Lizzo’s former backup dancers suing the singer for sexual harassment believe her plan to countersue them is an “insidious attempt at intimidation,” according to their lawyers.

“Lizzo’s threat to countersue for malicious prosecution is an insidious attempt at intimidation and delivers a chilling effect to all harassment victims in the workplace,” attorney Ron Zambrano, who represents plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, says in a statement to Page Six.

“The scare tactics, bullying and victim shaming coming from Lizzo’s team is exactly the behavior employees face in the entertainment industry who feel they have no choice but to ‘suck it up’ for access and success,” the lawyer adds.

Zambrano claims the “Good as Hell” performer is trying to scare other alleged victims from coming forward with similar accusations.

“Her team is merely trying to suppress the truth and hide her hypocrisy of publicizing her brand as one of empowerment and body positivity while privately depriving women of their empowerment,” Zambrano says.

“Lizzo certainly isn’t empowering women by way of her threats, rather she is disenfranchising them, but this lawsuit isn’t just about her. This sort of behavior is pervasive in the entertainment industry. That doesn’t make it right, and it’s still illegal.”
