Lizzo faced accusations of hypocrisy after preaching body positivity in a video, after earlier being accused of ‘fat-shaming’ her dancers.
The 35-year-old singer uploaded a video on Tuesday in which she jokingly advised her followers on how to have a’summer body’.
In the video, the Good As Hell hitmaker is seen walking on a treadmill while wearing a pale pink swimsuit.
She says to the camera, ‘Three workouts to help you obtain that summer physique.’
The actor is seen standing in front of a pool and answering a phone, saying, “Hello?” Who is this? She then says, ‘Block your ex,’ before throwing her phone into the pool.

In the next video, Lizzo is seen wearing a purple bikini top and bottoms while performing bicep curls. She then holds out a bottle of wine and advises, “Remember to hydrate excessively.”
She captioned the photo, ‘Cus EVERY DAMN BODY is a Summer Body.’
However, some of Lizzo’s followers were dissatisfied by the tweet, given that she has previously been accused of fat-shaming her dancers.
They commented on her video, ‘Are you still fat shaming people?’.’Oh, Lord, she’s trying too hard now.’
‘Don’t worry, everyone. The gaslighting “stop judging my body”… “I quit” post will appear shortly.’
Others defended her, adding, ‘She single-handedly revolutionized the perception of body positivity’. Partners appreciate a confident queen, regardless of physical type.
Lizzo’s backup dancers filed a lawsuit alleging a hostile workplace environment, including weight shaming and 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment.Lizzo disputed the allegations.
Some of Lizzo’s followers were dissatisfied with the post, given she has previously been accused of fat-shaming her dancers.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez accused the pop diva of being ‘fat-phobic’ and criticized her response to their complaint as hypocritical and a ‘punch.’
Lizzo, a plus-size advocate for body positivity, may be fat-phobic, which is concerning. Davis emphasized the need of understanding that hurting others causes harm to others.
Davis stated how, when she gained weight, Lizzo expressed concern about her: ‘My demeanor, enthusiasm, and dance abilities were all the same. It was the first time I had visibly gained weight, and she expressed concern for me. I can only attribute that to my weight gain,” she continued.
Meanwhile, Williams continued, ‘You can see a prominent figure and all you know about them is what they show to you when the cameras are on and rolling.’
Others defended her, adding, ‘She single-handedly revolutionized the perception of body positivity’. Partners appreciate a confident queen regardless of her body type.
Davis responded to Lizzo’s Instagram post in which she refuted the allegations, saying, ‘This post felt like a punch.’
Williams expressed disappointment that they did not receive a “acknowledgement of our feelings” despite the fact that her business preaches about women’s empowerment.
She called Lizzo’s reaction hypocritical and contradictory to what she claims to stand for.
‘I am honestly astounded by the hypocrisy of all you stand for. You are contradicting yourself right in front of us.
Meanwhile, Rodriguez added, “For the many women who have come forward and said they felt the same, or who have shared their stories with us because they don’t want to publicly share it yet, it completely invalidates all of our experience, trauma, and pain.”
Rodriguez also showed the moment Lizzo reportedly threatened her after she expressed her want to retire because she felt ‘unsafe’ and ‘disrespected.’
‘She literally started balling her fists and cracking her knuckles, and she was like ‘You’re so effin lucky right now,’ as she was inching her way towards me.’
Davis also burst into tears as she described the incident in which Lizzo reportedly forced her to touch a naked performer during a 𝑠e𝑥 performance in Amsterdam.

The trio doubled down on their claims against the pop star after filing a lawsuit over an alleged hostile workplace environment, weight shaming and 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment
‘She started a chant, after I said “no” multiple times,’ Davis said, explaining how Lizzo began to chant her name, ‘Ari’.
‘I briefly touched the performer and withdrew my hands, and you know, everyone kind of burst into laughter ’cause me of all people they thought it was funny that I was touching this performer.’
‘I kind of laugh it off,’ she said, as her voice cracked. ‘Sorry, I’m a little emotional about it.’
‘I even remember making jokes about it because I just was trying to get the attention away from me.’
When the interviewer asked if she could not have left earlier, Davis replied, ‘We’re here because we want to be good enough for Lizzo.’
The dancers also claimed they felt like their job was always on the line.
‘Our jobs are always being threatened. I personally never had job security in this whole – this whole entire time,’ Davis said.
The singer addressed all the claims and said her morals and values have been called into question
She and Williams were fired, while Rodriguez resigned in what she claims was a response to the pair’s alleged treatment.
In her statement addressing the allegations, Lizzo wrote: ‘These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.
‘My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.
‘These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.
‘As an artist I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because at the end of the day I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans.
‘With passion comes hard work and high standards. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it’s never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren’t valued as an important part of the team.
‘l am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.
‘I am very open with my 𝑠e𝑥uality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not.
‘There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world. I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.
‘I’m hurt but I will not let the good work I’ve done in the world be overshadowed by this. I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support to lift me up during this difficult time.’
Arianna, Crystal and Noelle have accused the Grammy winner – as well as the Big Grrrl Big Touring and dance team captain Shirlene Quigley – of creating a ‘𝑠e𝑥ually charged and uncomfortable’ work environment in their lawsuit.
The trio claim while on a concert trip with the artist to Amsterdam in February 2023, Lizzo invited them for a night out on the town that ended in the city’s Red Light District.
Lizzo has been accused of encouraging ‘catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas’; Pictured 2023
They said in their filing: ‘Things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.’
The dancers added Lizzo allegedly ‘pressured’ and ‘goaded’ Arianna into touching one of the nude performers’ breasts.
In another instance, the plaintiffs claim Lizzo invited the dancers to a club in Paris – but failed to mention that it was a nude cabaret bar. This ‘shocked’ the dancers, who said Lizzo ‘robbed them of the choice not to participate,’ the suit said.
Hours after the lawsuit news was made public, Lizzo’s former creative director Quinn Whitney Wilson and dancer Courtney Hollinquest claimed they experienced similar mistreatment.
In February, Lizzo’s request to have the case dismissed was denied by a L.A. County Superior Court judge and ruled the case will continue to go forward.
The dancers’ lawyer, Zambrano, told People, ‘We’re very pleased with the judge’s ruling, and we absolutely consider it a victory on balance.’
However, some allegations had been dismissed, such as Arianna Davis’ claim that she had fat-shamed as well as a naked photo shoot.
He added: ‘All the other claims remain, including 𝑠e𝑥ual, religious and racial discrimination, 𝑠e𝑥ual harassment, the demeaning visits to the Bananenbar in Amsterdam and Crazy Horse in Paris, false imprisonment, and assault…’
Since the allegations came to light by the ex-dancers, Lizzo has continuously denied the claims. Back in October, the music artist’s legal team had labeled the lawsuit as a ‘fabricated sob story.’
Following the lawsuit and her request for it to be dismissed being denied, Lizzo has still continued to make public outings.
