Lizzo finds no ally amid the damaging sexual harassment and toxic work allegations thrown at her by her former dancers.

Three of Lizzo's former dancers filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accusing the singer of sexual harassment and her production company of promoting a toxic work environment when they were still working for her.

The American rapper has since addressed the issue and revealed she "is not [a] villain" in the story, but she seemingly got abandoned immediately despite her explanation.

Lizzo Left by A-List Friends Amid Damaging Allegations?

Lizzo established her empire in the music industry and befriended known individuals, including Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles, Rihanna, and Adele. But instead of speaking out for her, everyone maintained their silence and left her "disappointed."

"She is aware these are potentially career-ending allegations but has been disappointed by the lack of public support from her friends inside the industry," a source told The Sun. "She was really looking for them to come out and speak publicly or through their social media channels - but sadly for her, that hasn't happened."

The insider, however, noted that they have been in touch privately after their management and managers told them not to share anything until they find the truth about Lizzo's civil case.

In the past years, the "About Damn Time" singer has been open about her relationships with other musicians and celebrities.

For instance, she and the former One Direction member started getting closer after he covered her track, "Juice." Meanwhile, Lizzo said the "Easy On Me" singer is one of her closest pals and her "best drinking buddy."

Lizzo Denies Claims

Lizzo's former backup dancers, Noelle Rodriguez, Arianna Davis, and Crystal Williams exposed in the civil lawsuit that the Grammy winner weight-shamed them and even forced them to touch a nude perform at a strip club in Amsterdam.

The "Cuz I Love You" and her production company, Quigley, are named defendants in the court documents, NBC News reported.

Lizzo soon addressed the incident in an Instagram post saying that she initially did not want to respond to the alleged false allegations. However, things reportedly turned "too outrageous" and unbelievable not to be addressed.

The "Truth Hurts" singer maintained she does not aim to show she is a victim; rather, she reportedly wants to show she is not the villain.
