Lizzo Accused of Fat Shaming

Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused the performer — known for embracing body positivity and celebrating her physique — of calling attention to one dancer’s weight gain and later berating, then firing, that dancer after she recorded a meeting because of a health condition.

They also allege that she pressured one of them to touch a nude performer at an Amsterdam club and subjected the group to an “excruciating” audition after leveling false accusations that they were drinking on the job.

They have standing to sue - they're aggrieved parties suing the parties who allegedly did something to them. The issue would be jurisdiction, but there's very likely jurisdiction - at the very least in the States where the parties are residents and/or the State where the production company is incorporated/organized.

She's fat shaming, so in the end is it that she really, like most people, want to be trim and fit? Basically she really benefited from being "body positive" and once that was her schtick, she had to double down because it got her attention, it defined her in a way and her fans loved her because of it.

She sounds like a typical aggressive dyke. And that could be her career reinvention if she actually is a lesbian.

Lizzo might be an evil boss. She seems like a diva. There could be some bullying or Lizzo forgot she's in charge. And of course every moron on Twitter is like 'she's done!'. I see Lizzo as someone who fought for her place. She didn't hit the popular consciousness until 30. It could be a lot of work to corral 300lb dancers and tour. There's something not very compelling about the accusations. The strip club episode seems gross but it was supposed to be a wild night.

Cunt behavior or not, I think the key is the dancers' claim "because I thought I'd lose my job," "I was fearful about losing my job." I get it, Lizzo is the queen bee, and she's urging you to do things. But, Lizzo can come back and say "I was urging them, but I wasn't forcing them; they didn't have to do anything they didn't want to." A general "vibe" that makes you feel you have to do something isn't the same as an employer telling you "play along or you're out." Would it surprise me if Lizzo actually is at times a controlling and obnoxious boss? Not really. But did that rise to the level of behavior that would result in losing a lawsuit. Granted, I'm sure the action is an attempt at reaching some sort of settlement.

by Anonymousreply 61August 2, 2023 3:24 PM

My take on this is 1) Lizzo is a dyke and 2) she gets off (and I mean in the literal sense of the word, it got her horny and wet) on making people do things like this because of her newfound power.

I would consider "strongly urging" her dancers to eat something out of a stripper's cooch as a total power move, and MOST DEFINITELY creating a hostile work environment. I can believe this happened, and also believe that (if it did happen these dancers were definitely thinking that they were going to lose their job and were 100% replaceable.

I knew there was something really off about her. All my subjective and ignorant opinion, of course.

Also, GROSS. A banana covered with disgusting stripper juice. Talking about "tasting a rainbow" (of STDs, that is).

by Anonymousreply 62August 2, 2023 3:33 PM

BREAKING🚨: (GRAPHIC LANGUAGE/CONTENT)

A lawsuit has been filed against the Star Wars Duchess/Pop star Lizzo in Los Angeles Superior Court by members of her dance crew for sexual harassment and body-shaming that involved allegedly forcing the dancers to eat ‘bananas out of each other vaginas’

Lizzo allegedly "began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas," the suit says.

"Lizzo then turned her attention to her crew member Arianna Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women."

Davis declined, according to the suit, and Lizzo allegedly led a chant goading her to do so. After Davis declined three more times, the chant "grew louder and more strident, demanding a visibly uncomfortable Ms. Davis to engage with the performer.

The sex club stuff was so dumb on her part. I see it happening, she is on tour, she has no other friends around so she tries to create this family/ friend base out of the people touring with her- but they are employees. That said, I have been encouraged many, many times to go to strip clubs after a deal closed. Very stupid because it exposes them all to a lawsuit, but I don't think Lizzo was sitting there plotting.

After reading it all, I don't really buy the fat shaming. It sounds more like the dancer was struggling with dancing, and perhaps her fitness to do the job was questioned, but not that her actual size or weight was a problem. It sounds like if she could have kept up no matter her size she would have been ok.

Also confused as to whether Lizzo is forcing all the employees into sex clubs and sex acts OR if she is forcing them to be virgins and exposes to christianity- and not sure how they could both exist as represented in the lawsuit. If the head choreographer is all christian and virginity- then how is she also going to these "required but not required but required" sex clubs and eating bananas etc.?

Saying a dancer seemed "less committed" to her role sounds, to me like she was struggling with the routine/stamina/keeping up. Maybe it was due to weight, maybe it wasn't - sounds to me like a "please stop sucking or you'll be replaced" kind of warning. It's vague. That being said I do believe the volumes of others that are coming out saying she's a b*tch, which is too bad.

R70 i had some long conversations with a dancer from Truth or Dare (the one who was allegedly straight.

Lizzo is awful and makes people do things that are not only tacky but potentially dangerous (like collecting STDs) and can harm you for life. Also: Employing fat dancers is cruelty too. Imagine dancing with an extra 40 or 50 lbs. It's like letting soldiers run a marathon with a field pack. It's fucking disgusting because it's abuse. You can be anything!

IF this is true, it's absolutely projection, and entitlement. I'm all about being comfortable in one's own skin, but she's always struck me as a try-hard where that's concerned. And my honest opinion, is that no one is truly happy with themselves at that size.

I'm really short, and was at one time twenty pounds away from weighing 200lbs. I was absolutely miserable, until I lost the sixty pounds. So I can't imagine carrying as much as she does, but also maintaining that weight WHILE having a job that requires her to move about onstage as much as she does. I don't know what her health situation is, but she's clearly maintained the habits that got her there to begin with.

Claiming confidence is one thing. But my opinion is that she needs to be confident enough in hersef to take up the task of improving her physical & mental health. She's obviously talented enough to satisfy a record label and an audience. So if she believes that a significant weight loss will diminish her relativity, I disagree. Missy Elliott was overweight for the longest time, and looks amazing now. I wish Lizzo would take a hint from her, and not Ellen Degeneres.

'These 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. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.

'These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.

'As an artist I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because at the end of the day I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans.

'With passion comes hard work and high standards. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren't valued as an important part of the team.

'l am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.

'I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not.

'There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world. I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 -- 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐨

The View's Sunny Hostin has admitted she 'believes' the allegations of harassment and bullying that have been made against Lizzo this week - hours after the singer vehemently denied the claims.

During Thursday's episode of the ABC show, the panel discussed the claims made by three of Lizzo's former backing dancers, as well as the Good As Hell hitmaker's statement, in which she insisted the allegations are 'outrageous' and untrue.

Plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez have accused the Grammy winner – as well as the Big Grrrl Big Touring and dance team captain Shirlene Quigley – of creating a 'sexually charged and uncomfortable' work environment in their lawsuit.

During Thursday's episode of the show, Sunny, 54, voiced her support for Lizzo's accusers, saying she is 'so disappointed' in the singer.

She also slammed 'the hypocrisy of the bullying that goes on' in the industry while referencing separate claims made against Lizzo by documentary film maker Sophia Nahli Allison.

Sophia branded Lizzo a 'narcissistic bully' in a shocking Instagram post and claimed the singer 'creates an extremely toxic work environment' as she shed some light about what she allegedly experienced while working with the chart-topper on a documentary back in 2019.

However, The View's 𝙒𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙥𝙞 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜 reminded Sunny and everyone watching at home that they're still just allegations at this point and urged people to 'wait until you get all the information'.

Sharing her thoughts on the claims, 𝘼𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙨𝙖 𝙁𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙝 𝙂𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙣 told the panel: 'I have to check my bias just because I'm such a Lizzo fan. If I'm having a bad day, she's my hype girl, I put on Lizzo and I love her music, I love her energy and body positivity.

'I read her statement, she was outright, [she] did not acknowledge any of this. She didn't accept any of the allegations. I think one thing did stand out to me because some of the allegations were about they were out at a club and asked to do some inappropriate things.

'That stood out to me where I think it is an area where Lizzo can accept some accountability because I'm sure she went out like, "I'm with my friends, my dancers are my friends", but there's a power imbalance because she is their boss and so they don't feel like they can say "no".

'So that stood out to me, I love her and I want to see her come back from this so I think acknowledging some accountability on anything's that's true, but also it's so hard with these things to know...' Alyssa, 34, added.

𝙅𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙧 chimed in and said: 'It's the fat shaming that seems hypocritical because it's all about body positivity and if it's true, we don't know if it's true, we'll see what happens when they go to court.

'But if you're gonna go out there and say you love your body, and then you start fat-shaming others, that's not kosher. People don't like that, that's the hypocrisy of it,' she added.

Mother-of-two Sunny was keen to have her say and said: 'The hypocrisy of the bullying that goes on in this industry, in the music industry and the TV industry and Hollywood where thin is everything and she was the one person that was like, "no, it's not", and so I think that's why I'm so disappointed.'

How well she fares if the allegations are true depends on how popular her music alone is. If her fans like her based on her music, she’ll bounce back like other notorious figures in the industry, On the other hand, if her fans are more into her identity as a fat-positive feminist, her career is probably over because she’s (allegedly) the opposite of all that. The sudden drop in sales and airplay is a very bad omen.

Indeed:

“I think that she should’ve had a better response, and she knows better,” says author Roxane Gay, who’s written in support of Lizzo in the past, pointing to the way Lizzo “course corrected” last year when she immediately replaced language in her song “GRRRLS” that was singled out as an ableist slur.

“There was just no taking of responsibility, no direct engagement with the accusations and no apology. I think we all know how the court system works, so I doubt she could offer the statement that people would’ve liked to have seen from her, legally speaking, if she doesn’t want to just settle — which she can just, honestly, apologize, settle and move on. But we’ll see what happens.”

[quote]Did you really expect Roxanne gay - OF ALL PEOPLE - to defend her?

Roxane provided a defense of sorts for Lizzo:

“One of the things that’s important to remember is that we’re all raised in a fatphobic culture, and you can absolutely be fat and harbor internalized fatphobia. That doesn’t make it OK, but to believe that she would somehow be immune after the amount of vitriol that she has had to swallow — I don’t think people understand the level of fatphobia and misogynoir this woman deals with,” Gay says. “It’s appalling, it’s constant and it’s incredibly cruel, and that doesn’t make behaving in that manner OK, but there’s no way she couldn’t internalize some of those messages. I think the path forward for her involves acknowledging whatever wrongs she committed, making restitution and admitting, ‘I’m not always perfect. I apologize. And I harbor some fatphobia.’”
