Lizzo Breaks Silence on ‘Fat-Shaming’ Allegations Being Dropped From Ex-Employees’ Lawsuit Appeal

Lizzo has publicly responded after the fat-shaming allegations in a lawsuit brought by three of her former dancers were formally dropped, marking a notable development in the ongoing legal dispute that began in 2023. The artist took to social media with a video message emphasizing that the claims had been conceded as without merit by her accusers and dismissed in court, asserting that there was no evidence she fired anyone due to weight gain.

In her statement, Lizzo maintained that the dismissal of the fat-shaming portion of the case affirms her position that such conduct never occurred, and she attributed the dismissal to a lack of substantiating evidence. She reiterated that the dancers were allegedly let go over a separate issue involving a private recording taken without her consent — a point she highlighted as central to the legal outcome.

Describing the experience of having the allegations made against her as “devastating,” Lizzo expressed gratitude for the legal victory on that specific claim and reaffirmed her commitment to continue contesting the remaining allegations in the broader lawsuit, which still includes claims related to a hostile work environment and other workplace disputes.

Lizzo’s remarks come amid continued scrutiny of the multiple facets of the case, with her legal team and spokespeople stressing their intention to fight all aspects of the lawsuit, even as the drop of the fat-shaming allegations represents a partial procedural win for the singer.
