SZA Defends Lizzo Amid Ongoing Employee Lawsuits

Grammy-winning singer SZA has publicly defended her close friend Lizzo amid ongoing lawsuits filed by former employees accusing Lizzo of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a toxic work environment. SZA described the backlash against Lizzo as "weird" and praised her resilience and self-vindication, calling her a "master healer" who has taken control of her own narrative. The lawsuits include claims from three former backup dancers and a former wardrobe designer, with Lizzo being dismissed from one case while the other proceeds to trial. Lizzo revealed the lawsuits' heavy emotional toll, including suicidal ideations and losing friends, which has delayed the release of her album "Love in Real Life." Despite the controversies, SZA and Lizzo have continued to collaborate, with Lizzo featuring on SZA's recent mixtape and appearing as a surprise guest on SZA's tour. Their friendship and professional partnership remain strong even amid the legal challenges and public scrutiny.
