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.
