Three former dancers for Grammy-winning singer Lizzo accused her of creating a hostile work environment, including weight shaming and sexually denigrating behavior, in a lawsuit released on Tuesday. Reuters reports that the plaintiffs claim they were coerced into touching nude performers at an Amsterdam strip club in late February and that one was pressured to participate in a nude photo shoot to stay in a dance competition despite her discomfort. The lawsuit also alleges that Lizzo’s dance team captain harassed the dancers by subjecting them to her religious beliefs against their will.
