In a long-standing case against Lizzo, there has been an update. Her request for the dismissal of the sexual harassment lawsuit against her has been rejected by Court. On Friday, a judge in the Los Angeles County Superior Court ruled that the case will proceed further.
The ruling was in response to an August 1, 2023 lawsuit in which the Grammy winner바카라s former background dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez - alleged that they were abused, harassed, and discriminated against, while working for the musician, and her company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc.
Ron Zambrano, the attorney representing the dancers, gave a statement to PEOPLE. He said, 바카라We바카라re very pleased with the judge바카라s ruling, and we absolutely consider it a victory on balance.바카라
He went on to add that Judge Mark H. Epstein 바카라did dismiss a few allegations,바카라 which included claims of Davis being fat-shamed, their involvement in a nude photo shoot, and dancers being forced to be on 바카라hold바카라 when not accompanying the 바카라Truth Hurts바카라 singer on tour.
바카라However, all the other claims remain, including sexual, religious and racial discrimination, sexual harassment, the demeaning visits to the Bananenbar in Amsterdam and Crazy Horse in Paris, false imprisonment, and assault. The ruling also rightfully signals that Lizzo 바카라 or any celebrity 바카라 is not insulated from this sort of reprehensible conduct merely because she is famous. We now look forward to conducting discovery and preparing the case for trial,바카라 Zambrano added further.
While Lizzo hasn바카라t personally spoken up about it, a spokesman, Stefan Friedman, told ET on her behalf that, 바카라We are pleased that Judge Epstein wisely threw out all or part of four of the plaintiffs바카라 causes of action. Lizzo is grateful to the judge for seeing through much of the noise and recognizing who she is 바카라 a strong woman who exists to lift others up and spread positivity. We plan to appeal all elements that the judge chose to keep in the lawsuit and are confident we will prevail.바카라
However, back in August 2023, Lizzo addressed the allegations on social media with a detailed statement, not pleading guilty to the 바카라outrageous바카라 claims and emphasizing that, 바카라I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be.바카라
