Lizzo is reportedly considering a full interview following the legal dispute with her former backup dancers who accused her of creating a hostile work environment and discriminatory behavior. Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis, the dancers, have made claims of assault, false imprisonment, and harassment based on their race, religion, and sexual orientation. Lizzo has expressed her desire to address the allegations to clear her name and defend her character.
Although Lizzo is cautious due to potential legal implications, the singer is contemplating an interview with CBS News anchor Gayle King to discuss the matter. Lizzo has received offers for sit-down interviews, given the high-profile nature of the controversy and the impact on her reputation. The source emphasized Lizzo’s eagerness to speak the truth, as the allegations have already damaged her reputation even before any legal validation.
In response to the allegations, Lizzo pointed out that the claims came from former employees who had admitted their behavior was wrong and unprofessional. Her lawyer, Marty Singer, has indicated plans to file a lawsuit against the three former dancers. The situation continues to evolve as the legal process unfolds, and Lizzo considers her options for addressing the allegations publicly.
