Lizzo’s Lawyer Reveals Singer’s Plans to Countersue in Response to Harassment Lawsuit
Lizzo is fighting back.
Weeks after she was sued by several of her former dancers for alleged sexual, racial, and religious harassment, the Grammy Award-winner’s lawyer, Marty Singer, announced on Wednesday, (Aug 24) that she plans to countersue.
According to photographic evidence shared by Singer, plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez were allegedly "happily cavorting backstage" with performers from Crazy Horse's topless cabaret show on March 5, 2023, in Paris despite claims that they were coerced into participating against their will.
"These images showing the three plaintiffs gleefully reveling backstage after the topless show were taken after their February 2023 visit to Bananenbar in Amsterdam that they complain about in their lawsuit," Singer wrote in a statement to PEOPLE citing another club where the plaintiffs asserted that they had faced pressure to be present and interact with unclothed performers. The attorney stated that all three ladies returned to work following the reported incident.
The statement continued, "These irrefutable photos and videos, along with additional substantial evidence, prove the glaring contradictions between what the plaintiff's claim in their bogus lawsuit and what is actually proven by the facts.”
Singer called the suit “a sham” adding that “Lizzo intends to sue for malicious prosecution after she prevails and these specious claims are dismissed."
Despite the emergence of the new photos, legal representation for the plaintiffs "stand by every claim in the lawsuit and look forward to trial.”
