Lizzo celebrates legal victory after judge dismisses fat-shaming allegations
Lizzo speaks out after fat-shaming lawsuit is dismissed
- Lizzo has publicly addressed the dismissal of fat-shaming allegations made against her by three former dancers in a 2023 lawsuit.
- She stated the accusers conceded the claims had no merit and that she never fired employees for gaining weight, but rather for recording her without consent.
- A judge ruled in 2024 that the fat-shaming claims were barred by First Amendment protections and contradicted by evidence, leading the dancers to withdraw their appeal.
- Despite this, the sexual harassment lawsuit, which includes allegations of pressuring staff into touching a nude performer, is still set to proceed.
- Lizzo maintains her innocence, vowing to fight all remaining claims, while acknowledging the damage the allegations have caused to her body-positive public image.
