On Thursday, the ‘Special’ singer’s attorneys formally denied the claims filed by three of her former dancers last month.
Lizzo has formally denied the accusations against her and asked a judge to dismiss the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former dancers last month.
In court documents filed by the GRAMMY winner’s legal team on Thursday and obtained by ET, Lizzo — whose legal name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson — and her touring group are asking the courts to dismiss the case made against them by Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, saying the former dancers’ court filing “fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against Defendants.”
The filed response claims the “plaintiffs are guilty of unclean hands,” which is a legal term meaning that they are not entitled to any damages because they allegedly acted in bad faith and/or unethically.
The docs go on to say, “Plaintiffs have ratified, acquiesced, condoned and/or approved of the acts or omissions of Defendants, in whole or in part, about which Plaintiffs now complain,” regarding the complaints made by Davis, Williams and Rodriguez.
“To the extent Plaintiffs allege punitive damages, the Complaint fails to allege a claim for which punitive damages can be recovered,” the response continues. “Defendants are not liable in whole or in part for punitive damages because they did not (a) engage in wrongful conduct, (b) authorize or ratify any wrongful conduct, or (c) have advance knowledge of the unfitness of any employee and employ that employee with a conscious disregard of the rights and safety of others.”

Nirvana‘s ‘In Utero’ has recalled being “insulted” by Courtney Love in a book.Kera Schaley plays cello on the songs ‘All Apologies’ and B-side ‘Marigold’ on the Seattle trio’s 1993 album, and has rarely spoken about her appearance.To celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary though, she appeared on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast to discuss her experience in the studio, and a run-in with Love.Revealing that she hasn’t spoken to any Nirvana member since she appeared on the album, Schaley said: “The only thing I heard, and this is embarrassing, but I am insulted by Courtney Love in that Come As You Are book.”In the book by Michael Azzerad, ‘In Utero’ producer Steve Albini – the then-girlfriend of Schaley – reportedly labelled Love a “psycho hose beast,” to which she responded: “The only way Steve Albini would think I was a perfect girlfriend, would be if I was from the East Coast, played the cello, had small hoop earrings, wore black turtlenecks, had all matching luggage, and never said a word.”Schaley said: “She doesn’t say my name, but she makes all these references, and all my friends like are sending me this thing going, look at what she said about me. And I was like, that’s pretty catty for a so-called feminist.“So I sent her a joke letter, teasing her about it, and she called me in the middle of the night one time, and I honestly was half asleep, but her way of apologising was saying, “I’m sorry you thought I was talking about you.””Next month, Nirvana will release a 30th anniversary reissue of ‘In Utero’.
