Three former dancers allege the singer contributed to creating a hostile work environment.
Pop star Lizzo is being sued by three of her former dancers over claims including sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.
Among the claims against Lizzo - whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson - are that she "pressured Ms Davis to touch the breasts" of a performer in a nightclub in Amsterdam, and Ms Davis - after resisting - eventually acquiesced "fearing it may harm her future on the team" if she didn't do so. Though never explicitly stated, the questions "gave Ms Davis the impression that she needed to explain her weight gain and disclose intimate personal details about her life in order to keep her job", the lawsuit says.
Accusations including racial discrimination are also levelled at production company Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc.'s management team.They were accused of being "lazy, unprofessional, and having bad attitudes" - the lawsuit claimed these are tropes often used "to disparage and discourage" black women and that other dancers were not treated like this.
