One of the women who has accused Lizzo of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment openly praised the About Damn Time singer in a video audition from earlier this year.
Arianna Davis (pictured above) is one of the dancers formerly employed by Lizzo and her touring company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc., who has since filed suit against the star. Along with Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, Davis alleges major mistreatment at the hands of Lizzo, her touring company, and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley.
But on Thursday morning, TMZ published an audition video made by Davis in April of this year — long after the alleged touring incidents took place. And in this newly-unearthed audition clip, Davis loudly heaps praise on the Truth Hurts singer.

So, the two-minute video came about as part of Davis’ push to be cast on Season 2 of Lizzo’s Amazon streaming series Watch Out For The Big Grrrls. Of course, Davis had appeared as a dancer on Season 1; the lawsuit’s allegations stem from the tour that accompanied that show. But on the second season, Arianna was hoping to be re-cast as a singer instead of a dancer.
In the 120-second long video, the embattled dancer spoke directly to the camera — presumably to casting directors and producers — and started by calling her prior work with Lizzo “amazing” and a “beautiful journey.”
Arianna said:
Davis then claimed her “voice has gone quiet for too long,” and thus she was hoping to be re-cast to sing in Season 2 in order to “help change lives and do what Lizzo is doing.”
