Lizzo Requests 'Ridiculous' Harassment Lawsuit Be Dismissed as Accusers 'Look Forward' to Jury Trial

Lizzo has formally denied accusations by her former dancers in a harassment lawsuit.

In court documents filed by the "About Damn Time" singer on Thursday and obtained by PEOPLE, she and her touring group are asking that the case be dismissed "in its entirety with prejudice," stating that the dancer's court filing "fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action against Defendants."

The documents claims that the dancers are "guilty of unclean hands with regard to the matters at issue in the complaint and are therefore barred from seeking recovery theron." (Unclean hands means acting unethically.) Lizzo is also demanding a jury trial.

“This is the first step of a legal process in which Lizzo and her team will demonstrate that they have always practiced what they’ve preached – whether it comes to promoting body positivity, leading a safe and supportive workplace or protecting individuals from any kind of harassment," a spokesperson for Lizzo, 35, said in a statement. "Any and all claims to the contrary are ridiculous, and we look forward to proving so in a court of law."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for her former dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez — said Lizzo's response "merely consists of boilerplate objections that have nothing to do with the case."

"That said, the key takeaway is that Lizzo is agreeing to our clients’ demand for a jury trial," the statement continued. "We look forward to presenting our case in court and letting a panel of her peers decide who is telling the truth.”

In August, Lizzo’s former backup dancers filed a lawsuit against the singer for alleged sexual and racial harassment and creating a hostile work environment. They claimed they were pressured by Lizzo into touching nude performers while at a club in Amsterdam and were body-shamed.

In response, the "Good as Hell" singer shared a lengthy statement on social media declaring that she is “not the villain” and that the allegations being made against her were “too outrageous” not to address.

“There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world,” Lizzo said in the statement. “I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.”

Then, the Grammy-winner was hit with another lawsuit earlier this month from fashion designer Asha Daniels, who alleged that while Lizzo preached body positivity and inclusion, her employees were forced to work in a “racist and sexualized” environment.

“I was listening to this Black woman on this huge stage have this message of self-love and caring for others and being empathetic and being strong and standing up for others. And I was witnessing myself, the dancers and the background vocalists and my local team in every city be harassed and bullied regularly,” Daniels said, per NBC News. 

Lizzo's rep Stefan Friedman replied to the allegation by telling PEOPLE in a statement: “As Lizzo receives a Humanitarian Award from the Black Music Action Coalition for the incredible charitable work she has done to lift up all people, an ambulance-chasing lawyer tries to sully this honor by recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo. We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.”
