President Biden held a charity event in New York City at Radio City Music Hall that included previous Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. The occasion was moderated by Stephen Colbert and included an efficiency from Lizzo– who is involved in her own scandal including ex-dancers.
Other artists who carried out at the DNC fundraising occasion consist of Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. Tickets for the occasion expense in between $250 and $500,000, with more than 5,000 individuals anticipated to go to. Following the record-setting fundraising occasion, a lawyer for Lizzo’s previous dancers launched a declaration slamming her efficiency.
“It’s outrageous that Lizzo would be selected to heading an occasion like this amidst such outright accusations,” lawyer Ron Zambrano informed NewsNation“Without entering the politics, I can’t picture why anybody would desire Lizzo representing them in any method, offered her remiss habits. It’s simply a dreadful appearance.”
A trio of backup dancers for the vocalist submitted an unwanted sexual advances claim in August 2023 versus Lizzo. Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez, and Crystal Williams declare the dancer and her production business produced a “hostile, violent workplace” that made their “working conditions excruciating.”
They likewise declare that Lizzo pressured among them to touch a naked entertainer at a strip club in Amsterdam. Another accusation consists of Lizzo subjecting the group to “unbearable” auditions following allegations that the trio consumed on the task.
Lizzo’s lawyers argue that the dancers were fired with due cause for bad conduct after appearing intoxicated to work. “Plaintiffs missed out on flights, got here late and hungover to practice sessions and intoxicated to efficiencies, participated in consensual sexual relationships with male team members on trip, displayed a quick decrease in the quality of their dancing and professionalism, and eventually conspired to make and distribute an unapproved recording of an imaginative conference with Lizzo and the dance cast,” an October 2023 court filing checks out.
