Judge Denies Lizzo's Request to Dismiss Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

The lawsuit, filed by three former backup dancers, accuses the singer of creating a hostile work environment and will proceed to trial.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has denied Lizzo's request to dismiss a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former backup dancers, allowing the case to proceed to trial.
The lawsuit accuses Lizzo of creating a hostile work environment, including allegations of sexual harassment, racial and religious discrimination, and forcing dancers to participate in inappropriate activities.
Some allegations, including claims of fat-shaming and a nude photoshoot, were dismissed by the judge, but the majority of the case will move forward.
Lizzo's legal team plans to appeal the decision, arguing that the lawsuit threatens free speech under California's anti-SLAPP statute.
The case has sparked significant public reaction, with some netizens criticizing Lizzo's actions while others defend her innocence.
