Lizzo Dancers Drop Fat‑Shaming Claims After Court Cites Unauthorized Recording

False imprisonment and harassment accusations continue in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Overview

  • A judge concluded Arianna Davis was fired for secretly recording a dancer meeting and sending the audio to a former colleague.
  • The plaintiffs abandoned the fat‑shaming counts and withdrew their appeal of that dismissal.
  • Lizzo’s attorneys said 18 sworn declarations filed with the court refuted the fat‑shaming allegations.
  • Plaintiffs’ counsel pointed to Judge Epstein’s earlier ruling that left most claims, including false imprisonment and harassment, in the case.
  • The 2023 lawsuit also alleges uncomfortable sexualized situations on tour stops in Amsterdam and Paris, which Lizzo denies.
