Five days later, Crystal was fired, with Lizzo’s team citing budget cuts as the reason behind the decision.

Lizzo allegedly went on to question Arianna’s “commitment,” which the dancer perceived as a thinly veiled criticism of her weight. Subsequently, the following month, Arianna claimed she was fired on the spot after Lizzo discovered that she had recorded performance notes.
The fired dancer attributed this decision to an eye condition that caused her to feel disoriented in stressful situations. The lawsuit did not mention a specific monetary figure sought for damages, which would cover emotional distress, lost wages, and attorney’s fees.
Lizzo has continued to be in the eye of the storm after the lawyer representing her former backup dancers released a contemptuous statement about her “childish tantrums.”
The lawyer’s statement came days after the singer released a statement in April 2024, stating: “I quit.” Her cryptic message did not specify whether she was quitting music, social media, or something else.
“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace,” Lizzo captioned her clip

At the time, the songstress wrote on Instagram: “I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet.
“All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it.
“I didn’t sign up for this s**t, I QUIT.”
