Tina Knowles Denies & Lizzo
In the wake of a bombshell lawsuit filed against Lizzo by three of her former dancers, Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has denied claims that her daughter intentionally removed Lizzo's name from her song lyrics. The allegations against Lizzo include weight-shaming and sexually denigrating behavior towards the dancers during their time working together. Following these accusations, other individuals, including Lizzo's former creative director and a dancer, have come forward to share similar experiences.
During a performance of 'Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)' in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Beyoncé omitted Lizzo's name from the original lyrics of the song. Fans quickly noticed the change, with some praising the decision and others expressing concerns that Lizzo should not be "cancelled."
In response to the speculation surrounding the omission, Tina Knowles took to social media to address the situation. A fan had commented on Instagram that the alteration in the song's lyrics felt like "hitting 2 birds with 1 stone." In her response, Tina stated that Beyoncé also didn't mention her own sister's name, implying that the omission wasn't targeting Lizzo specifically.
The lawsuit against Lizzo, as well as her dance team captain, Shirlene Quigley, alleges that they created a "sexually charged and uncomfortable" work environment for the plaintiffs. The singer is currently facing legal challenges related to these claims.
In a separate development, Lizzo has broken her silence following the sexual harassment lawsuit. Details of her statement have not been disclosed, but the situation has sparked discussions about workplace culture and appropriate conduct within the entertainment industry.
The situation remains fluid as both Lizzo's legal team and representatives for Beyoncé have yet to release official statements. Fans and the public await further developments and responses from those involved in this ongoing controversy.
