Allegations of Weight Shaming and Unprofessional Behavior Against Lizzo Arise
Lizzo, a prominent artist known for promoting body positivity and female empowerment, has recently been accused by three of her former dancers of weight shaming and creating a hostile work environment. The dancers have filed a lawsuit alleging that Lizzo pressured them to engage in explicit activities at a strip club, subjected them to an intense and grueling audition process, and berated and eventually fired one dancer for recording a meeting due to a health condition. The dancers described feeling bullied and fearing for their jobs throughout these interactions. The allegations have sparked a discussion about the disconnect between Lizzo's public image and the alleged mistreatment of her dancers.
