Just hours after singer Lizzo was sued by three of her former backup dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment, another dancer and a director are leveling similar accusations.

After the lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, two more women came forward with similar claims – dancer Courtney Hollinquest and director Sophia Nahil Allison.
