LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lizzo’s dancers agreed for extra work with the singer weeks after she allegedly sexually harassed them.
As per documents obtained by Daily Mail, Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis signed up for the third leg, a memorandum of agreement regarding the same was confirmed over emails in April.
The performers have accused the ‘Truth Hurts’ crooner of forcing them to perform degrading sex shows as the crew toured Europe in February and March.
The singer’s attorney claims that the case filed in LA Superior Court is full of contradictions and 'significant' factual inaccuracies.
“Even at this early stage of the process, their case has been irreparably damaged,” said Marty Singer.
What did the dancers claim in their legal suit?
The court documents filed by prosecutors read, "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."
It accuses the four-time Grammy winner of pressuring the dancers into interacting with sex show performers on an extravagant night on February 23, in Amsterdam’s red-light district.
“Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms Davis and began pressuring Ms Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women performing at the club. Lizzo began leading a chant goading Ms Davis,” read court documents.
The plaintiffs further claim that a month later Lizzo took them to another erotic show in Paris where 'nudity was prominently featured' without their prior knowledge.
What did Lizzo's attorney say on new twist?
The attorney pointed out the fact that the dancers, however, agreed to work further with Lizzo on her ‘The Special Tour.’
“Each of them had the choice to sign a new agreement to re-up for the third leg of the tour.
All three of them chose to sign an additional agreement to re-up for the third leg of the tour,” he said.
“If they had been subjected to horrific conduct by Lizzo, as claimed in the lawsuit, why would they have chosen to return?” the attorney questioned.
Singer, a few weeks back, slammed Davis' video for season two of Lizzo's ‘Watch Out’ for the Big Grrrls show.
"I've been working for Lizzo … for maybe close to a year now and it's been so amazing and such a beautiful journey," Davis said in the April 5 video, praising Lizzo as an inspiration and a 'queen'.
Singer said, “After Ms Davis's audition video became public, she tried to justify her glowing comments about Lizzo by falsely claiming that the bulk of their accusations were based on things that occurred after the video.”
