The dancers filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court, which stated Lizzo called out one of the dancers, Arianna Davis, over weight-gain comments and later fired her after she recorded a dance session due to a health condition, according to an NBC News exclusive.

Lizzo’s dance team captain Shirlene Quigley was among the defendants mentioned in the complaint along with Lizzo’s production company. She reportedly used her religion to criticize those who engaged in premarital sex while sharing sexual fantasies and publicly sharing personal information about Davis being a virgin, according to the suit.

The plaintiffs believe Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, was aware of the complaints she received about Quigley’s behavior. Their lawyer, Ron Zambrano, said the 35-year-old seemingly went against everything she stood for, and her treatment against the dancers was “illegal.”
