The singer’s lawyer alleges her former dancers “happily” met with topless performers, while the dancers’ legal team says the claim “doesn’t change any facts”

After Lizzo was sued by several of her former dancers for alleged sexual, racial and religious harassment as well as poor working conditions earlier this month, the singer’s lawyer claims she plans to countersue for the plaintiffs’ alleged hypocritical behavior.

On Wednesday, Lizzo’s lawyer Marty Singer shared photos with PEOPLE of plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez allegedly “happily cavorting backstage” with performers from Crazy Horse’s topless cabaret show on March 5, 2023 in Paris — after they claimed Lizzo pressured them into attending the performance while on tour in the lawsuit.

“These images showing the three plaintiffs gleefully reveling backstage after the topless show were taken after their February 2023 visit to Bananenbar in Amsterdam that they complain about in their lawsuit,” wrote Singer in a statement, referencing another club where they claimed to have been pressured to attend and touch nude performers.
