Lizzo, the 38-year-old pop star, has been facing a slump in her career after her latest album failed to gain traction. Despite her previous successes with hits like “Truth Hurts” and “About Damn Time,” her new album has reportedly streamed under a million times on Spotify within the first 24 hours of its release and sold fewer than 3,000 copies in its first week.

Accusations and Lawsuits

Lizzo has also been dealing with accusations of sexual harassment, body shaming, and a hostile workplace, which were levied against her by three former dancers in 2023. The dancers, Noelle Rodriguez, Arianna Davis, and Crystal Williams, claim that they were pressured into attending nude shows and interacting with performers, which they allege was a part of the hostile work environment.

Lizzo has denied the accusations, calling them “false” and “as unbelievable as they sound.” Her attorney, Melissa Glass, has stated that the claims have no basis in reality and that 18 witnesses, including most of the other dancers on Lizzo’s tour, have refuted the allegations.

The lawsuit has been ongoing for three years, with both sides trading briefs and appeals. Last year, a judge threw out the accusations of body shaming, citing that events like the nude show outings were protected free speech as part of the creative process.

Impact on Career

The accusations and lawsuit have had a significant impact on Lizzo’s career, with many fans taken aback by the allegations. Lizzo has taken breaks from social media and has been focusing on her weight loss journey, which she has documented on social media.

Despite the challenges she is facing, Lizzo remains determined to continue her career and has stated that she is not afraid of the truth coming out. Her latest album may not have been a commercial success, but she is still a talented artist with a dedicated fan base.
