What state of mind is the pop culture, entertainment industry in? Well, according to a lawsuit recently filed by three dancers for singer, dancer, and “body positivity” champion Lizzo, she forced them to eat bananas out of the vaginas of sex workers in Amsterdam. Yes, really.
Those three plaintiffs are Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez. Davis and Williams both claim to have been fired over their reaction to the incident while Rodriguez claims to have resigned over the “stunning” behavior exhibited by Lizzo on the trip.
Page Six, reporting on the lawsuit and claims in it, reports that the incident occurred in February of 2023 while Lizzo and her team were on a concert trip to Amsterdam. According to the report on the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that, during that trip, Lizzo invited them out for a night on the town with her, a social jaunt that ended in Amsterdam’s infamous red light district, known for its brothels and nudity-filled clubs and bars.
Predictably, things quickly got out of hand, or so the lawsuit claims. According to Page Six, the lawsuit alleges that not only did Lizzo pressure Davis into touching a nude performer’s breasts, but that “… things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
The plaintiffs also reportedly allege that Lizzo deceived them into attending a nude show again, which robbed “them of the choice not to participate.” The three plaintiffs said they were “shocked that Lizzo would conceal the nature of the event from them, robbing them of the choice not to participate.”
The attorney for the plaintiff, Ron Zambrano, said, “The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are … absolutely demoralizing.”
Lizzo, in addition to her role as a singer and entertainer, is also a Disney star. She appeared in an episode of Disney’s “The Mandalorian” as the “Dutchess” of a place called Plazir-15. Commenting on that role in a TikTok, she said, “YALL I JUST REALIZED THAT IM ROYALTY IN STAR WARS WHICH IS DISNEY WHICH MAKES ME A DISNEY PRINCESS.”
Commenting on the role, she also said, “When I was a young girl my dad introduced me to Star Wars like a rite of passage. The [trilogies] are his favorite movies and quickly became mine. When Jon Favreau called me and offered the role of The Dutchess I cried all day wishing my dad was still with us cus he’d be so proud.”
Continuing, she added, “Star Wars was a dream I never thought was possible— but thanks to Jon, Bryce, and everyone in the galaxy I am now part of the ever-expanding saga of the stars. I am in honorable company and forever grateful. This is The Way…. and May the Force be with you.”
