American singer Lizzo has responded to the sexual harassment allegations made against her by former tour dancers, stating that their claims are sensationalized stories.

Three dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, filed a lawsuit against Lizzo, claiming they were weight-shamed and sexually harassed. In a statement posted on Twitter, Lizzo addressed the allegations, saying, "The last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals, and respectfulness have been questioned.

My character has been criticized." She emphasized that these sensationalized stories were fueled by former employees who had already admitted that their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional. Lizzo stated that it was never her intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or undervalued as part of the team.

She asserted that she is not a victim, nor is she the villain portrayed by the media. Lizzo denied fat-shaming her employees and expressed her hurt by the claims against her. She thanked everyone who had supported her during this challenging time and vowed not to let these allegations overshadow the good work she has done in the world.

The lawsuit alleges that one of the dancers was pressured to touch a nude performer during a visit to an Amsterdam club. It also claims that Lizzo's dance leader frequently made sexual comments and enforced her Christian beliefs, even against protestations.

The lawsuit further states that two dancers were fired, while one resigned due to the alleged behavior. Lizzo refutes these accusations and maintains that she values respect and does not discriminate based on weight or religious beliefs.
