Lizzo was accused by three of her former dancers of sexual harassment earlier this month.
Legal representatives for three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused the singer’s legal team of “victim shaming” their clients.
Lawyers for Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez said they "stand by every claim in the lawsuit".
Earlier this month the dancers accused Lizzo of sexual, racial and religious harassment, creating a hostile work environment, disability discrimination, assault and false imprisonment, among other allegations.
Marty Singer, who’s said to represent the American pop star, told US media that the lawsuit had a “range of factual inaccuracies” and that the case was “irreparably damaged”.

"We've addressed all these instances where the plaintiffs appear to be happy alongside Lizzo during their time working with her," said Neama Rahmani, representative for the accusers.
"We stand by every claim in the lawsuit and look forward to trial."
At the start of this month, Lizzo said the accusations were "too outrageous to not be addressed".
"I'm hurt, but I will not let the good work I've done in the world be overshadowed by this. I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support to lift me up during this difficult time," she added.
