Lizzo Only 'Seeking Attention' After Saying She 'Quits,' Ex-Dancers' Lawyer Claims

Lizzo surprised everyone when she announced on social media that she was quitting. Meanwhile, the lawyer of the embattled ex-dancers has slammed her statement, saying that she's only "seeking attention."

Lizzo has been sued for sexual harassment by three of her former dancers, among other scathing allegations.

Lizzo Only 'Seeking Attention' On 'I Quit' Post?

Ron Zambrano, the lawyers for Lizzo's ex-dancers, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez, who have sued the Grammy-winning singer for sexual harassment, speaks out on the singer's recent statement on social media.

"It's a joke that Lizzo would say she is being bullied by the internet when she should instead be taking an honest look at herself," he said in a statement to Billboard. "Her latest post is just another outburst seeking attention and trying to deflect from her own failings as she continues to blame everyone else for the predicament she is in."

Lizzo announced that she quit on social media after suffering from intensified scrutiny and backlash following the publication of her ex-dancers' lawsuit.

"Lizzo's legal and public relations strategy is a failure, so she is desperately trying to play the victim. She has thrown these childish tantrums before. No one actually believes she is quitting music. But she should quit sexually harassing, shaming and bullying her employees and finally accept responsibility for her actions," the Zambrano furthered.

Zambrano even suggested that Lizzo "own up" to her mistakes and pay for what she's due. He even cited Diddy and Dan Schneider's recent scandals to denote that "celebrity toxicity" is poisoning the entertainment industry.

"There is no more safe place in society for this sort of behavior as the entire industry is in for a reckoning for permitting such vile treatment of employees in the workplace," he said, noting that Lizzo's behavior will not be tolerated.

Lizzo Announces She's Quitting

Although no one could pinpoint what she's quitting from, Lizzo's Instagram statement had fans thinking.

"I'm getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet," Lizzo wrote on Instagram. "All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."

Celebrities like Queen Latifah and Paris Hilton and fans begged the singer not to quit and to endure the backlash she's been suffering.
