is very well known for being toxic and abusive. Lizzo joins a long list of other bullies.

It's a job, not a friends club. Do what's expected to earn your paycheck, then go home. Employees are not entitled to set the job expectations for a business.

Lizzos mistake was mixing business and pleasure. I don’t think there was intentional harassment, sounds like they were turning up at a strip club after a show. The dancers are paid employees and should have been treated as such at all times. Lizzo should have went out with her friends or family. As someone who has danced professionally, dancers are are expected to maintain the size/look that we present at time of audition for the duration of the contract. weight fluctuations negatively impacts technical execution of choreography and costume fitting. There was no fat shaming, just an expectation to uphold the standard. Management is within their rights to question a noticeable weight gain. I’m giving them the side eye because it’s giving now that since they aren’t cool with Lizzo anymore they are creating a smear campaign as the last desperate attempt to get paid. The lesson for everyone is to keep up professional witj employees at all times.

[@Bossy663]

These dancers are out for money big time and look at all these nutty people throwing things on at the performers could put someones eye out or throw acid on stage living in a very sad world.

You really don't get it, this is not her first assault and among other things, If i was a dancer for Lizzo I would be lucky because your monthly or weekly salary outweighs being payed a one time fee and being blacklisted, their careers might be over.@@Bossy663

[@kdoc19961]

I was looking for this comment because it's exactly what I was thinking. When you are a star you need to treat those that you employ as just that. They are not your friends or family. I think she got too comfortable with them and thought she could treat them like friends thus the question about weight gain. I do think these ladies are looking for a payday but this should be a warning to other entertainers that you cannot mix business with pleasure. If I was an entertainer I would keep my conversation with them limited to the task at hand and would not socialize with them outside of that. No dinners or parties. Do your job then go home (or back to the hotel if on tour).

[@edwardbright2638]

Perfectly said Tbrown. As Whoopi said let's wait till it all comes out in the wash, it's dangerous to react to a d story and with Hollywood and the American entertainment industry in general you never know. I remember watching the Netflix documentary on jlo and just balling my eyes out. I felt sooo bad cos I was one of the people who championed the narrative that it was over for her when she was just trying to work on her art, as a cake artist I tried to put myself in her shoes and wondered how I would have felt if my art was constantly criticised as such, same is the story of Toni braxton who was shamed on the Oprah show and she couldn't respond due to an NDA she just sat there looking miserable while she was accused of being a spend thrift and what about Britney? nobody thoughtto consider that she probably going through post birth mental and emotional health issues? My point is I'm not quick to join the banner of tearing people down anymore just cos of what's popular on main stream media. I'm going to wait this one out and come to conclusion when the picture is complete

[@yisselbravo1297]

Exactly, if you mix business with pleasure, things can go bad bad when they go south. Lizzo probably mix business with friendship and feelings got involved, and now they are filing and seeing her from a business perspective. And now where's the friendship lol 😆

[@SonicBoomC98]

This just proves that people saying Lizzo isn't happy with herself are right. All these body positivity stuff is just for show. If you love yourself as a big person, you won't pick on other big people. I'm not really surprised. It's obvious she was arrogant from day 1 and full of herself

Sooo these women are just like Lizzo. However, they are trying to sue someone for "fat shaming" them. Lizzo couldn't so all the people who did the same to her because they don't have money.

[@MarGoLuv]

Other allegations that LIZZO is being sued for and left out in this segment… 1) Lizzo took her Dancers to a strip club where Dildos and bananas 🍌 were being launch from the strippers va Jay jays and Lizzo teased one of her dancers to eat the Banana. 2) The dancers weren’t being paid on time. The dancers also had to fight for retainers bc Lizzo and her team didn’t want them to take jobs while they were on long hiatus. They only ask fo a 15% retainer and Lizzo was not happy about that. Opinion: no one should work for free. Pay your dancers LIZZO!! 3) Rehearsal were 12 hours with NO BREAKS! 4) The woman in the brown shirt in the CNN clip has an eye condition where she was recording Lizzo lecture since she couldn’t take notes. This upset lizzo and why lizzo threaten her. Opinion: not that Lizzo s reaction was right but the dancer should have let lizzo know ahead of time. 4) Not Lizzo but her Dance captain was pushing her religion on to the other dancers. The dance captain also berated some of the dancers for having premarital sex, while she was telling the dancers about her sexual fantasy. She also disclosed to others on the team who was a virgin and who wasn’t. 5) The dancer say that Lizzo treated her dancers and Crew of color badly.

@@MarGoLuv But Lizzo being the head of the company is not the same as her running day to day. It’s unlikely that these are conversations that were ever had with Lizzo as an international tour is a huge endeavor and it’s impossible for one person to hold all of the logistics. I honestly don’t believe that it was a 12 hour rehearsal with no breaks as it’s near physically impossible for people to work out that long without water and bathroom breaks. That said 12 hours of rehearsal is not uncommon for the level at which they are performing. If a Beyoncé backup dancer sued her for a 12 hour rehearsal most would laugh and say “what do you expect it’s Beyoncé”

FYI I am not a lizzo fan and I believe those girls are just pissed at Lizzo they're only telling part of a story Lizzo and the girls fell out and now they want to take her down... Lizzo was looking for plus size women to go on tour with her so please those allegations doesn't stand .. they're just pissed because they got let go and couldn't perform the dance moves so they want to say oh she cut me because of how I look. No that's how you feel about yourself she cut you because you couldn't do what you were hired to do. So please go have several seats you knew what you were getting yourself into and you took the job knowing you were not about that life... So pretty much they basically lied on their application

[@marshathompson673]

In the entertainment industry, I imagine anything can happen on tour. Remember Madonna's Truth or Dare?

[@tuonabatchelor7915]

I remember the dancer in the middle from Whatch Out for the Big Girlzzz. I'm not shocked that she would be on here saying this stuff because her personality never really fit w Lizzo's. She seemed a bit prudish and Lizzo is anything but so I could see her being uncomfortable out partying w her, and I can see Lizzo getting annoyed w her. Lizzo seems like she could have a mean streak and is probably a bit too casual w her dancers and staff. I do hope she bounces back frok this cuz i think some of this might be a bit conflated. Some of it I believe, some I'm taking w a grain of salt.

[@erick3614]

Speaking from an entertainment industry lens: Who is/will be hiring these people as dancers for anything anytime soon? I feel they were happy to be on a big ticket and they are having trouble moving on. Power dynamics can also be an employer afraid of their employees suing them.

They came out from Lizzo reality tv to find big girl dancers so no history of professional work. I think the truth is in the middle.

@@chloer2584 she probably had surgery for being able to see far. Everybody needs glasses to read when they age. If you are short sighted, the only way to not need glasses to read would be to operate only one eye and leave the other as is and read with one read and see far from the other one. If you don’t have surgery and you are short sighed, you just need to lift your glasses to read close. Because what you lose as you age is the ability for your eyes to adapt from close to far vision.

Watched the reality show, and one of the people making the allegation was an outstanding dancer and personality from the beginning of the show. While this will go to court, the truth is, this is their personal story, and it seems Lizzo felt she was above and beyond, and probably felt it was okay to treat the dancers badly. People in a high position of power forget what it was like to be the common person, and abuse their position of power.
