Lizzo Fights Lawsuit: 'Fighting the case because I know it's not true'

Pop star Lizzo is actively contesting a lawsuit filed nearly three years ago by three former backup dancers. The dancers accuse the Grammy winner of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Among the serious allegations is a claim that Lizzo fat-shamed one dancer and subsequently fired her due to weight gain. Lizzo, known for her body positivity advocacy, told CBS Mornings that she took this accusation particularly seriously.

In December, a judge dismissed some core claims, including the fat-shaming charge. However, Lizzo still faces accusations of pressuring a dancer to touch a nude woman during an Amsterdam outing.

Lizzo firmly denies all accusations and stated she is prepared to testify if the case goes to trial, aiming to prove the truth is less sensational than the claims suggest. This legal fight comes as Lizzo releases her new song 'Bitch,' sampling Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliott.
