“Lizzo’s Jaw-Dropping Transformation: Is Her Pursuit of ‘Peace’ Changing the Way We View Body Image?”
Last year, a lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles, USA, against the songstress by three of her former dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez.
The legal action involved serious allegations of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment.

The lawsuit made several troubling allegations against Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, involving incidents that allegedly occurred between 2021 and 2023.
According to the legal documents, the dancers claimed they were “forced to endure sexually denigrating behavior” and “pressured into participating in disturbing sex shows.”
One of the dancers, Arianna Davis, alleged that Lizzo pressured her to touch the breasts of another performer during an Amsterdam nightclub event earlier this year, and the singer allegedly “began inviting cast members to take turns touching nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
Arianna, after resisting, eventually gave in, “fearing it may harm her future on the team.”

The lawsuit also included allegations against Lizzo’s dance captain, Shirlene Quigley. According to legal documents, Shirlene was accused of imposing her Christian beliefs on other performers and disparaging individuals who engaged in premarital sex.
