Lizzo's tour staff members are defending the singer against the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by some former dancers. In new legal documents, 18 independent members of Lizzo's touring company have expressed their support, disputing the claims made by three former dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez. One dancer, Kiara Mooring, countered the allegations of an unspoken rule regarding punishment for not going out with Lizzo, stating that dancers who didn't attend an event in Amsterdam's Bananenbar were not penalized and continued to work with Lizzo.
Another dancer, Melissa Locke, revealed that the accusers never expressed discomfort after the Bananenbar outing, and they seemed enthusiastic about the night out. The dancers also contradicted claims of body-shaming, racism, and fears of physical harm, stating that Lizzo had always promoted a positive and empowering environment. These statements are part of a motion filed by Lizzo's attorneys seeking the dismissal of the claims in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
