Across social media, many of her followers expressed their disappointment with the allegations detailed in a lawsuit, including that Lizzo weight-shamed dancers and pressured them to touch a nude performer at an Amsterdam club.
“I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be the last few days,” she wrote. She dismissed the allegations made in the lawsuit, calling the accounts “sensationalized stories.”
Shanade, who took a four-year hiatus from dancing due to her anxiety after gaining weight, said Lizzo’s unapologetic presence as a plus-sized performer gave her an “eff-it” attitude. Inspired by Lizzo, she returned to dancing and booking gigs. “I was so shocked and I was so shaken by this because I guess I didn’t expect her to make any mistakes,” Lola said. “And it is because of the trailblazer that she is and because she’s in a lane that’s all her own.”
