Oop! Beyoncé showers Lizzo with love at her most recent ‘Renaissance‘ tour stop. This comes after Bey was caught seemingly removing Lizzo’s name amid her sexual harassment and hostile work environment scandal.
Since August 1, Lizzo has been making headline after headline after three of her former dancers accused her of sexual harassment, weight-shaming, and creating a toxic work environment.
Specifically, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez have all claimed they were subjected to weight-shaming, sexually denigrating behavior and were also allegedly pressured to participate in disturbing sex shows. Their lawsuit also accuses Lizzo’s dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, of proselytizing other performers and publicly discussing Davis’ virginity.
And while Williams and Davis claim they were wrongfully terminated, Rodriguez maintains she resigned from her role to protest their firings. She claims, “I voluntarily left on my own terms. I was so disgusted by the treatment that I saw.” Since the lawsuit went public, Lizzo has denied all allegations against her, maintaining her innocence.

Immediately following news of Lizzo’s scandal, reports then surfaced of Beyoncé skipping her name during her “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” performance at her very next ‘Renaissance’ tour stop in Boston on August 1. Just hours after Lizzo’s accusers went public, Bey raised several eyebrows after leaving the singer’s name out of her performance.
She instead repeated Erykah Badu‘s name a couple of times. Bey’s decision to omit Lizzo’s name sparked a lot of speculation about her stance on the allegations. Social media believed she may be indirectly showing support for the alleged victims, or distancing herself from any association with the assault claims and scandal, altogether.

While Beyoncé has not made any public statements regarding the lawsuit or her intentions behind removing Lizzo’s name from her Boston performance, she’s now returned to singing her name. On Monday (August 14), Beyoncé set the record straight on where she stands with Lizzo.
In addition to plugging the singer’s name back into her performance of “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix),” Bey also gave a huge loving shoutout to the “Rumors” singer. While bringing down the house at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Bey said Lizzo’s name and then said, “I love you, Lizzo!!!”
