Arianna Davis, one of the dancers involved in the lawsuit against Lizzo, shares her story with Scripps News.
Lizzo, the Grammy-award winning artist known for her commitment to empowering and supporting women, is now facing serious allegations in a recently filed lawsuit.
In addition to suing Lizzo, the dancers are also taking legal action against her production company, Big Girl Touring Inc., and the captain of her dance team, Shirlene Quigley."Do I think she's [Lizzo] a terrible person? No. And I don't want people to think that this is some sort of ploy to, like, run a smear campaign or anything like that," Davis told Scripps News.
"I don't know if it's fame, or money, or power that has, you know, kind of allowed her to lose herself," said Davis."But I've never felt more conscious about myself or my body in my life than on this job. And I've never lost myself the way that I've lost myself on this job.
"The power and balance is what makes this really so horrendous; you can't really say ‘no’ when a global icon is asking you to do these things, chanting these things, and encouraging others to make you do these things," Zambrano said."It's really like a hazing ritual, and instead of hazing in the normal sense that we know in college, it's really you should participate and look at these sexual acts, and you just shouldn't be doing that as an employer.
