Lizzo's shock Grammy Awards appearance is slammed by lawyer representing her dancers in sexual harassment lawsuit as he says he's 'disappointed' bosses gave the singer a presenting role


The singer's appearance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday has been slammed by the lawyer representing dancers who have accused the singer of sexual harassment.

In what was a controversial choice for organisers, Lizzo, 35, whose full name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, stood in front of millions to present the award for Best R&B song. In the civil lawsuit filed August 1, the trio accused Lizzo of pressuring her dancers to physically engage with sex workers at a club in Amsterdam's Red Light District this past February while on tour in the area. In a rebuttal statement she posted to Instagram last month, Lizzo called the accusations 'sensationalized' and said the dancers suing her'have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.'
