Lizzo Dodges Question About Hostile Workplace Allegations During Female Empowerment Event

by

Lizzo has experienced a pretty turbulent last couple of years, mostly due to hostile workplace and sexual harassment allegations against her in a lawsuit from various former dancers, along with other claims. However, with the case still reportedly on hold for now, she feels much better about sharing her ups and downs, speaking on her mental health, and addressing the public more visibly. Well, sometimes. During Fortune‘s “Most Powerful Women” event, the singer was asked about the allegations for an interview. Her response does not go into much detail about the accusations, most likely for legal reasons. But it does suggest that this event wasn’t the space to go into that.

“You know, I don’t want to talk about things like that,” Lizzo expressed when asked how she felt about the allegations. “This isn’t the space for it. We’re celebrating female CEOs and powerful women. This isn’t really the space to talk about the negative things that happen to us. ‘Cause so much negative stuff happens to powerful women, and this is not the space.” “Right. As I agree with you, I don’t think this is the platform for that. *laughs*,” she continued when the interviewer spoke on the necessary opportunity for powerful women to address their own allegations in their own words rather than through other reports.

Lizzo Declines To Answer Question About Allegations

“I’m the happiest I’ve been in 10 months,” Lizzo shared concerning her mental health a few months ago. “The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it. I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be.. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up. My smile reaches my eyes again and that’s a win. I thought my album was finished.. but I gotta get some of these good vibes off in a banger real quick. Thanks for your patience [red heart emoji].”

Meanwhile, it’s important to emphasize that this still an open case with some dismissed allegations and others still on the table. As such, we still have yet to receive an official ruling from a court of law on these accusations against Lizzo.

Megan Thee Stallion Hostile Work Environment Lawsuit Finally Receives An Update

by

In late April, a pretty stunning update surrounding Megan Thee Stallion came down the pipeline. It was reported by NBC News that the rapper’s now ex-cameraman, Emilio Garcia, had some scathing allegations. Garcia, who claims to have worked with her from 2019-2023, filed a lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion for creating a “hostile, abusive work environment,” in addition to harassment. He alleges that he was fat-shamed and treated poorly overall. According to the paperwork, this all allegedly occurred while heading to Ibiza in June 2022. There was also another alleged incident that left Garcia feeling “uncomfortable” and “frozen.”

While in the back of an SUV, he alleges that Megan and another woman had sex right in front of him. After seeing that Garcia was an alleged witness to that sexual interaction, she allegedly told him, “Don’t ever discuss what you saw.” Then, following all of that, he alleges he was booked less and was eventually let go by Roc Nation. In the lawsuit, Garcia is looking for “unpaid wages, as well as interest on the unpaid wages, unpaid overtime wages and other employee benefits at the legal rate.” Megan and her team have publicly responded to these allegations, saying that they were “outlandish” and “manipulating.”

According to the outlet, Megan Thee Stallion was looking to get the case moved from Los Angeles to New York City. The California judge presiding over this case granted the MC’s wish. Additionally, Garcia declined to dismiss Roc Nation as a defendant. The updates aren’t massive, but at least it’s something. For now, we don’t when things will pick back up.
