The Friday night surprise performance was Lizzo’s first time onstage since former backup dancersArianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguezfiled suitagainst her in August. The performers alleged the singer-songwriter body-shamed them and pressured them into touching nude performers while at a club in Amsterdam, among other claims.
Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, the starshared a lengthy statementon social media in response, stating that she is “not the villain” and that the allegations being made against her were “too outrageous” not to address.
The “Rumors” singer washit with another lawsuitin September. Fashion designer Asha Daniels, a fashion designer who toured with the star earlier this year, filed suit against the singer and members of her team, alleging that although Lizzopreached body positivity, her employees were forced to work in a “racist and sexualized” environment.

Lizzo also claimed that the dancers are acting unethically in their suit and demanded 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 said in a statement at the time. “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 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.”
