Grammy-winning artist Lizzo has responded to allegations of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment levied against her by three former dancers in a lawsuit this week.
In an Instagram post Thursday morning, the 35-year-old singer said the last few days have been “gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.” She went on to call the allegations “unbelievable” and “outrageous.”
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, claims that Lizzo’s company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, and dance team captain Shirlene Quigley pressured dancers to engage with nude performers in Amsterdam earlier this year. The dancers also allege that they were put on “more stringent” rules than other people who were part of the tour, and had been falsely accused of drinking before.
Lizzo said she usually chooses not to respond to false allegations, but felt it was necessary to address these. She did not provide further comment on the specifics of the allegations.
The lawsuit is ongoing, and no further information has been released. Lizzo is yet to comment further on the matter.
