Just like the rest of the internet, Lizzo’s ex-backup dancers aren’t thrilled with her response to their lawsuit!
If you haven’t been following the drama, the singer’s former dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez accused the Truth Hurts singer, her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc., and her dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, of sexual harassment, fostering a hostile work environment, religious harassment, and much more in a shocking lawsuit on Tuesday.
Lizzo — who built her career promoting body positivity — finally reacted to the troublesome filing early Thursday morning, calling the claims “false” and “outrageous.” She also specifically addressed the body shaming allegations, saying she would “absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.”

Ron Zambrano, the LA attorney representing plaintiffs Davis, Williams and Rodriguez, hit back in a statement to ET on Thursday afternoon, claiming the 35-year-old About Damn Time vocalist’s denial of the claims is making everything worse. He explained:
It is never easy to speak out against an alleged abuser — but it is especially challenging to do so against a public figure in the spotlight. We can understand why they may be feeling extra distressed following Lizzo’s response. That said, the girls are not backing down from the fight:
Damn! CALL HER OUT!
