Overview
- Three former backup dancers sued Lizzo in August 2023, alleging sexual harassment, weight‑shaming, disability discrimination and a hostile work environment.
- A separate suit by former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels was filed a month later; Lizzo was removed as an individual defendant and that wardrobe case was later dismissed in federal court.
- The dancers’ 2023 lawsuit remains active in federal court, with a judge allowing some claims to proceed while dismissing others.
- Lizzo has denied the allegations, told interviewers in October 2026 that she has “made peace” with how the world now sees her, and said she will not wage a headline battle.
- She is emphasizing positive work, including a new children’s book, as a way to rebuild her public story even though legal wins have not ended the reputational fallout.
