The show of support comes after the singer was hit with a lawsuit from former dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment — allegations Lizzo has denied.
Steve Jennings / WireImageLizzo's current backup dancers have expressed support for the singer, thanking her for"shattering limitations and kicking in the door way" for them as the artist, Lizzo's dance troupe, known as the"Big Grrrls," said they have"had the time of our lives" on"The Special Tour," which ended in July.
"We have been so honored to share the stage with such amazing talent. The commitment to character and culture taking precedence over every movement and moment has been one of the Greatest lessons and Blessings that we could possibly ask for," the post said. "THANK YOU to Lizzo for shattering limitations and kicking in the door way for the Big Grrrl & Big Boiii Dancers to do what we love! You have created a platform where we have been able to parallel our Passion with a purpose!" it continued.
The statement comes just over two weeks after Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, was hit with a lawsuit from former dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, allegations the singer denies. NBC News was first to report on the lawsuit. Among the allegations were that the singer pressured one of them to touch a nude performer at an Amsterdam club and subjected the group to an"excruciating" audition after making false accusations that they were drinking on the job.
