Lizzo Explains Why She Refuses to Settle Sexual Harassment Lawsuit: ‘The Truth Will Come Out’
Key Points:
- Lizzo is refusing to settle a lawsuit filed by her former backup dancers alleging sexual harassment and toxic workplace conditions, which she denies, stating she wants a legal victory to prove her innocence.
- The singer emphasized to CBS Mornings that settling would be an "easy out," but she is confident the truth will emerge and the case will be dismissed.
- The lawsuit includes accusations of inappropriate behavior and discrimination, though claims of fat-shaming were dismissed by a judge in December.
- Lizzo maintains she never fired employees for gaining weight, asserting they were terminated for violating privacy by sharing a private recording without consent.
- While the legal battle continues, Lizzo is preparing to release her new album "Bitch" on June 5 and remains focused on her music and integrity.
