Glass confirmed that Davis, along with Noelle Rodriguez and Crystal Williams, dropped their fat-shaming claims after 18 witnesses provided sworn declarations refuting the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>The Superior Court judge concluded that Davis\u2019s termination was justified due to her secret recordings.<\/p>\n<p>This development represents a major shift in the high-profile case that began in 2023 when the three dancers accused <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/tag\/lizzo\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lizzo<\/a> of subjecting them to uncomfortable situations during tour stops in Amsterdam and Paris.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d## class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why Lizzo&#039;s Dancers Felt &#039;Retaliated Against&#039; While Working With Singer (Exclusive)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VQ6hQ3ouhu4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d##><br \/>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n<p>The women claimed Lizzo pressured dancers to interact with sex performers at Bananenbar in Amsterdam, where patrons eat bananas out of performers\u2019 vaginas.<\/p>\n<p>Lizzo previously spoke about being \u201cblindsided\u201d by the lawsuit in a 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, saying, \u201cThese were people that I gave opportunities to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She maintained her innocence throughout the legal proceedings, stating \u201cI did nothing wrong\u201d and calling the allegations \u201coutrageous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer revealed the lawsuit\u2019s emotional toll, admitting she became \u201cvery paranoid and isolated\u201d during the legal battle. \u201cI know what it feels like to be body-shamed on a daily basis,\u201d Lizzo said in her initial response to the harassment claims.<\/p>\n<p>While the fat-shaming claims have been abandoned, other allegations, including false imprisonment and harassment, remain active in court.
