Following a bombastic 2022, when Lizzo got halfway to EGOT status, topped charts with her single About Damn Time, and was ranked the top artist on TikTok for the whole year, the last thing anyone could have expected from the headlines this year was accusations of bullying, sexual harassment, and fat-shaming.
The news broke yesterday after three of Lizzo’s former dancers filed a lawsuit against her which included accusations of sexual, religious, and racial harassment, discrimination, assault, and false imprisonment. Lizzo has firmly denied the allegations, saying the past few days since their publication has been “overwhelmingly disappointing” and “gut-wrenchingly difficult”.
