In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Lizzo has been removed from consideration for the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show following a series of disturbing harassment made against her by former dancers. The plaintiff includes claims of sexual harassment and fat-shaming, which have cast a shadow over Lizzo’s self-proclaimed image as a body-positive activist. This unexpected development has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and Lizzo’s fanbase, leaving her team scrambling to salvage her career and reputation.
Earlier this month, three of Lizzo’s former backup dancers, Crystal Williams, Noelle Rodriguez, and Arianna Davis, filed a lawsuit accusing the singer of fostering a “hostile work environment.” The summer sent ripples through the media, particularly due to Lizzo’s public advocacy for body positivity and self-acceptance. The controversy has brought her career into question, prompting the NFL to quickly drop her from consideration for the coveted Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, a spot she was rumored to be one of the front-runners for in 2024.
