Starting with Lizzo is in some hot ass water right now. With three of her former dancers filing a lawsuit

0:27.5

yesterday where among other complaints, they accused her of sexual harassment, body shaming, and running a hostile work environment.

1:31.4

kind of incident. There was also allegedly another night in Paris where Lizzo invited everyone out,

but didn't make the plans clear. So the dancers didn't know until they were seated in a club
