Lizzo has officially clapped back.
After her former dancers accused her of sexual and religious harassment, creating a toxic work environment, disability discrimination, and SO much more, the pop star is fighting to repair her reputation!
In her formal response obtained by Page Six on Thursday, the About Damn Time artist asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss the so-called “ridiculous” lawsuit she is facing from her ex-dancers. ICYMI, Lizzo has been slammed with two suits. The first was filed by dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez (pictured above) back in August against the rapper, her production company Big Grrrl Touring, Inc., and dance captain Shirlene Quigley. Earlier this month, former employee Asha Daniels also filed her own suit with similar allegations.
In the court docs, Lizzo cited at least 31 lines of defense to explain why the initial lawsuit should be tossed out entirely. That said, she’s also requesting a trial by jury in response to the complaints. Oh, she’s not messing around!

Nirvana‘s ‘In Utero’ has recalled being “insulted” by Courtney Love in a book.Kera Schaley plays cello on the songs ‘All Apologies’ and B-side ‘Marigold’ on the Seattle trio’s 1993 album, and has rarely spoken about her appearance.To celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary though, she appeared on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast to discuss her experience in the studio, and a run-in with Love.Revealing that she hasn’t spoken to any Nirvana member since she appeared on the album, Schaley said: “The only thing I heard, and this is embarrassing, but I am insulted by Courtney Love in that Come As You Are book.”In the book by Michael Azzerad, ‘In Utero’ producer Steve Albini – the then-girlfriend of Schaley – reportedly labelled Love a “psycho hose beast,” to which she responded: “The only way Steve Albini would think I was a perfect girlfriend, would be if I was from the East Coast, played the cello, had small hoop earrings, wore black turtlenecks, had all matching luggage, and never said a word.”Schaley said: “She doesn’t say my name, but she makes all these references, and all my friends like are sending me this thing going, look at what she said about me. And I was like, that’s pretty catty for a so-called feminist.“So I sent her a joke letter, teasing her about it, and she called me in the middle of the night one time, and I honestly was half asleep, but her way of apologising was saying, “I’m sorry you thought I was talking about you.””Next month, Nirvana will release a 30th anniversary reissue of ‘In Utero’.

It was totally shocking.”She added: “I was listening to this Black woman on this huge stage have this message of self-love and caring for others and being empathetic and being strong and standing up for others.“And I was witnessing myself, the dancers and the background vocalists and my local team in every city be harassed and bullied regularly.”The lawsuit accuses Lizzo’s wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura of referring to dancers as “fat,” “useless” and “dumb” and alleges that Daniels was fired by Nomura after complaining.It added that Nomura would allegedly perform stereotypical impressions of Black women and make them change in front of a largely white and male crew who would “lewdly gawk” at them.In a statement, Daniels’ lawyer Ron Zambrano said: “Lizzo is the boss, so the buck stops with her.”In response, a spokesperson for Lizzo claimed that the lawsuit was “a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit” from a person who “never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo.”It added: “We will pay this as much attention as it deserves.
