Overview
- The former dancers abandoned the fat-shaming counts after withdrawing their appeal of a February 2024 ruling by Judge Epstein.
- The judge previously found those claims barred and cited evidence that Arianna Davis was terminated for secretly recording a meeting, not for weight gain.
- Lizzo addressed the development in an Instagram and TikTok post, denying she has ever fired anyone for gaining weight and stating she will not settle.
- Her attorneys say 18 sworn declarations from tour personnel undermined the fat-shaming allegation.
- The plaintiffs’ lawyer said the case moves forward on the remaining claims, including sexual harassment, hostile work environment and false imprisonment.
