Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have filed a suit against the singer, accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, NBC news reported Tuesday.

The lawsuit, which names Lizzo, her production company, and her dance captain Shirlene Quigley as defendants, brings claims of a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, religious and racial harassment, false imprisonment, interference with prospective economic advantage and other allegations, NBC News reported. Not every claim was brought against each defendant.

“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 not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” the dancers’ lawyer Ron Zambrano said in a statement released to NBC News.

The hashtag #Lizzo is trending on Twitter following news of the lawsuit. Here are a number of tweets shared Tuesday.
