Lizzo on lawsuit: "I am not the villain"

Lizzo responded Thursday after three of her former backup dancers filed a lawsuit, alleging sexual harassment and accusing the four-time Grammy winner of creating a hostile work environment. In a statement posted across social media, Lizzo said she's "hurt" and called the "false allegations" both "unbelievable" and "outrageous."

"These last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned," the 35-year-old pop star wrote. "My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed."
