“Lizzo is a terrible person”: Body Positivity Stalwart Allegedly Made Dancers Eat Bananas Out of Prostitute V**inas
American singer and rapper Lizzo tends to make headlines on a regular basis – but not every front-page story about her makes her fans go bananas.
The four-time Grammy Award winner is undoubtedly excellent at her craft, and when she’s not topping the billboard charts, she’s lauded for being an icon of body positivity. Time and again she admirably promotes the cause of self-love and accepting one’s body in all its state.

However, the same can’t be said about her alleged attitude toward a positive work environment.
What Is Lizzo Being Sued For
Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez used to work for Lizzo, who on the surface seems like a perfect boss to work under if all her messages and songs regarding women’s empowerment are to be taken seriously.
However, now all three dancers are no longer part of the About Damn Time singer’s crew and have now taken her to court for allegedly pressuring them to take part in s*x shows during a concert trip to Amsterdam in February of this year. Apart from disturbing details from a night out in the city’s red light district, there are also allegations regarding weight shaming.
The lawsuit, as per Page Six, states: “.. things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the n*de performers, catching d*ldos launched from the performers’ v*ginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ v*ginas.”

It’s okay to be hurt when someone disappoints you.
The Lizzo stuff is gutting. It doesn’t matter if you suspected or if you have a great analysis
There’s nothing WRONG with the human desire of wanting someone to be decent and having them fail

The suit has been filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and names Lizzo (Melissa Viviane Jefferson), her production company Big Grrrl Big Touring, and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley as defendants.
It is added that the dancers were subjected to an “excruciating” audition. Plaintiffs Davis and Williams, who joined Lizzo’s crew after featuring on her Amazon reality show, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls (2021), claim they were eventually fired. Rodriguez, meanwhile, resigned earlier this year.
Did Beyonce Snub Lizzo’s Name
Lizzo is already facing backlash on social media, and should the claims be proven in court, the outcome will hurt the Truth Hurts singer.
We are already seeing some apparent repercussions in the aftermath of early morning’s development, as Beyonce left out the 35-year-old’s name from the lyrics of her Break My Soul (The Queens Remix) song.
Beyoncé seemingly skips over Lizzo’s name during the Queens Remix performance of ‘Break My Soul’ tonight at the Renaissance World Tour.
She instead repeats Erykah Badu’s name four times.

The iconic musician is currently on The Renaissance Tour, and Byeonce’s latest show at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, which came hours after the news about Lizzo broke, saw her skipping over the controversial performer’s name and instead repeating Erykah Badu’s four times.
The original lyric includes names of progressive female artists: Betty Davis, Solange Knowles, Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl.
