We have been so honored to share the stage with such amazing talent. This tour experience has been beyond just #special!! The commitment to character and culture taking precedent over every movement and moment has been one of the greatest lessons and blessings that we could possibly ask for.”
The statement continued, THANK YOU to Lizzo for shattering limitations and kicking in the door way for the Big Grrl & Big Boiii dancers to do what we love! You have created a platform where we have been able to parallel our passion with a purpose! Not only for us, but for women and all people breaking barriers. We’ve been traveling and exploring new horizons of the world. So many advantages to prevailing over hardships that society and the entertainment t and beauty industry can bring…So grateful that the standards and existence of Beauty in THIS team goes beyond the surface! Our collective gifts have authentically powered the type of energy, love and that support can physiologically help heal the world. We are a unit of unicorns, undeniably resilient and SPECIAL AF.”
This statement from her current dancers comes after, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez are the former dancers who have accused Lizzo of sexual harassment, weight shaming and more. Though Lizzo has denied the allegations, fans are still not sure whose story to believe.
Lizzo released a statement to her Instagram that read: “These last few days have been gut wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing. My work ethic, morals, and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually, I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed. These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”

“As an artist, I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because, at the end of the day, I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans. With passion comes hard work and high standards. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it’s never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren’t valued as an important part of the team.”
The women who accused Lizzo of these things said they are still going to fight this battle despite seeing her statement where she denied everything. While reiterating their claims, Williams said, “We were treated poorly. Nobody did anything about it when we tried to speak up and advocate for ourselves. So now we’re doing it. I know that my mind feels a lot clearer. There was a lot of anxiety and a lot of feelings of being overwhelmed once our suit was made public. But today, I feel very proud to be pursuing this with these ladies.”
