Lawsuit Filed By Lizzo’s Former Dancers Is A Fabricated Sob Story – Lawyer

Popular singer, Lizzo’s legal team has come out to brand a lawsuit filed by three of her former dancers as a fabricated sob story.

Recall that she was sued in August by three ex-members of her Big Grrls dance troupe who accused her of discrimination, s*xual harassment, and creating a hostile work environment.

In a motion to dismiss the case filed recently, her legal team argued the suit had been filed by a trio with an axe to grind against the star, and they had displayed a pattern of gross misconduct and failure to perform their job up to par before the filing.

It read, “Plaintiffs embarked on a press tour, vilifying defendants and pushing their fabricated sob story in the courts and in the media. That ends today.”

“Instead of taking any accountability for their own actions, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against defendants out of spite and in pursuit of media attention, public sympathy and a quick payday with minimal effort.”

WOW.
