Lizzo‘s lawyer has revealed that the singer intends to sue her former backup dancers for “malicious prosecution” following their lawsuit against her.The pop star is being sued by three of her former backup dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – in a lawsuit that names Lizzo, her production company Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., and her dance team captain Shirlene Quigley as defendants. In the suit, Lizzo’s former backup dancers accuse her of creating a hostile work environment and engaging in sexual harassment among other allegations.According to a statement shared by Lizzo’s attorney Martin Singer on Wednesday (August 23), they “intend to sue for malicious prosecution after she prevails and these specious claims are dismissed”.
He also added: “The lawsuit is a sham.”Singer also provided photos of the plaintiffs with “the performers after the topless cabaret show at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris” on March 5. According to their lawsuit, the plaintiffs (Davis, Williams and Rodriguez) claimed that Lizzo “failed to mention when inviting the dancers to this performance was that it was a nude cabaret bar.”Lizzo’s lawyer also said that all three dancers returned to work on the tour following the Paris outing.

Lizzo’s former backup dancers aren’t being rattled by her countersuit.
Lizzo intends to countersue the former members of her dance team who have accused her of inappropriate and unfair conduct, one of the lawyers representing the musician has said.The lawsuit filed by three former members of Lizzo’s Big Grrrls dance outfit is a “sham”, according to attorney Marty Singer, who reckons that photos and videos already in circulation counter many of the claims made in that litigation.As a result, he adds, he expects the case to be dismissed, after which Lizzo will likely pursue her own legal action in order to protect her reputation.Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez make a number of allegations in their lawsuit against Lizzo and her Big Grrrl Big Touring company.Among other things, they claim that their former employer made false allegations of unprofessional behaviour against her dancers and then forced them to go through a “brutal” twelve hour re-auditioning process, while also weight-shaming members of her team in contrast to public statements about body positivity.Elsewhere, they say that “Lizzo pressured plaintiffs and all her employees to attend outings where nudity and sexuality were a focal point and disregarded any apprehension from plaintiffs”.On one such occasion, at a club in Amsterdam, the lawsuit adds: “Lizzo hounded Davis to touch a performer despite Davis repeatedly expressing she did not want to.
