Megyn Kelly defends Lizzo from ‘weak sauce’ allegations by dancers: ‘Assumption of the risk’

Megyn Kelly defended “morbidly obese” entertainer Lizzo who is being sued by three of her former dancers who allege she created a hostile work environment by fat shaming them and forcing them to engage in vulgar acts with strippers at a sex club.

The conservative commentator discussed the allegations against the plus-sized singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, on a recent edition of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Sirius/XM, telling listeners that she is skeptical of the claims which she described as “weak sauce” while at the same time being critical of Lizzo herself.

“Such a role model,” Kelly said of the 35-year-old goddess of the “woke” left who was sued in Los Angeles Superior Court this month by the former tour performers who claim that she abused them.

“There’s this bizarre lawsuit against Lizzo,” Kelly began. “Now I confess, when I first saw this guys, I was like, ‘Well she’s very famous, she’s probably very rich, and that makes her a target.’ So I don’t necessarily believe the three dancers who came forward to say she created a hostile work environment.”

She added, “…their allegations sound like weak sauce to me. I mean the one is like ‘I had this feeling that she was upset about me gaining weight,'” as she played a clip of Lizzo’s accuser.

“So, ok that’s true … The fact that Lizzo is morbidly obese doesn’t change that reality for dancers who are in the professional industry,” Kelly said. “I don’t think that’s hostile work environment.”

“But now, since these three filed a lawsuit claiming Lizzo created a hostile work environment, more and more people are coming forward, it’s like six more who have come forward to say no, she’s a bully, she’s nasty, it is a hostile work environment and not just that…” Kelly said, adding that it’s being claimed that the singer is “really inappropriate sexually… she can’t stop talking about sex and sexual body parts and like something having to do with going to Amsterdam, and doing something with a banana out of one’s you know, lady parts that should not be done and her making a dancer touch the banana or touch the.. I’m not sure exactly but something X-rated not even R and that indeed could be a hostile work environment.”

An NBC News report on the lawsuit stated that during the trip to the Bananenbar strip club in Amsterdam, Lizzo “began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”

“The one gal is saying that they, that she made, she made them go to this performance in Amsterdam with the bananas,” Kelly added. “I guess people eat the bananas out of places that were not meant to have edible bananas… and that Lizzo basically made her, this backup dancer Arianna Davis interact with the dancer..,” playing a soundbite of Davis’ accusation.

She then played a clip of the “classy lady” Lizzo from before the visit to the banana bar saying, “But I’m trying to go to this show where you eat the banana out of the p***y… I need my potassium if you know what I’m sayin’..”

“Work for a degenerate and expect degenerate work conditions,” said lawyer David Freiheit, who is known by the moniker Viva Frei.”Expect to have to descend into debauchery if you’re working for Lizzo.”

“Lizzo… is a degenerate, it’s clear from the lyrics. It’s clear from the lifestyle,” he added. “Anybody who wants to go work for Lizzo, the questions gonna be, you know, you either go out and fraternize with degenerates in the Red-light district of Amsterdam or you don’t and you get on the outs and you go find another job and maybe go work for I don’t know, a country singer and not a hip hop singer who talks about…”

Kelly added, “It’s a good point… It’s not like they thought they were working for Margaret Thatcher. Assumption of the risk.”
