Lizzo Says Fat-Shaming Allegations Have Been Dropped as Lawsuit Continues

Other allegations still proceed in court.

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.
