Lizzo broke her silence on the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against her by her backup dancers in August 2023.
The famous singer addressed the allegations on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast Dec. 19.
“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 said. “I was completely surprised. I was very deeply hurt because these were three ex-dancers, so they weren’t on the tour. They didn’t, like, finish the tour out with us. But even regardless of that, these were people that I gave opportunities to.”
The dancers claimed Lizzo berated and shamed them, according to NBC News. They accused her of sexual harassment, claiming she put them into sexual situations they were not comfortable with.
