On Tuesday, August 1, three of Lizzo‘s background dancers filed a lawsuit against her for sexual harassment and for fostering a hostile work environment. In addition, they claimed that the singer, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, had fired a dancer after body-shaming her for gaining weight, despite her unwavering support for ‘body positivity’. Lizzo is known to be dating Myke Wright.
Who is Myke Wright?
Myke Wright is a comedian, singer, actor, and artist. He has appeared in the films Doubting Thomas, How to Be a Grown Up, and Breaking & Entering. “I believe in always pushing beyond comfort zones. For that reason, many people know me to be specialized in many disciplines,” Wright told in an interview.
The entertainer, who was born in Detroit, reportedly relocated to Los Angeles after completing a college art degree. “It felt good to be a beginner again, in a new city, far from anything recognizable. There’s a lot of room for creativity, exploration, and imagination,” Wright told VoyageLA.

Wright and Lizzo also enjoy music, which is another thing they have in common. In high school, he played in The Grey Level, a rock band, and Phresh Air, an alternative hip-hop group.
Lizzo and Wright fueled relationship rumors after they were seen enjoying dinner together in Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day, but they had previously been linked. The couple were seen together at Crustacean Beverly Hills in October 2021.

Wright has since joined Lizzo on a few occasions, including the FYC celebration for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime series and the 2022 MTV VMAs, where she won an award.
The couple attended the Pre-GRAMMY Gala in February 2023, walked the red carpet together, and sat next to one another throughout the music awards show. This marked their first appearance at the Grammys. Later, Lizzo posted a few images of them with the phrase “Hard Launch” on Instagram.
