Lizzo’s Legal Battle

Despite her good deeds, Lizzo has faced recent backlash after some of her ex-dancers filed a lawsuit against her. Last month, Lizzo’s attorney, Marty Singer, issued a statement to sources, stating that Lizzo plans to countersue her backup dancers. Newly surfaced photos of her accusers “happily carousing” and “gleefully reveling” backstage with nude performers in Paris are expected to support her case. In the lawsuit filed by three former dancers, Lizzo faces accusations of pressuring Davis into touching a nude performer at an Amsterdam club in February 2023. However, Singer argues that the Paris photos, taken a month after the Amsterdam incident, contradict the claim that the dancers were forced to attend the topless show.

These developments are part of an ongoing legal battle, and the situation continues to evolve.
