One of the former dancers involved in the lawsuit against Lizzo is addressing a resurfaced clip of herself speaking favorably about the hitmaker.
Earlier this week, we learned that three dancers had filed a lawsuit against the “Rumors” hitmaker, accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
More people who worked for Lizzo but were not involved with the lawsuit proceeded to issue statements of support for the women.
However, a resurfaced video of one of the dancers seemingly contradicts some of the complaints about Lizzo listed in the lawsuit.

TMZ discovered a clip of Arianna Davis speaking about her experience working with Lizzo. It paints a different picture of the experience.
“It’s been so amazing and such a beautiful journey. I look up to her so much. I just want to follow in her footsteps, and I just want to share that with the Queen Lizzo herself,” she gushed in the clip.
Notably, the clip was filmed in early 2023. This is after incidents of inappropriate behavior on Lizzo‘s part that were mentioned in the lawsuit reportedly took place.
In a statement shared with TMZ, Arianna explained why the video presents a different side of the story: “Right up until the last minute I didn’t realize how bad it was and how much I was being taken advantage of. I just genuinely wanted to save my job. This video further explains how much I was trying to please Lizzo.”
Meanwhile, Lizzo‘s lawyer Marty Singer is using the clip to call the claims against their client into question.
“These do not sound like the words of someone who was harassed or discriminated against by someone they described as ‘THE QUEEN,’” they told the outlet. “They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and here a video shows that there are no legitimate claims in this lawsuit. We are confident that Lizzo will be completely vindicated in this matter.”
The video comes shortly after Lizzo broke her silence and addressed the accusations being thrown at her.
