Lizzo’s Accusers Signed Up For Another Tour Following The Alleged Events

Earlier this month three of pop star Lizzo’s former dancers filed a lawsuit against her for sexual harassment. Many of the claims included sordid details about the sometimes  explicit and hostile work environment.

Apparently it turns out all three of them signed up for another tour following the alleged hostile incidents.

The Daily Mail reports:

Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis claim the plus-sized pop icon dragged them along to degrading sex shows while touring Europe in February and March.
The trio claim the raunchy displays left them grappling with emotional distress but within weeks all three had cut new deals with the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker, according to Lizzo’s powerhouse lawyer Marty Singer.
An agent for Davis, 24, and Williams, 26, signed a memorandum of agreement dated April 11 while a rep for 25-year-old Rodriguez confirmed her commitment in an April 4 email, according to paperwork shared exclusively with DailyMail.com.
Attorney-to-the-stars Singer insists that the former dancers’ lawsuit, filed in LA Super
ior Court, is riddled with contradictions and ‘significant’ factual inaccuracies.

‘Even at this early stage of the process, their case has been irreparably damaged,’ the veteran showbiz attorney told us.

Back in 2015 actress Halle Berry shockingly filed for divorce from her third husband, French actor Olivier Martinez. The beauty currently pays $8,000 a month to her daughter’s father, model Gabriel Aubry.

Now that the divorce is finally settled, Halle has been ordered to pay Olivier $8000/month, too.

Radar Online reports:

Halle Berry has finally finalized her divorce from ex-husband Olivier Martinez and has agreed to pay him $8,000 per month in child support, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Halle and Olivier were married from 2013 until their split in 2016. They share a son named Maceo. The couple’s divorce dragged on for years without a settlement being reached until now.
In the original petition, Halle demanded custody of their son. In addition, she revealed there was a prenuptial agreement signed that she wanted enforced. Olivier fired back demanding joint custody of their son.
In 2016, the two agreed to share physical and legal custody. However, the other outstanding issues were not decided at the time.
In the settlement, obtained by RadarOnline.com, the filing reads, “Halle and Olivier have acknowledged to the other that by entering into a negotiated settlement of all custody and child support issues between them, each has knowingly waived her/his right to a full evidentiary hearing on the merits with respect to those issues.”
The deal states both will continue to share custody of Maceo and consult the other on important life issues. Neither shall enroll their son in any extracurricular activity that interferes with the other’s custodial time, per the deal.
Further, Berry will be allowed to have family therapy with their son and her daughter from another relationship but her new boyfriend Van Hunt will not be allowed to participate in the therapy sessions.
Maceo will continue to study at a private school in Los Angeles which Halle will pay for as long as he’s in private school.
Per the agreement, first obtained by The Blast, Halle will pay her ex a total of $8,000 per month along with 4.3% of any income she receives above $2 million, “as and for additional child support for Maceo.”
Halle will also cover all medi
cal and dental expenses. The actress voluntarily paid the majority of Olivier’s legal fees.

Georgia Teacher Fired for Reading Gender Identity Book To Fifth-Grade Students

by
book

A Georgia teacher was fired for reading a book about gender identity to her fifth-grade class.

The Cobb County School Board voted 4-3 on Thursday night to fire fifth-grade teacher Katie Rinderle over the book “My Shadow is Purple” which she purchased at the school’s book fair.

Rinderle had been on paid leave until the school board made its decision. Her dismissal is effective immediately, 11 Alive News reported.

Rinderle read the book to her fifth-grade students, ages 9 and 10, at Due West Elementary school in March.

She said her students chose the book from several options for her to read – even though they are old enough to read.

“My Shadow is Purple” features a non-binary boy character whose “shadow” wears a dress. The book focuses on challenging society’s gender norms.

After reading to her class, Rinderle and the students discussed the book’s subject.

“That’s what our conversation was really focusing on … the power of not only embracing your unique differences and abilities, but then valuing those in others and learning from those,” Rinderle said in a video from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Less than a month after giving her students an assignment on gender identity, a parent complained to the Cobb County School District.

The school district said her choice of book violated Georgia’s Divisive Concepts Law, which was passed in 2022. The law gives parents more control over what’s taught in the classroom.

Rinderle’s attorney, Craig Goodmark, said teachers statewide don’t know what’s legal under the new law.

“The legislature has teachers in fear for their jobs, they don’t know what they can say and what they can’t say,” he told 11 Alive News.

“It’s impossible for a teacher to know what’s in the minds of parents when she starts her lesson,” he added.

“And for parents to be able, with a political agenda from outside the classroom, to come in and have a teacher fired, is simply unfair, it’s not right, and it’s terrible for Georgia’s education system.”

Rinderle’s termination hearing was held on Aug. 10. A disciplinary panel recommended that she keep her job. But the Cobb County School District rejected their recommendation, according to Fox 5 News.

Goodmark said he and a teacher’s union will consider appealing the termination and/or filing a wrongful termination lawsuit.

He added that Rinderle’s teacher’s license is not affected and she could go to work for another school district.

ICYMI: Afribembé Festival 2023 Recap

Screen Shot 2023 08 19 at 6.31.13 AM

At the intersection of Black August and Hip Hip 50, The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), in partnership with the Friends of Art Park Alliance (FAPA) hosted its 5th Annual AFRIBEMBÉ FESTIVAL: Black to the Future! last weekend.

A celebration of music, culture, and Black liberation, the daylong festival of Pan-African artistry, expression, and intergenerational exchange, was held at the Harlem Art Park and on E 120th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues.

CCCADI’s 5th annual AFRIBEMBÉ FESTIVAL harnessed the power of its theme, Black to the Future, to elevate Afrofuturism from a global Diasporic lens with Africa at the center with more than 1000 community members in attendance. 

This AFRIBEMBÉ made a special call to remember that our ancestors consistently pushed toward creating a future that stretched beyond the reality of their present. 

AFRIBEMBÉ’s featured artists and DJ lineup utilized global Diasporic rhythms and sounds to move festivalgoers through statements of Black identity, agency, and freedom. Featured artists that graced the Bembé Stage included Grammy-nominated Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez (presented in partnership with National Jazz Museum in Harlem), Combo Chimbita, Chimurenga Renaissance, Imani Uzuri, Asase Yaa Youth Ensemble, Chief Awosánmí Sékou Alájé, and DJ Bembona. Rasu Jilani served as the event’s MC.

Through artivism activities in the Family Village, the SoulFull Food Plaza, and the Ujamaa Marketplace, AFRIBEMBÉ’s intention was to inspire the community to envision and create a liberated future for the entire African Diaspora.

Bembé is an African word carried throughout the Diaspora with various meanings. From drumming to rhythm to party, we use the word Bembé as one of the terms that connect our Diaspora together in music, joy, and community.

Lizzo’s Current Dancers Stand In Solidarity With The Singer

Lizzo Announces New Single "Rumors" for August 13

Last month, several of pop star Lizzo’s former dancers filed a lawsuit against her claiming they were sexually harassed and working under hostile conditions. Explicit stories of events had fans wondering if the rumors were true. Now, Lizzo’s current dancers speak up in support. In a heartwarming letter posted on Instagram they wrote:

“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.

Ron Zambrano, the attorney representing the former dancers who filed the lawsuit, responded in a statement Friday saying it was “understandable that current employees would gush about her. They want to keep their jobs and maintain access to her global celebrity. But the comments change nothing about the allegations in the lawsuit.”

Zambrano said his firm has heard from at least 10 former Lizzo employees who’ve come forward with similar stories of abuse and harassment about the singer since the suit was filed Aug. 1.

“Some of them will certainly be actionable,” he said. “Lizzo’s job now is to try to do everything she can to limit the damage to her brand and save her career. Our job is to vigorously litigate this case on behalf of the plaintiffs based on the facts and we’re confident the truth will prevail over the spin.”
