Oscar Nominee Sophia Nahli Allison Says She Walked Away From Directing Lizzo Documentary After Being “Treated With Such Disrespect” By Singer

Allison added she was thrown into a sh*tty situation with little support.

But, in 2019, I traveled a bit with Lizzo to be the director of her documentary.

I walked away after about two weeks.

I was treated with such disrespect by her.

I witnessed how arrogant, unkind, and cruel she is.

I was not protected and thrown into a sh*tty situation with little support.

I felt gaslit and deeply hurt, but Ive healed.

Reading these reports make me realize how dangerous of a situation it was.

This kind of abuse of power happens far too often.

Much love and support to the dancers.

A documentary titledLove, Lizzowas released on HBO Max in November 2022.

It was directed by Doug Pray, whose other projects include 2009 filmArt & Copyand 2008 filmSurfwise.

Allison also said on social media that she has heard from others who went through similar experiences with Lizzo.
