Dancers who filed lawsuit against Lizzo finally speak out about 'weight-shaming'
The dancers who filed a lawsuit against Lizzo have spoken publicly for the first time about the 'nuanced weight-shaming' they allegedly received from the singer. Arianna Davis and Crystal Williams appeared on NBC News, where they discussed the 'thinly-veiled' comments the body-positive singer would make about their appearance. "I just had this feeling that they had a problem with the way I was gaining weight and looking different and that I wasn’t 'the same' as when they first cast me", Davis says. "What I think people should take away is the fact that our experience is not an isolated experience." Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter

A 'killer sloth' horror movie is coming and no one can take the trailer seriously
The trailer has dropped for a new 'killer sloth' movie, and fans can't help but compare its parody-like nature to Cocaine Bear. Directed by Matthew Goodhue, Slotherhouse follows the story of a sorority girl who adopts a pet sloth in a bid to become more popular with the girls she lives with. However, 'Alpha' the sloth turns murderous, stabbing girls in the shower and creeping up on them in bed. It comes across as pretty terrifying, until you remember...it's a sloth. Slotherhouse lands in cinemas on 30 August 2023. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter
