Said Lizzo on Instagram, quoted in "Lizzo Denies Allegations in Former Dancers’ Lawsuit/Three dancers have accused the Grammy-winning singer of creating a hostile work environment, claims that she said were 'as unbelievable as they sound'" (NYT).
August 3, 2023
"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.... 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."

Lizzo was created by AI to misdirect people's attention from Joe Biden's bribery scandal. That's not a real person. No person has that giant of a behind.
Every time the Republicans reveal more whistleblowers, Lizzo is rolled out.
I believe the women.
“As unbelievable as they sound”
Who you’re going to believe, the great Lizzo, or some unknown little dancers?
“There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world.”
Respectfully, how the hell does she know what a woman is? There are Supreme Court justices who can’t even define the word.
So, she is saying that she didn't deep-fry and eat some of her dancers?
"...outings where nudity..." okay, basta.
“Pop star Lizzo is currently being sued for sexual harassment, including forcing dancers to participate in sex shows for her.”
The lawsuit says, “… things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo 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.”
Whatever happened to MeToo movement?
Like comedian CK, Lizzo may have to lay low for awhile.
Lizzo is rolled out.
ISWYDT
If I were Catholic, I'd be headed to the confessional penalty box right about now...
It is likely that she was demanding and possibly demeaning. It is not unusual for a diva-like personality (as many artists are) and a high stress environment. Apologize, do better and make the staff sign a waiver saying that the work environment is stressful, and if they can't handle the heat, find another kitchen. I wonder if Gordon Ramsay has his contestants sign such a waiver. Has not not as Kind as Lizzo was on Hell's Kitchen.
Hmm. Maybe I should read the whole thing. I thought she said mean things. Sex shows are a different matter. But if it's ok for Grade schoolers, what are these people complaining about? I bet to a person they supported Drag shows for kids.
Impressive statement. All her own words, no doubt.
The moment the Library of Congress brought the crystal flute of James Madison to Lizzo's concert, and Lizzo twerked while she played as the crowd went wild, was the moment I knew this country was over.
Nothing says “respect me!!!” more than 153 pounds of ass twerking live on stage!
“Lizzo is rolled out…”
Wouldn’t it be a coincidence if the case was adjudicated at the Circuit Court of Cook County, where Jussie Smollet fucked around and found out?
"Like comedian CK, Lizzo may have to lay low for awhile."
Where? The Grand Canyon?
The lawsuit says, "...eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
People don't realize that when Lizzo fat shames you; she's telling you're not fat enough!
"Ya'll go on and them nanners, now! Go on!"
>“Pop star Lizzo is currently being sued for sexual harassment<
The words "Lizzo" and "sexual" in close proximity strain the contemplative capacity of the human mind.
I’m reminded of those dooshbags at the window shouting “We’re WITH you!!!” as Aintifa pelted them rocks…
Launched?
“There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world.”
And she treats the women working for her with just that much respect.
Seriously, no one "deserves" respect - they earn it. If you eat bananas out of a stripper's vagina so as to cling to your paycheck, maybe that establishes just how much respect you "deserve." I suspect these people had established just how much respect they deserved over time, and the workplace did not go from smiley happy to eating vagina bananas in a single evening.
Not that this means that Lizzo isn't a sociopath (assuming, of course, that the accusations are true).
"would absolutely never criticize"
Claiming to never do something requires just one example to be proven wrong. Seems like her PR person is setting her up for a fall.
I don't have a dog in this fight (sorry if that sounds insensitive; it's an expression). Can't we wait until, or unless, some unbiased fact finder reports?
Lizzo's word carries a lot of weight.
Fat cat fight!
Lizzo lezzo?
I believe the women, Lizzo is a monster.
"oops, wrong post"
Good point, though.
Give the woman credit. If you had told me five years ago that I would some day spend three whole minutes contemplating what a bunch of grotesquely obese black women might have done together naked, I would not have believed it possible. But there it is. My mind has been crossed, and crossed again. The image has a peculiar fascination.
How on earth could anything be launched from a vagina? That statement makes me doubt the accusations
"Owen said...
Impressive statement. All her own words, no doubt."
Elaborate. Thanks in advance.
I've got enough seniority to remember Madonna demonstrating her oral skills went beyond singing using a beer bottle. (that was in the day when the visual was still appealing) In scene in a feature length docudrama about her. Entertainers commiting lewd sexual acts doesn't seem unusual.
We’ve gone from Thin Lizzy to Thick Lizzo, and I can’t say it’s an improvement.
Is she implying she's Banana Sexual?
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
I'm pretty sure everyone else got it exactly right.
You're missing a comma between but, and myself.
