Lizzo Says Accusations of Abuse are Bananas, Flutist Flouts, Sows Seeds of Doubt About Lawsuit

Share

Lizzo, the outspoken flute playing R&B star, denies any of the accusations hurled at her in a lawsuit from the former employees who danced on her last tour. The dancers said they had been “exposed to an overtly sexual atmosphere that permeated their workplace,” in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Lizzo says it’s ‘bananas’ that she’d be sticking peelable fruit in ladies’ private places. She also reminds us that she’s always stood up to body shaming and wouldn’t do it to her staff. My gut instinct is that I believe her.

It’s ABOUT DAMN TIME she spoke up. All kinds of anonymous sources are speaking up, telling backstage stories.
