Pop superstar Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, survived the fat-shaming accusations that were included in a broader sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former backup dancers. Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez, and Crystal Williams, who initially alleged that the singer made negative remarks about their weight during her The Special Tour in 2023, have now officially retracted this accusation.
According to Lizzo's legal team, the allegations were thoroughly refuted by sworn statements from 18 witnesses. The dismissal was first confirmed by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. The judge said Davis was fired because she recorded Lizzo without permission during a meeting and shared it with another former dancer, not because she was overweight.
