More of Lizzo’s former employees are speaking out in support of the lawsuit filed against the “Truth Hurts” singer for allegedly subjecting them to weight-shaming and sexually denigrating behavior.
Just hours after three of Lizzo’s former dancers came forward with the allegations, her former creative director, Quinn Whitney Wilson, and dancer Courtney Hollinquest claimed that they experienced similar treatment.
“For clarification, I’m not apart of the lawsuit – but this was very much my experience in my time there,” Hollinquest wrote on her Instagram Story Tuesday. “Big shoutout to the dancers who had the courage to bring this to light.”
Soon after, Wilson shared a screenshot of Hollinquest’s statement to her own social media page, saying she was “echoing” everything that was already said.

“I haven’t been apart of that world for around three years, for a reason,” Wilson wrote. “I very much applaud the dancers courage to bring this to light. and I grieve parts of my own experience.”
“I’d appreciate space to understand my feelings,” she concluded.
To which, Hollinquest replied back to, “my sister forever only a few know what we’ve been through … love u Quinn.”
The two women’s comments came shortly after plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez accused the Grammy winner — along with Big Grrrl Big Touring and dance team captain Shirlene Quigley — of creating a “sexually charged and uncomfortable” work environment in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
In the lawsuit, the women allege that the singer once pressured Davis to inappropriately touch a nude performer while in Amsterdam in February 2023.
After their concert, the plaintiffs claim that Lizzo invited them for a night out on the town — specifically to the Red Light District, which is known for its sex theaters, sex shops and nude clubs.
Yet once they arrived, Lizzo allegedly “began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
“Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms. Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women,” the suit alleges.
