AceShowbiz - Lizzo has been sued by three former dancers for pressuring them into eating bananas sticking out of sex workers' vaginas during a wild trip to Amsterdam. Now, a past interview where the femcee talked about her interest in that activity resurfaced.
When speaking to 3FM's DJ Frank van der Lende in 2019, the 35-year-old detailed her experience in the Red Light District of Amsterdam, which is known for its sex theaters, sex shops and nude clubs and bars. "It was people f**king, man. It was crazy. But you know what, it was beautiful," she recalled.
Lizzo said she saw a sex show where a couple was "passionately making love" and "kissing." However, she confessed that she was more interested in seeing a sex show involving fruit.
"But I'm trying to go to the show where you eat the banana out the p**y. Which one is that?" the Grammy winner asked the host, to which he replied, "It's the Bananenbar."
"Oh, that's the Bananenbar? And they have the banana in the coochie and you have to go, [makes biting sound]?" the female rapper exclaimed. "I need my potassium if you know what I'm saying. My puss-tassium."
In the lawsuit, plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez said while on a concert trip with the artist to Amsterdam in February of this year, Lizzo invited them for a night out on the town that ended in the city's Red Light District. They said in their filing, "Things quickly got out of hand."
"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," they added.
The dancers added Lizzo allegedly "pressured" and "goaded" Arianna into touching one of the nude performer's breasts. They also claim a month later Lizzo - real name Melissa Viviane Jefferson - deceived them once again into attending a nude show, claiming the action equated to "robbing them of the choice not to participate."
Arianna also claims in the lawsuit at one point she had no choice but to "soil herself" on stage during an "excruciating" re-audition, "fearing the repercussions" of excusing herself to go to the bathroom. Lizzo is said to have fired the dancer "on the spot" after learning she had recorded one of their meetings even though it was meant to have "a copy of the notes" the artist provided.
