Recently, Lizzo has been receiving attention - but not the type she would prefer.
Three dancers who used to work with her have taken legal action, claiming that Lizzo's behavior created a "sexually charged" atmosphere and that they were personally subjected to sexual harassment.
On Tuesday, reports surfaced regarding a lawsuit filed by Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez. The complaint names Grammy-winner as well as her company Big Grrrl Big Touring and Shirlene Quigley, the captain of her dance team, as defendants.
Because of this, the music industry has revisited the controversy surrounding the longtime close bond between Lizzo and Harry Styles.
Three of Lizzo's ex-backup dancers have lodged complaints about the star's alleged inappropriate conduct including weight-shaming and creating an uncomfortable work environment.
This has resulted in many people online debating her friendship status with the former One Direction star.
Recent allegations have caused some users on social media to call out Lizzo for making supposedly inappropriate jokes about Harry and various other well-known male stars, such as BTS, Chris Evans, Shawn Mendes, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan.
In the context of the controversy, many people looked closely at Harry and Lizzo's relationship and were surprised by the "As It Was" singer's lack of reaction.
On social media, some individuals showed unease about Harry's words concerning his friend despite the situation.
"Many people have been quick to excuse Lizzo for making inappropriate comments about male celebrities, such as Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Chris Evans, under the guise of them being 'just jokes'," one person said.
"However, this simply isn't true; these remarks were anything but funny and were clearly out of line."
"Who would have thought it? I had my doubts about Lizzo right from the start, especially when she joked about Harry Styles in such a suggestive manner even though they were friends," one commenter wrote. "I never really liked her for that," another added.

As more news about Lizzo emerges, one person finally voiced out their opinion that her relationship with Harry Styles has always seemed "strange."
"She would often act overly sexualized around him whenever they were together."
After Lizzo's past comments came to light, numerous followers of the two artists took to social media with inquiries about Harry's friendship with her. "Me trying to figure out what will Harry Styles do after this Lizzo news," one speculated.
"The accusations that keep rising against Harry Styles' circle of acquaintances have caused some to question his character. A lot of people have concluded that he's too nice and it appears as though being a friend to everyone can be detrimental.
As one user put it, "A friend to all is a friend to none."
A third expressed their concerns: "It's not boding well for you, mate! Pals with James Corden and Lizzo?"
