Amid all the <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/lizzo-sued-by-former-dancers-for-weight-shaming-and-sexual-harassment">controversy</a> surrounding <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/lizzo-invites-young-fan-on-stage-after-learning-she-was-being-bullied">Lizzo</a>, the singer has lost almost 400,000 followers across social media. According to <a href="https://socialblade.com/tiktok/user/lizzo/monthly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Social Blade</a>, the 'Good As Hell' singer has lost more than 167,000 followers on her Instagram account, and combined with the 200,000 she's lost on TikTok and the 20,000 followers on Twitter, that totals up to a whopping 387,000 followers. Big yikes. The news comes after the 35-year-old was accused of "weight shaming" as well as "sexual harassment" by three of her former dancers. <img class="wp-image-1263223621 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/GettyImages-1441117589.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| Lizzo performs in support of her "Special" release at Chase Center in 2022.

As well as issues with job security and strict rehearsal rules, an alleged trip to Bananenbar, a strip club in Amsterdam, was the centre of a lot of "inappropriate" behavior. While the dancers were there, 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." The suit continued: "Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms. Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women." "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," the lawsuit added. <img class="wp-image-1263223622 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/08/GettyImages-1245636292-1.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" />[[imagecaption|| Lizzo poses during Reel To Reel: LOVE, LIZZO at The GRAMMY Museum in 2022.

My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed." She continued: "These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional." [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvevdf9OTse/]] Lizzo then went on to state that she is "passionate" about what she does, saying that she "[takes] my music and my performances seriously because at the end of the day I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans." "With passion comes hard work and high standards. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it's never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren't valued as an important part of the team," she wrote. "I am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days. I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not," she continued before adding: "There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world. I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight." The 'Boys' hitmaker then concluded that she was "hurt" but she "will not let the good work I've done in the world be overshadowed by this." "I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support to lift me up during this difficult time," she said. <h6>Featured Image Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty</h6>
