Part 4/9:
One of the more alarming allegations is that Lizzo, despite her own body positivity brand, publicly and privately shamed dancers for gaining weight. The lawsuit claims she made comments implying that dancers needed to disclose personal weight information to keep their jobs, especially if they struggled with eating disorders—a reflection of alleged hypocrisy given Lizzo's own size and advocacy.
Additionally, the lawsuit describes a humiliating incident where Lizzo led chantings encouraging a dancer to touch a performer nude, asserting pressure that caused at least one dancer to comply despite discomfort. Simultaneously, there are reports of religious coercion and body shaming—an ironic twist given Lizzo's image as a liberator of individuality.
