If \u200cshe stays quiet, she is called a coward. Either way, it does\u200d not appear at\u2062 this moment that she can recover from this,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy and Allegations<\/h3>\n<p>At the center of the controversy are three \u2063former tour dancers \u2014\u200b Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez \u2014 who filed a complaint earlier this month in Los Angeles, \u200bdescribing the purportedly &#8220;body-positive&#8221; Lizzo as &#8220;anything but what she seems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They accused Lizzo of fat-shaming them on more than one occasion and using her position to pressure them into\u200c lewd and demeaning acts. None of this is new to the entertainment industry, but it certainly does not accord with Lizzo&#8217;s public persona.<\/p>\n<p>According\u200d to a \u2063report\u2064 from Breitbart, Lizzo took her dancers to a strip club in Amsterdam where she forced them to \u2062participate \u2062in a variety of degrading activities.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Ron Zambrano, representing the three plaintiffs, confirmed that he had been \u2064contacted by others who \u2063have shared similar stories about Lizzo.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison canceled a documentary \u200bshe had been filming about\u2064 the singer after two \u2063weeks of experiencing Lizzo&#8217;s behavior.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><em>WARNING: The following tweet contains language that some\u200b may find offensive.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was treated with such disrespect\u2063 by her,&#8221; she wrote at the \u2063time. &#8220;I witnessed how \u200darrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sharing this because validating other Black women&#8217;s experiences is deeply important to me.\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gd2xEK6szq\">pic.twitter.com\/gd2xEK6szq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sophia Nahli Allison\u200b (@SophiaNAllison) \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SophiaNAllison\/status\/1686521338264203264?\">August 1, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The NFL did not respond to requests for comment, and Lizzo has\u200d denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very open with my\u2062 sexuality and expressing myself, but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me\u2063 out to be something I\u2063 am not,&#8221; Lizzo said\u200b in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is nothing I take more seriously than the\u2062 respect we deserve as women in the world.
