<h3 style="text-align: center;">Filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison Speaks Out About Briefly Working On Lizzo&#8217;s Documentary</h3>
<p>On Tuesday evening, Sophia Nahli Allison took to her Instagram Story to share her reaction to news of the lawsuit against Lizzo.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I usually do not comment on anything pop culture related,&#8221; she began. &#8220;But, in 2019, I traveled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary. I walked away after about 2 weeks. I was treated with such disrespect by her&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Allison went on to share that she &#8220;witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind&#8221; the singer allegedly is.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was not protected and I was thrown into a s****y situation with little support. My spirit said to run as fast as you f*****g can and I&#8217;m so grateful I trusted my gut&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, Allison explained that she was &#8220;deeply hurt&#8221; by her alleged experience with the singer. However, reading these new allegations about Lizzo has made her realize &#8220;how dangerous of a situation it was.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This kind of abuse of power happens far too often,&#8221; Allison wrote before ending her post by sending &#8220;love and support&#8221; to the lawsuit&#8217;s plaintiffs.</p></blockquote>
<p>After sharing her post, Allison then shared another Instagram Story of a woman named Charlene Sanchez, who also worked on the documentary alongside her.</p>
<p>Additionally, Sanchez confirmed the allegations against Lizzo.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was apart of this documentary with @yagurlsophia! This is all true&#8230; I had to vent to so many of my friends about it&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sanchez even went on to call her experience working with Lizzo a &#8220;nightmare.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;It was such a small crew and the experience of working with Lizzo was a nightmare.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">More Details About The Lawsuit &; Initial Reacts From A Plaintiff And Others</h3>
<p>As <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lizzo-of-harassing-weight-shaming-dancers-in-new-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> previously reported, the sexual harassment and weight shaming lawsuit specifically cites Lizzo, her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc., and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley as defendants.</p>
</div>
<div>The plaintiffs, <strong>Arianna Davis</strong>, <strong>Crystal Williams</strong>, and <strong>Noelle Rodriguez</strong>, allege that Lizzo&#8217;s treatment of them as former dancers of hers goes &#8220;against everything Lizzo stands for publicly.&#8221;</div>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing.&#8221;</div>
</blockquote>
<div>Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Lizzo of pressuring dancers to &#8220;take turns touching the nude performers,&#8221; as well as more explicit actions at an afterparty at an Amsterdam strip club.</div>
<div></div>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;Plaintiffs were aghast with how little regard Lizzo showed for the bodily autonomy of her employees and those around her, especially in the presence of many people whom she employed.&#8221;</div>

<p>After news of the lawsuit became public, plaintiff Arianna Davis shared a few additional words. Meanwhile, Lizzo&#8217;s former creative director, Courtney Hollinquest, also seemed the confirm the lawsuit&#8217;s accusations.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;For clarification, I&#8217;m not apart of the lawsuit,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;But this was very much my experience in my time there&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
