a member of Lizzo’s wardrobe department filed a lawsuit against the pop star and her touring team – citing illegal retaliatory termination, racial and sexual harassment, and a hostile work environment.According to a report by Music News, the attorney representing Lizzo filed a motion to dismiss the “meritless and salacious” complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday (December 15).

It also claimed that the former “disgruntled” employee “failed to perform the work that she was assigned” before she “refused to show up for work”.They also claim that the stylist was terminated after less than three weeks of employment for “abandoning her post” on the day of Lizzo’s concert in Paris, France in March, and argued that the case should be dismissed as it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction as the plaintiff “is a New York resident who worked for a Delaware corporation in Europe”.Responding to the pop star’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, the plaintiff’s lawyer Ron Zambrando said: “This motion was expected and is yet another Hail Mary by Lizzo’s team to try to shift blame to the victims, as she has done to the three other plaintiffs who have sued her for similar allegations of harassment, disability discrimination and retaliatory termination.”He continued: “Lizzo and her lawyers can continue trying to rationalise her illegal and wretched conduct, but we remain committed to seeking justice for our clients and look forward to our day in court where Lizzo can explain her behaviour in a public forum.”This isn’t the first time that Lizzo has faced legal action from her former employees.

Back in August, news broke that three former backup dancers for the singer had filed lawsuits against her, accusing her of creating a hostile work environment and engaging in sexual harassment, among other allegations.The incidents are alleged to have taken place between 2021 and 2023.
