In recent news, Lizzo has been under fire with a lawsuit including many of her former dancers coming out about their alleged harassment along with being in an unhealthy work environment. Lizzo has stepped back from the light in heat of everything that has been happening around her.
More recently another employee, Asha Daniels has sued her for condoning a hostile environment. Daniels also spoke out about the alleged hostile work environment.
Despite the allegations, and many dancers and former employees speaking on alleged experiences while working with Lizzo, many of her current dancers were present as Lizzo accepted her award. Some of the dancers even came on stage with her as she accepted the Humanitarian Award.
