There are few bigger pop stars in the world right now than classically trained flautist-turned-singer, Lizzo. Her fans love her not just for her music but also for how candid she is. As she says, she’s unapologetically a big, black beautiful woman.
But a few days ago, the entertainment world was shocked when the artist was accused of gross hypocrisy. Three of Lizzo’s former back up dancers announced they’re suing her, claiming they were body-shamed and sexually harassed. Lizzo has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, meaning a court will probably determine the veracity of the allegations.
Just before this controversy blew up, Tom Steinfort was given an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes of Lizzo’s Australian tour.

Not into her 😒
So what
And here I thought this was going to deal with the lawsuit. Instead, this was a public relations video. Her marketing team very much appreciates your help!
The law suits technically have not even been filed , right now Liz is being trial by the media...
Well said 👏 ⚘
Exactly!
I thought the same 7:16
Yeah, I wasn't expecting a full on PR puff piece either. I thought it was going to show the different perspectives, maybe interview past employees, etc.
Do we think the same courtesy would have been granted to a male artist with these accusations? Or do we think they'd be interviewing people that have worked with her in the past?
If you were going to include the allegations, you should have extended the interview, conducted it (more) explicitly and allowed for all parties to speak on it.
.. this interview was taken BEFORE the allegations. Listen again. They included them because it was the right thing to do.
@@LauraBidingCitizen I heard. Doesn’t mean you should include a sound bite of the allegations, instead of providing a detailed analysis of the facts. It is on the journalist to adequately cover and share a story. If they weren’t prepared to discuss the allegations, they shouldn’t have included them.
They did this piece before the news came out.. hard to include something you have no idea about 🤦♀️
Did you even listen? Y'all just like to nitpick and complain about everything. Geez...
@@takesomemolly1660 with all due respect, did you read? Once again, if they weren’t prepared to discuss the allegations, they shouldn’t have included them… especially in the title.
Have a wonderful day.
Not just accusations anymore. She did all that. Talk to anyone in the Industry. She is super mean and horrible to people when the cameras are not on
I've heard that very same thing. I've heard several radio DJs comment on how rude she is
@@vickyevans1291because she's obese, diabetic or pre diabetic and her hormones are all over the place. What a hot mess.
how do you know‼️‼️ innocent, and proven guilty👌🏾
We DONT know for sure!
Cry more
I believe these women and those who aren't suing her.
Those who are coming out that didn't years ago probably felt who would believe me against a performer who is a top musician who has won awards.
Even a Creator who worked with Lizzo quit after two weeks.
People see what lizzo wants them to see.
Behind the scenes she takes off her mask
Yes, that creator you refer to is a black woman who is a director. I cannot remember her name but remember what she said about Lizzo. She said at first she thought "this couldn't be happening" (referring to shitty way Lizzo was treating her), but when the disrespect & abuse kept on, she said she had to leave that job after 2 weeks for her sanity. And yes, I believe every single person that has walked out on a ledge to reveal their not-so-good experiences and outright abuse from Lizzo.
I never really cared for Lizzo. There was something that was too much "in your face" about her to me. Now I realize that "in your face" stuff was just your basic NARCISSIST operating business as usual. So, although everyone seems a bit taken aback about these revelations, there WAS "leakage" of who & what she is prior to this...although it wasn't overt. I always pay attention to that still, small voice inside that whispers to me. It's really saved my ass in the past.
@@kimmuckenfuss2284 sadly I believe a very good many entertainers have narcissistic personality disorder (madonna, swift, the list goes on) but it also emboldens them to be entertainers in the first place
What did Celine Dion threaten to copyright strike 60 minutes Australia? They removed the audio when Lizzo was playing My Heart Will Go On on the recorder. 😂
Another Ellen DeGeneres type
She let her popularity go to her head. A lot of celebs are mean & twisted. Fame screws people up
AND CHILD TRAFFICKER!!!
ILLUMANATI SCUM.
They are already screwed and twisted. Lots of other celebrities handle fame just fine because they're not narcissists.
If fame alone can bring this out from you then you were always an ordinary person to begin with
No, those who are twisted by fame and fortune, allow themselves to be twisted by fame and fortune. Stay humble y’all!!!
She is using obesity to sell tickets. And when called out about her actions off stage she blames her weight and states that people are just jealous and hating on her.
Yep! Because obesity is everywhere today!
@@reneesantiago6496😂😂😂
@@ashleyshim2078 It’s true. It’s an epidemic in many countries. Sad, really.
No talking to these people until they're in the hospital.
Maybe they are. We will only know for certain when the lawsuit comes to court and both sides get to tell their side. I've now been uncomfortably overweight for 6 years due to illness and steroids. I would never pay for tickets to go sees someone just because they are obese. If you do then obesity is the least of your worries,
Shes not the first fat black woman to make it.. in the old days, 70s, 80s, 90s, no actors or singers were out there overly talking about their race or weight, in interviews they duscussed their latest work or what theyre working on .. these days its all about politics, no matter how unrelated it should be
Obesity and Narcissism in one person
Yeah oh yeah. Lol
Period. 💯
Laziness too lol
Would it be ok if she was a skinny narcisist??
Where is the part of the litigation?
Just have to bring up how “generous” she is when she’s in a scandal 😂
Absolutely never heard of this woman. I consider that a sign of success.
lol
Do you live under a rock??
Me too
Never heard of her, Megan Markle or Amber Heard.... I don't feel deprived.
All you need to know is this ruclips.net/video/owc-sTHUeHc/видео.html
"few bigger pop stars..."
Good Lord. Get a new writer.
That's not even funny
LOL she is BIG alright. Really BIG This is nuts. Why? Its sad.
It's like I'm watching an interview from the past spliced with headlines from today. It's so cringe!
It’s not “like that”, it’s exactly that! Good call
How does she fit that enormous ego into that "beautiful" person we see in this interview/public relations story?
🤢🤮
I believe the dancers. It's easy to get up there and be a thug
You mean diva or is that interchangeable?
@@jx1668 What she’s done is downright criminal. Being a diva is mild in comparison.
It is NOT easy to come out & reveal mistreatment/abuse from an employer who is famous & beloved by many. I compare it to a woman who has been raped & makes the brave decision to go to the police & pursue prosecution of the rapist. I know this seems weird me bringing up reporting a rapist, but if you think about it there are many parallels. 1) people will say you're a liar, 2) people will question your motives, 3) people will then look into your past & try to tear you apart, 4) the person who's been accused will then say you're a liar & accuse you of ulterior motives. Again, to come out & tell the truth many times is not for the faint of heart. It's a treacherous process. There really is no "upside" for doing this, other than shining a light on evil. Yes, there's a lawsuit, but the victims will not be getting rich. IF they win the lawsuit it'll be about recompensation, basically. This is not a get rich quick scheme by a long shot.
Lizzo is the perfect example of a celebrity who, after experiencing a bit of fame, let it get to her head and changed her attitude. I still believe that Lizzo is a very kind person, but as she grew up and made a name for herself in the industry, she allowed fame to consume her. That's what fame does to a person; it can wreak havoc on your life by turning you into a different, less pleasant person.
But that's where people get it wrong about fame and power. Fame doesn't really make you a bad person, it just means you were toxic to begin with, and before fame you had an incentive to 'play nice'. These people are drawn to fame because they are narcissists. Narcissists need attention and validation and there's no better way to get that than being famous. They were never great people to begin with. You know all those ridiculous demands you hear artists make when on tour? E.g. lavender scented toilet paper and the air con set exactly to 18.88 degrees. That's just narcissism.
Where there's smoke ....there's fire.....
Dam I thought this was a story about the recent lawsuit against her. What's going on 60 mins by misleading your subscribers!
So over this hypocrite, NEXT! Maybe she loves herself too much, and that's why she treats her employees with such DIS-Respect😢
I'll never understand the glorifying of morbid obesity
If they want to die prematurely, let them be. They are a strain to the healthcare system.
I thought you were going to talk about the sue
How can you be overweight that much and super hardworking?
Eating yourself to the grave…most wouldn’t consider it an act of ‘self love’. And it’s not a matter or morbid obesity being considered aesthetically ‘beautiful’ it’s about health. Prioritizing health. Idk why the conversation keeps turning morbid obesity into like ‘radical act of self love’ or ‘beauty’. The issue is health…and all the leading causes of death a result of obesity. We’re taking deaths that surpass cancer. No one is preaching how everyone should could consider cancer ‘’beautiful’’ because it’s irrelevant- it’s about health. Living. Not dying. The whole fatphobic stuff is something I see more often than not being used as a denial and dodge from the responsibility of ones own health. I’ve had two times where my weight rose right short of morbid obesity…and let me tell you…there was zero self love during that time. My weight gain was an outward picture that reflected just a fraction of what I was going through internally. No one happy is consuming food to the point of death. No one is happy when they’re so obese they can’t see their feet or barely wipe their own ass. I mean the work and stress her heart is undoubtedly under at that weight is dangerous…and that’s just one impact of obesity. Idk why people interpret those facts as insults with cruel intentions. Like, it’s how the body works - sorry, but like, I don’t control science/biology.
Maybe she shouldn't act all crazy with her co-workers. Do all that freaky deaky shit on your own time! Lizzo! Sorry that I cannot f with her no more!
Who is she? Never heard of her before
where have you been
@@oceanwavesES working
i absolutely believe it, i can only imagine how disrespectful she is, much of young ones today are like this, its a thing to act stupid these days and being a bully
id like to hear from the employees, i dont really care about her flute playing !!
Sorry. This may be a generation thing, but who the heck is Lizzo? Never heard of her and for sure, now I’ve seen a picture of her, I’ve never seen her either!
If you are older than 40 you may not know who she is...
She is what is killing music. Pure schlock
Def a generation thing 💀
Why's she always saying B****?
Because she's ghetto!😂
It is definitely not suitable for minors.
Being talented doesn't give anyone the licence to treat anyone inferiorly( esp those ppl who work for U). Such a bad behaviour only shows that u urself aren't worthy and that is not abt ur weight or ur appearance. A great artist is always a humble artist 🤔
"There a few bigger pop stars in the world right now "
Well you sure got that right
Damn right 😂
@@visiow2691😊
L😊
Jlp😊
😊😊
How in Gods name can this woman be this popular????
The dumbing-down of society
Wait wait…are you fat shaming???? Or are you being transphobic?
My thoughts exactly!!! The music industry has gone to hell in a hand basket!🙄
You just know this interviewer went home shaking his head and thanking God this assignment is OVER!!
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN FLAVOUR & YOU HAVE YRS, YOU JUST DON'T NEED TO BE DISRESPECTFUL ABOUT IT, IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER DON'T WATCH SOMETHING THAT HAS HER IN IT.
This is what we have come to as a collective whole of being a human being. We are celebrating a person who plays the flute while twerking. And we honor her for that!? Wtf
Were under attack by the deep state. People don't get it this not happening by accident. Theirs promoting everything evil. They did it too African Americans first now their taking it the world.
That's not the problem here Jessica.
the flute you can does that ?
I think you missed the full message
I had no idea who she was before this, but her message is simple, try to do good while you are here on earth, and not be ashamed of who you are. Yes she can also play the flute.
At least she has a talent, or two as some may argue. It's the the collective celebrating the untalented who think putting on makeup with a shovel and taking photos of themselves with filters and posting them for the sheep to fawn over is the real issue. I mean what are they trying to hide under all that makeup and filters? In a world where people are just celebrated for nothing, she comes as breath of fresh air, even though her music is not my cup of tea.
She wanted to see someone "beautiful like her" on TV?? Apperently there aren't enough good looking people on TV. Yeah..
Don’t be stupid. She meant large and Black. 🙄
I think she means she always wanted to see a morbidly obese person full of "fake" body positivity who's able to manipulate her fans for her own gain while spreading the illusion tha being morbidly obese is completely acceptable 🙄😂
Her weight is killing her, and that’s a fact.
That's good.
And I’m sure you Two ^^ are perfect!!!😏
@@willcthestormchaser6493😄😆🤣
She's is DISGUSTING and a crime against humanity
If it is true that she knew one of those dancers was a virgin and urged her on and started a chant to get her to touch another woman’s breasts then she should lose everything. Young women are impressionable especially when they are working for celebrities and it is their first major job. You should protect your staff not put them in uncomfortable situations. If a man did this, his career would be OVER.
That recorder though!!!!!
I can still play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 😂😂
Surviving Lizzo an R-Belly Story coming soon to Netflix. 🍿
Why are the comments open? And if your gona open them dont delete comments and block people that kinda defeats the purpose of leaving the comments open
Who cares 😂
Glad I dont know who the hell this is.
Sorry she is so fake I read people well and I know behind closed doors that’s one mean woman don’t let camera time fool you😒
😂
You read people well? Ha!
Just like Ellen Degeneres.
The fame & power has gone to her head. I believe those dancers.
Never heard of her!
Yet you clicked.
I didn't know a recorder could sound that good!
She is a good singer and a decent pop artist but her character though ! She lack self awareness and being yes-maned by the industry got in to her mind.
😂 the media is covering this pretty lightly 😂
Attorneys and accuser’s are the only ones to speak out?
Two sides to every story!
I ain’t heard one hit from this Big Girls Club!!!
“she’s a comedian and singer” 😂😂😂 she’s about as funny as Amy Schumer on a good night…oh wait there is no good night
I Feel the same way. 60 minutes is known for its storytelling but a PR CAMPAIGN IS disappointing.
Diabetes, High blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, TIA's, falls, all kinds of terrible things from having too much weight on your frame. It's ZERO judgment on who you are, but the avatar needs to cared for.
Indoctrination at its Best 😂😂😂
1 MILLION Percent not surprised about Lizzo. The Loudest mouth that cries wolf is almost always the wolf. Like a popular girl who looks
beautiful and confident yet is the most vicious and insecure. Once she got the audience and validation she wanted the REAL INNER Lizzo
came out and she thought she couldn't be touched. Time for celebs to be dethroned.
WOW never heard anyone make a record sound like an instrument of beauty, never heard her music but is funnier then most female comedians I watch all the time, just quick witted and has that natural humility and humor you get from tough times you laugh or you cry, seems like an amazing woman, just worry she's 36 and her wieght it's great body positivity, but also a health crisis I know cause I bounce regularly from 170 to well near 400, depending on medications and my disease, now on a downswing again, changing near nothing at 47 where it's harder to loose my body is like a science fiction movie ;) Hope she is healthy enough to entertain as long as Tina Turner did, loosing just a little could extend her influence for many yers hate to see young stars who burn bright but short :(
I really can't understand singers or celebrities who advocate that it's okay to be overweight. Being overweight is not okay, and it will never be okay. You don't need to be overweight to feel empowered! There are many underlying health issues that can result from being overweight. There's nothing positive about being obese, so advocating for body positivity among the overweight is pointless. Instead, the focus should be on how to maintain a healthy body weight and eat nutritiously.
I feel that the body shaming could have been the result of because she is big and at first wanting to have big women dancers but her ego has become too big that she doesn’t want her dancers over shadowing herself and her size because it’s all about her self wanting to stand out so now wanting her dancers to lose weight so that she has all eyes on her, I have heard about the other woman saying what she made them do is sickening if true and I obviously don’t know this lizzo or heard her sing so I don’t know much about her but I cannot see a few dancers lie just for the hell of it especially when it’s really that bad it’s not something that 1 person said but a few If it was one maybe but even so to explain very minute things that is exstreamy detailed is not something that you would hear about if it was not true there’s to much depth to it and definitely feel that there’s some truth to it ,
Mind your business...is the best advice she gave during the earlier interview.
I’ve always liked the recorder. When someone plays it well.
Why is it that the backup dancer who won the backup dancing competition are the ones suing her after she fired them. Is it because they might not find a job in the industry once you get fired like that.
I am here going. OK, so we will be talking about Lizzo taking a break or answering the lawsuit properly. No, it's 60 minutes of embarrassing.
She acts like she’s the only overweight person in the industry 😂
This dude has clearly never heard of Jethro Tull.
Jethro Tull = OG heavy metal flute bad @sses!
For real!
Beyoncé put Lizzo back on her song 🎶 she knows something about her former employee i believe LIZZO.❤❤❤❤
She recently unfollowed Lizzo.
I don't believe a word of lizzo's allegations rebuttal. I don't believe her at all!
I don't believe that there is a real face under all that makeup and filters. I don't believe it at all.
People have to wait for the truth before they Judge!
She is so sweet and innocent here lol, just plain adorable. Pa-lease!!
👎
she's getting canceled this year.
The rags to riches story is nice. But allegations aren't. She has the money to settle out of court though.
SHE IS A NASTY PERSON FOR WHAT SHE DID. THIS FEELS LIKE A PR STUNT FOR AUSTRALIAN 60 MINS
Why nis SHE making the rules, IF people see a big girl and want to say yes Queen, they can. Not because this thing says they can or can't. she does not make the rules.
Well Lizzo you have alot of questions to answer for now to the LA Courts😢
"There are few "bigger" pop stars in the world right now then Lizzo" 😂
LOCK HER UP!!!!
Haha 😆😝😂😍
If you want sassy big girls to dance then you gotta pay sassy big girl prices
Omg why is he doubled over in hysterical laughter after every single word she says?
I have never heard of her….
Again. In America. Its innocent until proven guilty. To see the way everyone has turned their back on her immediately makes me sick. I support the dancers bringing on the lawsuit just as I support Lizzo. None of us know the truth yet. Remember Michael and what he went through? Let's not make judgments until both sides of the stories are told.
Well said! 👏
I do not understand why people take small children to concerts. What a nightmare.
"There are fewer BIGGER pop stars in the world today." There are indeed a few things that set her apart from the average performer/person. 😂
I would love to see in concert Kenny G ( my favorite jazz, flute playing man) & Lizzo duet on a dance tune & romantic tune. I'm 56 yrs old & have only been to one concert, Keith Sweat first concert (don't laugh 😅). I have Lupus, fibromyalgia & Erosive Osteoarthritis alone with extreme depression but I'd do my best to try & see them together. Lizzo, I'm so proud of you! My mother (RIP) was always large, but it didn't stop her from dressing her butt off & being beautiful. And you've inspired me to stand strong in my Self-Authenticity as an Ordained Minister (I get alienated because of my [faith] in my Jesus). You're a [true] inspiration.
I'm really sorry about your health problems. I've had fibro forever, otherwise known as "fibrofuckingmyalgia" or "fibroruinyourlifemyalgia." I wish you well. If you ever get to go to a Garth Brooks concert, you'd love it and would leave there feeling great! You will never forget a Garth Brooks concert. I hope you get to one soon...
Why the hell would you move to Minneapolis to be a hip hop star?!?!?!?!
It looks like it could be time for Lizzo to “face the music.” This is a very bad (and shocking) time, especially with her coming off the end of her 2022-23 Special Tour. Nobody knows how this will play out in court, so we can only wait and find out.
NAW … it’s TIME ⏰ 4 u to get a fffing life
And yea it’s gonna play out just fine cuz she didn’t DO THESE THINGS!! and to these people who are complaining/ coming for her; Grow TfU
I wish i could believe she is innocent but i doubt!
I’m still not sure who this person is but if she can sell, our trip was good for her most music nowadays it’s just not good
I've lived in mpls for over 20 years. I've followed the hip hop scene here. Never once heard of her.
You should get out more.
Same!
ohhh... This is the "Damage Control Team. 😅
No one should celebrate obesity, she's gonna have a heart attack. Promoting this behavior is dangerous...just as bad LGBT behavior.
@60 mins what's this got to do with the lawsuit ye started of talking about the law suit that's a pr stunt
Why turn off the sound after “perfecting the tune on the recorder”?? Smh. It all seems disingenuous
I don’t like Lizzo. I don’t like anyone that looks down on others, berates them and fat shames them.
Lizzo is bigger than all her dancers.
She is doing it to believe she is better than them at the cost of other's esteem expenses.
It's really nice too hear good things about Lizzo for a change 🙂
So the title should be changed
This is 60 minutes??? There isn't enough floss in the world to clean the poop out of their teeth after this one.
They adore her, because people want support. In this case, it's weight. Someone famous is saying it's not only OK to be obese, but it's a goal. Very sad, very unhealthy.
When did she say “being obese is the goal”? She’s saying, just let fat people exist without judgement, that’s all.
Just let people be! How are fat people harming YOU, specifically? I’ll wait…
What about asking her about the allegations numnuts..60 minutes wt.fff
And she’s smart , very bright …I’m sorry ? Not , yes let’s get to the VERACITY of these claims !!!
