Singer Lizzo continues to be in the eye of the storm after the lawyer representing her former backup dancers — who are suing the four-time Grammy winner for alleged sexual harassment and creating ahostile work environment— released a contemptuous statement about her “childish tantrums.”
The lawyer’s statement comes days after Lizzo released a statement and said, “I quit.” However, her cryptic message did not specify whether she was quitting music, social media, or something else.

“I didn’t sign up for this shit,” she declared. “I QUIT.”
Days after theAbout Damn Timesinger shared the post, the dancers’ Los Angeles-based attorney, Ron Zambrano, released a statement suggesting it was all crocodile tears.

He also claimed the singer has “thrown these childish tantrums before” and that “no one actually believes she is quitting music.”
Lizzo is just having another “outburst” and is trying to seek “attention,” the lawyer said
The verbal sparring continued as Stefan Friedman, a spokesperson for Lizzo, responded to Ron’s statement and said the attorney was making “wild personal attacks.”
“With nearly half his case dismissed, 18 independent witnesses siding with Lizzo and no settlement on the way to get him his tasty contingency fee, Ron has started making wild personal attacks that have absolutely nothing to do with the clients who he is supposedly representing,” Stefan said. “We would humbly recommend that Ron start representing his clients and stop representing just himself.”
Several critics online wrote her off and said she was crying about being “bullied” after allegedly bullying her dancers
