Lizzo is speaking out after her legal victory.
If you forgot, the 37-year-old “Truth Hurts” singer was sued in 2023 by three of her former backup dancers – Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez, and Crystal Williams – who accused her of fat-shaming and sexual harassment.
On December 12, Lizzo‘s lawyer Marty Singer and his partner Melissa Glass told TMZ the claims lacked merit, and that 18 witnesses refuted the accusations in court.
The attorneys alleged that Davis was fired because “an unauthorized recording of Lizzo in a dancer meeting and sent it to Williams, who was no longer working on The Special Tour.”
The judge in the case concluded that Davis‘ firing was justified because of her secret recordings and the accusers dropped their appeal of the dismissal of the fat-shaming claims.
After the claims were officially dropped, Lizzo took to Instagram to react.

She continued, “They weren’t fired for gaining weight. They were fired for taking a private recording of me without my consent and sending it off to ex employees. I have never fired an employee for gaining weight. I have only encouraged and supported people with bigger bodies and shared my platform with them.”
“This claim has haunted me since the day it came out,” the Grammy winner went on. “It has been devastating to suffer through this in silence but I let my lawyers lead and I’m so grateful for this victory.”
Lizzo concluded, “I am still in a legal battle. I am not settling. I will be fighting every single claim until the truth is out.”
In a recent interview, Lizzo shared how her music comeback plans crumbled because of the lawsuits and allegations.
