Ouch! Lizzo Snaps Back!

By

Take a deep breath. Lizzo allegedly "intends" to sue the dancers suing her after previously settling with another group of dancers who sued her. Got that? According to her esteemed lawyer, Marty Singer - who's defended many upstanding citizens, such as Bryan Singer and Bill Cosby - Lizzo has "damning" photos of the dancers who're currently suing her, which feature all of them at an Amsterdam strip club where they claim Lizzo sexually harassed them - and get this, the dancers are smiling. Obviously this means that they truly enjoyed being ordered to touch a nude dancer and eat a banana out of her vagina, right? Or maybe their smiles were of the oh-God-don't-piss-off-the-boss variety. Gosh, who can say? Though, really, the dancers say "tomato," and Lizzo's lawyer says not "toma-toe," but "I'm a wee bit reachy and desperate." But wait, it gets better.


The Los Angeles Times just broke the story that Lizzo previously settled a lawsuit against another group of dancers who sued her for both "exploiting" them, and for using "unauthorized" and "intimate" footage of them for Lizzo's HBO documentary, "Love Lizzo" (note that the title is "Love Lizzo," not "Love, Lizzo") (if you get my drift) (but I digress). And what does Marty Singer have to say about this? He's brushing it aside, because the dancers presently suing are obvi making a dastardly cash grab since they continued working for Lizzo on the tour - and after the Amsterdam strip club incident. Because Marty has apparently never heard of "I need this job to make the rent so I won't rock the boat for fear of getting fired mid-tour." 

But, hey, that's a "bogus" argument, according to Marty, who says that in addition to photos of the happy dancers, he has video of them praising Lizzo. Because nothing says, "I'm praising Lizzo for the tour's electronic press kit because it's part of my job" like praising Lizzo for the tour's electronic press kit because its part of your job. Regardless, Lizzo allegedly intends to sue the dancers for "malicious prosecution" after she wins the lawsuit filed against her. 

I suppose this means that the dancers' attorney is free to use Lizzo's previous pictures and statements, including this doozy: "I'm trying to go to the show where you eat the banana outta the pussy! That's what I wanna do. I need my potassium, if you know what I mean." Oh, and for good measure: "There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women!"

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

OPEN POST: Monday Music At The Manor With DJ Li'l Scratch!

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
