 Lizzo is taking her legal battle to the next level with a bold new strategy. The Grammy winner has filed an appeal claiming that the sexual harassment lawsuit brought by her former backup dancers is actually an attack on her First Amendment rights to artistic expression and body positivity advocacy.

 

 The case stems from allegations including a controversial incident where dancers claim they were pressured to attend a sex show in Amsterdam's Red Light District. However, Lizzo's legal team, led by prominent Hollywood attorney Marty Singer, argues this was an optional team-building exercise that was part of her creative process - and therefore protected under free speech laws.

A judge previously dismissed some claims, including fat-shaming allegations, but allowed the core harassment accusations to proceed toward trial. Now Lizzo's team is asking an appeals court to throw out the entire case, arguing that judges shouldn't be "dissecting the creative process" of artists.

The dancers' attorney fired back, stating they "stand by the claims" and look forward to proving their case in court. This high-profile battle raises fascinating questions about the boundaries between artistic freedom and workplace harassment.
