Things for Lizzo are going from bad to worse. After being sued for sexual harassment by three of her former backup dancers and a host of other allegations of bad behavior, more people are joining the suit. Attorneys representing the lawsuit against the singer confirmed to Page Six that at least six people with "similar stories" have been in touch.

This case is getting much bigger.
The attorneys representing the people who have accused Lizzo have shared that they are currently vetting and reviewing the new complaints.
Lawyer Ron Zambrano from the law firm representing the lawsuit, told the outlet that the firm is in the process of examining dancers who worked with Lizzo on her Amazon Prime reality show Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
It's too soon to say how this will really play out.
Zambrano’s statement said that the original three accusers "have bravely spoken out and shared their experiences, opening the door for others to feel empowered to do the same."
He added that the allegations include a "sexually charged environment" as well as failure to pay employees.
"Some of the claims we are reviewing may be actionable, but it is too soon to say," he said.
The initial allegations were made last week.
Last week, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez accused Lizzo of subjecting them to weight-shaming, sexually denigrating behavior and participation in disturbing sex shows, according to the lawsuit obtained by Page Six.
Davis and Williams claimed in the suit that they were eventually fired, while Rodriguez says she resigned, citing Lizzo’s "stunning" actions.
The women claimed that Lizzo pressured them into attending a sex show in Amsterdam’s red light district while touring in the Netherlands in February 2023.
One dancer claims she 'soiled herself' on stage because she was too afraid to ask for a bathroom break.
"Things quickly got out of hand," the lawsuit claimed, adding some of the sexual acts that included touching nude performers
The dancers then claimed that Lizzo "deceived" them into going to another nude show, "robbing them of the choice not to participate."
Davis also claimed that she once had to "soil herself" on stage, "fearing the repercussions" of asking to use the bathroom.

Lizzo has spoken out against the allegations.
"The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are … absolutely demoralizing," Zambrano said in a statement.
Lizzo has since responded to the allegations from the three initial plaintiffs, calling their claims “outrageous.”
"My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned," she wrote in a post on Instagram. "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."
