Lizzo offered tell-all interview to clear up sexual harassment lawsuit after bitter legal row with former dancers
HER career took a massive hit after three of her former dancers went public with a damaging lawsuit accusing her of fat shaming and sexual harassment.
Now Lizzo is preparing to bite back.
Following the bombshell in July, which included allegations of religious and racial harassment, Lizzo put out a statement detailing her upset over the claims levelled against her.
Behind the scenes, a number of approaches have been made to her team about putting her side of the story.
I have been told that when the time is right, the US singer wants to do a high-profile television interview.
A source said: “Lizzo was privately inundated with support from people who knew her when the lawsuit was made public.

“It has been an incredibly tough time for her and she has taken a huge hit to her reputation.
"She has had a number of people interested in a sit down interview but it is an offer from (US TV personality) Gayle King that appears to be the bid she will consider.
“There is obviously still a lot going on legally and Lizzo is being guided by her team as to what would be the best course of action to take.”
Since the lawsuit from her former dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez was made public, Lizzo has carried on defiantly.

But it can’t have been easy for her after she faced a huge backlash on social media.
As one of the standout leaders of the body positivity movement, Lizzo’s whole ethos and message was called into question.
At the time she said: “My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned.
‘Too outrageous’
"My character has been criticised.
“Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.
“These sensationalised stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behaviour on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
I think she has a lot more to say. And her fans certainly want to hear it.

Move is a Win Win for Jaime
SHE had a starring role in EastEnders and has just finished a brilliant run in 2:22: A Ghost Story in the West End.
But now Jamie Winstone has revealed her next career move will be teaming up with her British screen legend dad Ray to produce a new feature film.
At the premiere of actor and rapper Adam Deacon’s film Sumotherland, which Jaime stars in, she said: “There’s a film brewing.
“I’m producing something with my dad next year.
“It’s very much in the beginning and I don’t know if the screen’s big enough for both Winstones just yet, but it will be a historical film.”
Jaime also praised her pal Adam’s decision to open up about his mental health struggles in my column on Monday.
The actress, who appears alongside Jeremy Corbyn and Jennifer Saunders in the comedy crime caper, added: “I saw Adam’s climb and I saw his mental health wobble.
“A lot of people were very scared of that.
“I was just happy to guide him and we grew from that together.
“Ultimately I was always in awe of Adam because he was so talented.”
