"To be honest, if you were in a big company and they acted exactly the same way they did on tour, we would immediately talk about abuse in HR." Today, three of them denounce these abuses. "No one dares to speak out because they are afraid of losing their job. I myself was terrified of losing my job," says Arianna Davis, a former dancer for American singer Lizzo.
The artist is being prosecuted for cases of "harassment", "discrimination" and "aggression" in particular, according to court documents seen by AFP. Plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez denounce a particularly hostile work environment, including rehearsals that would last up to 12 hours straight.
According to their law firm, they also reported "sexual, religious and racial harassment, discrimination related to disability, assault and forcible confinement, among other things." The three dancers also spoke of a dispute over their remuneration. The singer spoke on Thursday on her social networks to deny the accusations.
