Lizzo Shares Uplifting Message Amid Allegations: Spreading Love From Japan
In the midst of recent allegations from her former dancers, pop sensation Lizzo is making a bold statement of positivity and resilience. The Grammy-winning artist, known for her empowering music and vibrant personality, recently took to Instagram to share her thoughts and spread a message of love, all the way from the streets of Shibuya, Japan.
Earlier this month, Lizzo found herself at the center of a lawsuit filed by several of her former dancers. The lawsuit contained claims of sexual, racial, and religious harassment, as well as allegations of poor working conditions. “We were treated poorly. Nobody did anything about it when we tried to speak up and advocate for ourselves. So now we’re doing it,” a former dancer Crystal Williams said in an interview for PEOPLE.
The artist, aged 35, responded to these accusations on social media, firmly asserting her innocence and describing the allegations as “outrageous” and beyond the realm of truth.
Undeterred by the legal battle, Lizzo has now broken her social media silence with a post that radiates positivity and strength. In the shared video, the Truth Hurts singer can be seen stepping into a sleek black SUV and striking poses in a vibrant ensemble that features shades of green, blue, and yellow, topped off with a pair of stylish sunglasses.
The caption of her post resonates with her intended message: “From Shibuya, with Love 💖”.
Sources close to Lizzo’s team have disclosed that the allegations took her by surprise and have been emotionally challenging for both the artist and her team. They emphasized that Lizzo has tirelessly built her career and personal life, making these allegations particularly jarring and unexpected.
Representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is attorney Ronald Zambrano, who has spoken candidly about the trauma experienced by the former dancers during their employment with the About Damn Time hitmaker. Zambrano noted a stark contrast between Lizzo’s public image of inclusivity and her alleged private behavior, emphasizing the dissonance between the persona she presents to the world and the allegations made against her.
In the midst of this legal turmoil, other members of Lizzo’s dance crew have stood in support of the artist. In an extended statement posted on Instagram, Lizzo’s Big Grrrl and Big Boiii dancers expressed their gratitude for the tour experience and the lessons learned from working with her. They praised her for providing a platform that allowed them to fuse their passion with a purpose and break through societal barriers.
