Lizzo sued for hostile work environment (fat shaming and sexual harassing)

[Anonymous]

I’m on Lizzo’s side here.

[Anonymous]

Those 3 women sound like absolute snowflakes.

-Weren't smart enough to negotiate a retainer fee to be paid a partial salary while still employed by the tour but not performing. Got upset when they found out others had negotiated this retainer fee. Eventually negotiated 50% of their pay as a retainer fee but are still upset.

-Believe 2 weeks' notice that they'd be needed to dance on the tour wasn't ample time.

-Someone in charge talked about Jesus too much.

-Disclosed sensitive medical information to a doctor and via form even though the form said the info would be distributed to those deemed as needing to know and then got mad when that info was disclosed.

-Upset that girls who accepted invitations to hang out with Lizzo after shows and during downtime were selected to dance at shows more often than those who did not participate. Shocker. Being personable & forming a relationship with someone and having that lead to more opportunities? Who'da thunk it!?

-Not being strong enough to withstand peer pressure to touch some boobs.

-Being a prude virgin who was uncomfortable with Lizzo going to a backroom with her boyfriend. Like WTAF?

-Shocked that the European managers were fat-phobic and racist. Like babes, of course. Read a history book.

-Again, not having enough self-preservation and personal strength to take a bathroom break which caused one woman to soil herself. Upset that the only other change of clothes available were the suggestive see-thru dance costumes.

-Upset they had to reaudition for their spots because Lizzo said they had become lazy and complacent.

-During a private meeting with Lizzo & her choreographer in which they asked the dancer if everything was fine because she didn't seem as happy on tour as she was in the beginning, she disclosed medical information re: her mental health with them. When Lizzo & the choreo offered her time off from rehearsals to attend therapy, she declined because she was afraid it'd make her seem weak. Was fired 5 days later.

-Illegally recorded a conversation w/ Lizzo without permission. Did so under the guise of having a medical condition that causes her to become disoriented in stressful situations. She says she likes to record stressful situations to review them later. She admitted to making the recording & told Lizzo & the team it was deleted. She was fired on the spot. Consented to a physical search of her phone to prove the recording was deleted.

-3rd dancer quit in solidarity with the one above.

I had to tap out. I made it to page 30 but I have to go pick up a kid from practice.

Pretty much a big ol' nothing-burger, IMO.

The one person who has an actual claim isn't listed as part of the suit. This would be a bodyguard who got up on stage in Amsterdam & had his pants pulled down.

If it’s being a snowflake to not want to be pressured into eating a banana that had been inside a stripper’s vagina…I’m Team Snowflake.

That complaint is wild. 40% gen z fragility, 40% rockstar shenanigans/ thug lyfe, 20% actual bad behavior. What a mess.

A lot of these girls knew what they were signing up for. It’s like a waiter in a strip club offended that there are naked people around.

I bet 80% is jealousy that they are not the chosen ones and BFFs with L.
20% is probably legitimate, and their lawyers convinced them to put it all out there.

Good luck to them!!

I have no idea if they have an actual legal claim, but I think it sounds like an absolutely awful work environment and if there is any truth at all to these allegations, it really makes me lose any respect for Lizzo.

People who exploit their authority over people who work for them in this way suck. That's it. It's a bad personality trait. If you're in a position of power, the very least you can do is not use that power to hurt people. I'm not even saying you should use it to help people. Just don't be an a$$hole. It shouldn't be that hard.

DP, but I've encountered this. It's a reflection of self-loathing. My mom and MIL, who are both overweight, are like this. They are hyper aware of how much everyone ways and will mention any weight gain or weight loss, and they saw awful things about other women they deem to be too fat. It's very transparently a reflection of their feelings about their own bodies.

I also think people don't say anything when a fat person criticizes other fat people, whereas if a thin person did it, people would call them on it.

Not tame at all.

My husband works in the entertainment industry. E.g. the bathroom use is given a very serious consideration. There are planned breaks, and where there is a time/logistics crunch, they put some thought into the bathroom assignments and post a list on each bathroom who is allowed to use it based on who is on stage when, and any special needs. This is basic.
