'Fat-shaming' Lizzo FIGHTS back, SUES the dancers who sued her for sexual harassment
Earlier this month, plus-size pop icon Lizzo was sued by her backup dancers for allegedly fat-shaming them, forcing them to engage in sexual activities, and a host of other issues.
But Lizzo isn’t having it. She’s apparently planning to countersue her dancers for “malicious prosecution.”
And she’s got pictures to prove it.
Well … she’s got pictures of her dancers smiling and looking happy, so we’ll see if that’s sufficient enough to disprove their claims.
“Do you think there's any merit to Lizzo's countersuit here, or is Lizzo just grasping at straws, trying to save her ample rear end?” Jason Whitlock asks Shemeka Michelle.
Shemeka knows “Lizzo is grasping at straws,” and she certainly doesn’t think the pop star's photographs are going to cut it in court.
“People go to jobs they don't like every day and smile and put on a happy face and go through what you have to do every single day, so I don't think that her case of 'they were still happy' or 'they continued to come to work' is a really good case for her to make,” she says.
“I don't believe her; I think that she made things uncomfortable because I watched the show 'Watch Out for the Big Grrrls' – they treat her like she should be worshiped, like she's some type of fat god, and so I do believe that she was able to pressure these girls,” she continues.
Jason agrees, adding, “You have to be very careful when you're in a power position and you have more financial resources than everybody around you – you almost have to ask people, constantly remind them, don't treat me like I'm special, or they will treat you like you're special, and then you'll start believing that you're special, and you'll start believing that your harassment is actually a good thing, and it's just fun.”
“That's what I see here – a lot of delusion that's fueled by Lizzo's delusion,” he adds.
