Peace y'all it's your boy Johnny Fastlane here with allhiphop.com

So Lizzo reacts to being sued by three of her dancers. Let's talk hip-hop
0:10
Aight yo this situation is crazy right because Lizzo reacts to being sued by three of her
0:16
dancers. Y'all know the whole situation man this is the big story of the week. Three of her dancers
0:20
put a lawsuit against her basically alleging that Lizzo was sexually harassing them, uh that Lizzo
0:27
was making fun of her dancers for gaining weight, uh that Lizzo's team captain of the damn squad
0:34
tried to convert all the dancers over to Christianity. She also made fun of them for
0:39
having sex before they were married, then had an interview about one of the other girls who
0:43
was a virgin who had never had sex. Um the dancer said that you know Lizzo made them eat bananas
0:49
that strippers had in their vagina like all kind of stuff right. So they're alleging sexual
0:54
harassment, hostile working environment, all kind of craziness. Um so Lizzo actually responded to
1:00
this right. So first of all the captain of Lizzo's dance team also responded and it was kind of weird
1:05
the response and it seems like you know she is one of those super religious people that will try to
1:09
convert you right. Um but Lizzo responded to with a lengthy statement on her Instagram. I'm not going
1:14
to read the whole thing but in part it says these past few days have been gut-wrenching and difficult
1:20
and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic morals and respectfulness have been questioned
1:26
My character has been criticized. I usually choose not to respond to false allegations
1:30
but these are unbelievable as they sound too outrageous to not be addressed. These are
1:36
sensationalized stories are coming from former employees that have already publicly admitted
1:41
that they were told that their behavior on tour is inappropriate and unprofessional right. Um she
1:47
goes on to say that she would never make fun of somebody for their weight gain because she knows
1:52
how it feels to be body shamed. She goes on to say that yeah she's passionate about her art and she
1:57
doesn't want to put out half-ass art so therefore if people need to get fired they're gonna get
2:02
fired. But she says the work environment is not hostile and they definitely are exaggerating in
2:08
the lawsuit right. Um of course a lot of people are shocked by this because people look at Lizzo
2:12
as the good guy plus people look at Lizzo as somebody who is you know body positive and body
2:18
affirming right. So if you are a big girl but you get an act other big girls it just seems
2:22
hypocritical and also that you're putting on an image that you don't really have right. So the
2:28
whole thing is crazy we'll see what happens as far as the lawsuit goes. Um but not only the three
2:33
dancers who were suing Lizzo said that this was going on there are two other dancers who also said
2:38
yeah this is true the work environment with Lizzo is horrible right. Um so I guess we'll
2:43
see what happens and yeah let me know what you all think about this in the comments
