The plantiffs' attorney, Ron Zambrano,said in a statement to PEOPLE, “There is no doubt that Lizzo has built quite a career for herself, and she has certainly achieved a lot. However, her success and popularity does not give her the right to treat her employees with such disrespect in violation of numerous laws. We’re happy to hear that this has been a wakeup call for her as maybe she can now acknowledge the pain and distress that she caused the plaintiffs.”
For her part, SZA has yet to comment on Made in America’s cancellation.
