Attorneys for former backup dancers who are accusing Lizzo of sexual harassment said the singers lawyer is attempting to victim-shame and bully them over photos that show them smiling and posing with Paris cabaret performers while they were on tour earlier this year.

The attorneys comments came after TMZ published the photos , which the site said were taken backstage after a topless show, showing the dancers and cabaret performers all clothed smiling for the camera. Lizzos attorney, Marty Singer, described the women as happily carousing and gleefully reveling in the photos, which he said discredited their claims in the bogus lawsuit.

In a statement provided to HuffPost, the womens attorney Neama Rahmani accused Singer of trying the case in the media instead of the courtroom.

Weve addressed all these instances where the plaintiffs appear to be happy alongside Lizzo during their time working with her, Rahmani said. Of course, they wanted to keep their jobs. They had bills to pay just like everyone else but they finally had enough of the abuse.

In the lawsuit filed Aug. 1, Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez said that Lizzo and her team body-shamed them and fired one because she gained weight. The women said in the suit they felt embarrassed by an overtly sexual atmosphere that permeated their workplace, and mentioned the Paris show where the photos were taken. The women said Lizzo hid the fact that it was a nude cabaret bar, and the outing came a month after Davis said she was made visibly uncomfortable by an experience at a nude nightclub in Amsterdam.

The lawsuit, however, notes that the Paris show was artful and nowhere near as uncomfortable as their outing to Bananenbar, the Amsterdam nightclub, and emphasizes that the women were shocked that Lizzo would conceal the nature of the event from them, robbing them of the choice not to participate.

At the Amsterdam nightclub, the women claim in their lawsuit , Lizzo had pressured them to touch nude performers, catch dildos launched from the performers vaginas and eat bananas protruding from the performers vaginas.

The women were aghast with how little regard Lizzo showed for the bodily autonomy of her employees and those around her, especially in the presence of many people whom she employed, according to the lawsuit.

Lizzo has denied all the claims against her.

My work ethic, morals and respectfulness have been questioned, Lizzo wrote in a statement posted to social media. My character has been criticized. Usually I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.
