‘Lizzo is a narcissistic bully who has built her brand off lies’ – Filmmaker Sophia Allison hits singer with more allegations

Grammys Award winning singer, Lizzo real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson has now been accused of gaslighting a director. The allegations by Oscar-nominated Sophia Nahli Allisons come on the heels of a bombshell lawsuit filed against the singer.This week Lizzo was accused of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment by three former dancers.But on Wednesday, August 2, the 36-year-old Allison published a tweet claiming she worked with Lizzo in 2019 only to find her arrogant, self-centred and unkind. Allison explained that she intended to direct Lizzo’s documentary but walked away from the project two weeks later after being disrespected.The filmmakers full tweet read: I do not usually comment on anything pop culture related. But, in 2019, I travelled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary. I walked away after about two weeks. I was treated with such disrespect by her. I witnessed how arrogant, self-centred and unkind she is. I was not protected and was thrown into a s****y situation with little support. My spirit said to run as fast as you f*****g can and Im so grateful I trusted my gut.She went on: I felt gaslit and was deeply hurt, but Ive healed.Reading these reports made me realise how dangerous of a situation it was. This kind of abuse of power happens far too often.Allison concluded: Much love and support to the dancers.Although Allison didnt name the project shed temporarily worked on with Lizzo, last year the singer released a documentary called Love, Lizzo, which followed her career and rise to fame.Earlier this week, paperwork obtained by multiple US outlets alleged Jefferson pressured one of her dancers to touch a nude performer at a club in Amsterdam and called attention to another performers weight gain. The paperwork alleges Jefferson invited her dancers to a strip club following a performance in Amsterdam earlier this year and although attendance was not mandatory those who attended were reportedly favoured by the musician.The suit also named her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc, and her dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, as defendants but not every claim was related to all three.  The post ‘Lizzo is a narcissistic bully who has built her brand off lies’ – Filmmaker Sophia Allison hits singer with more allegations appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
