Last month three former back-up dancers for pop star Lizzo filed lawsuits accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment [click here if you missed that].
Lizzo files to have the case dismissed, calling the claims ridiculous...
From Page Six
Lizzo has asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss the “ridiculous” harassment lawsuits her former employees filed against her this year, Page Six has exclusively learned.
According to court documents we exclusively obtained Thursday, attorneys for the “About Damn Time” singer, 35, list at least 31 lines of defense that explain why the suits should be tossed out.
However, the Grammy winner is also requesting a trial by jury in response to the complaints.
In the new docs, Lizzo denies “each and every allegation” made against her, citing as one of her defenses that her ex-dancers are “guilty of unclean hands,” which is a legal term that accuses the plaintiff of participating in anything “unethical in relation to the subject of the lawsuit.”
Lizzo’s lawyers also point out that the singer’s team had “anti-discrimination and anti- harassment policies and complaint procedures in place,” which they claim the dancers “failed” to make available to themselves so that they could follow proper internal procedures.
“Defendants’ conduct was justified,” the court papers also state.
Lizzo also argues that in her defense there is no proof that her dancers suffered damages or losses because of her conduct and not their own or those of other entities.

Regardless of this case being tossed, where there is smoke there is fire, too many allegations for them to all be false, she has a disgusting spirit.
I honestly think it's a smear campaign
There is no reason for the case to be tossed. Lizzo just throwing everything out there and hoping for a life line.
