Lizzo's Big Grrrl Dancers praise Lizzo, tour experience on Instagram
The post on the verified Big Grrrls Instagram page doesn't name any of the dancers, but it thanks Lizzo for her leadership and bravery
Two weeks after three of Lizzo’s former dancers accused her of sexual harassment, discrimination, and unlawful imprisonment, among other things, the beleaguered singer has had very few public defenders. Sure, Beyoncé gave her a shout-out at a recent concert, and in the doing-more-harm-than-good department, Lizzo received support from Jameela Jamil and Grimes. However, as Lizzo’s stock plummets, her Big Grrrl and Big Boiii dancers are rallying behind their leader in an Instagram post, praising her and their experience on tour.
It should be noted that none of the dancers signed their names on this statement, making it unclear who wrote it. This may be public relations maneuvering to counter the damning lawsuit that threatens the singer’s body-positive image. Equally possible is that these dancers didn’t have the same experience as Lizzo’s accusers, and all her dancers agree with the statement, which is why the lack of individual names on the letter is so curious. Still, it’s the first response we’ve heard from the Big Grrrls camp since the accusations came to light, so it’s worth keeping in mind on some level.
