Why Singer Refuses to Settle
Billboard • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Lizzo is refusing to settle a lawsuit filed by her former backup dancers alleging sexual harassment and toxic workplace conditions, which she strongly denies.
- She told CBS Mornings that settling would be an "easy out," but she is fighting the case because she believes the allegations are untrue and looks forward to the case being dismissed.
- The lawsuit includes claims of inappropriate behavior and discrimination, though fat-shaming allegations were dismissed by a judge in December; Lizzo maintains she never fired anyone for weight gain.
- Lizzo's legal team calls the lawsuit a "fabricated sob story," and the singer emphasizes her commitment to truth and her positive impact on fans.
- While the case is ongoing, Lizzo is preparing to release her new album, Bitch, on June 5, and remains confident in her music and character.
