Lizzo Hails Fat-Shaming Claim Dropped by Ex-Dancers

The withdrawal followed a judge's finding that a firing stemmed from a secret recording.

Overview

  • Lizzo posted an Instagram video announcing that her accusers have officially dropped the fat-shaming allegation from their 2023 lawsuit.
  • She asserted there was no evidence anyone was dismissed for weight gain and said the termination involved an unauthorized recording sent to former staff.
  • Her attorneys previously told TMZ that 18 sworn witness declarations undermined the fat-shaming claim, and the dancers withdrew their appeal.
  • A plaintiffs' lawyer said the court left most counts in place, including false imprisonment and harassment, so the broader case continues.
  • Lizzo said there has been no settlement and vowed to contest every remaining claim in Los Angeles Superior Court.
