Following a significant turn of events in the lawsuits against her, Lizzo has now spoken out. Over the weekend, the singer's former dancers, who have leveled multiple allegations against her, including sexual harassment, withdrew their claim of fat-shaming after a judge concluded that one of the dancers, Arianna Davis, was terminated following the secret recording of a meeting between her and Lizzo.
This morning, Lizzo herself posted a response to the development via an IG Reel. "The fat-shaming claims against me have officially been dropped by my accusers," she wrote. "They conceded it had no merit in court." She continued, "There was no evidence that I fired them because they gained weight. It never happened. Now the truth is finally out."
"They weren't fired for gaining weight," she emphasized. "They were fired for taking a private recording of me without my consent and sending it to ex-employees." Lizzo asserted, "I have never fired an employee for gaining weight. I have only encouraged and supported bigger bodies and shared my platform with them."
She added, "This claim has haunted me since it first surfaced. It has been devastating to suffer through this in silence, but I let my lawyers lead the way and I am so grateful for this victory."
"I am still in a legal battle," she concluded. "I am not settling. I will be fighting every single claim until the truth is revealed."
