Controversial S#!T

Jonathan Majors se suponía que tenía una película por salir este año, pero eso no pasará por el momento, pues Disney ha decidido ponerla en pausa, en medio de su juicio pendiente por asalto.

"Magazine Dreams" ha sido cancelado indefinidamente por estudio, que tenía previsto estrenar la película bajo su filial Searchlight Pictures a principios de diciembre. A partir de ahora, sin embargo, la fecha de lanzamiento de la película se ha movido a "no fijado".

El momento no es ninguna sorpresa, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio penal de Jonathan Majors ha sido programado para el 29 de noviembre, solo una semana más o menos antes del estreno inicial de "Magazine Dreams". Teniendo en cuenta que Disney no sabe qué camino tomarán las cosas en los tribunales, están cubriendo sus apuestas por él.

Por extraño que parezca, se procedió con la temporada 2 de "Loki", que cuenta con Majors en gran medida, y que en realidad ha recibido críticas muy favorables en los últimos tiempos, especialmente por su actuación como Kang.

Por un lado, Disney parece haberlo apoyado sacando adelante "Loki" sin problemas, pero, por otro lado, están frenando el rodaje de una película centrada exclusivamente en él como protagonista.

Por supuesto, está la huelga de actores en curso, que también podría estar influyendo en ello.

Para enredar las aguas aún más, están todos los giros que ha tomado el caso judicial de Majors, incluyendo el hecho de que la policía de Nueva York detuvo a su denunciante y ex novia, Grace Jabbari, bajo sospecha de asalto, a pesar de que la oficina del fiscal de Manhattan dice que no la están procesando.

En otras palabras, su detención no servirá de nada y resultó ser un movimiento muy extraño de parte de los policías, dando a entender que simplemente no están en sintonía con el D.A. allí.

El D.A. mientras tanto, ha añadido munición adicional a sus pruebas, con un informe de la policía del Reino Unido que sugiere que una mujer separada acusó a Jonathan Majors de violencia también. Los detalles de ese supuesto incidente, sin embargo, no están claros.

Luego, están todas esas fotos/videos de vigilancia de Jabbari la noche del suceso, donde se ve bien después de haber sido supuestamente maltratada. Como hemos dicho, todo ha sido muy raro.

Jonathan Majors was supposed to have an Oscar-buzzy film come out this year -- but that ain't happening now, 'cause Disney's hitting pause ... this amid his pending assault trial.

The actor's bodybuilding drama, "Magazine Dreams," has been yanked indefinitely by the Mouse House ... which was due to release this flick under its Searchlight Pictures subsidiary in early December. As of now, though, the film's release date has been moved to "unset."

The timing is no surprise, considering JM's criminal trial has been scheduled to start on Nov. 29 ... just a week or so before "Magazine Dreams" was originally set for its debut. Considering Disney doesn't know which way things will go in court -- they're hedging their bets on him.

Strangely enough ... they proceeded with season 2 of "Loki," which heavily features Majors -- and which has actually gotten rave reviews of late, especially for his performance as Kang.

The guy finds himself in limbo at the moment -- on the one hand, Disney seems to have stood by him by not replacing him in the MCU and by trotting out "Loki" without issue ... but on the other hand, they're slowing their roll on a film that solely focuses on him as the star.

Of course, there's the actors' strike that's ongoing -- so that, too, could be playing into this.

Muddying up the waters even further, of course, have been all the twists and turns in Majors' case itself ... including the fact that the NYPD arrested his accuser/ex-GF, Grace Jabbari, on suspicion of assault -- even though the Manhattan D.A.'s office says they're not prosecuting.

In other words, her arrest will amount to nothing -- and it proved to be a very strange move by the cops ... showing that they're simply not on the same page with the D.A. there.

The D.A. meanwhile has added apparent extra ammo to their evidence war chest -- throwing in a UK police report of alleged DV in England ... suggesting a separate woman has accused JM of violence as well. The details of that alleged incident, however, aren't clear.

Then, there are all those surveillance pics/videos of Jabbari the night of ... looking quite alright after allegedly getting brutalized. Like we said, the whole thing has been weird as hell.

3:27 PM PT -- The State of Israel is fuming over Elon's pledge to help Gaza -- with its Minister of Communications saying his attempt to intervene is only going to bolster terrorists.

Shlomo Karhi took to Twitter to write, "Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.  HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS."

He adds, "Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them!  By then, my office will cut any ties with starlink."

Elon, meanwhile, has responded ... "We are not so naive.   Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza.   If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons.  Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal."

Elon Musk is coming to the rescue in Gaza -- which is currently being infiltrated by Israel ... and which is effectively cut off from the world in terms of communication and connection.

The multibillionaire tech boss announced this weekend that he'd be lending his Starlink satellite services to people on the ground there ... which will provide Internet access amid a blackout in the area as Israeli forces move in amid their delayed ground operation.

Elon actually broke the news in response to one of his famed foes, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who was decrying the fact that Israel had made Gaza go totally dark overnight.

Seemingly unprovoked, EM responded directly to the NY congresswoman, writing ... "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza." He went on to reiterate this with others, highlighting the UN as one of the orgs that'd get connected.

Of course, his specificity here speaks to the fact that Hamas terrorists are still all throughout Gaza -- which is who the Israelis are attempting to root out and eradicate ... despite an overwhelming call for a ceasefire worldwide, which has erupted into pro-Palestine protests.

In trying to find the ones responsible for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel -- which claimed more than 1,400 innocent lives -- thousands of Palestinians have been killed in retaliation.

The war has become incredibly polarizing, especially here in the States ... but Elon's stepping up and seemingly showing some compassion for Palestinians caught in the middle of this.

Disney's going back to the drawing board for their 'Snow White' reboot -- 'cause they just delayed its release by a year ... and are now promising actual dwarves, albeit fake ones.

The Mouse House made the announcement Friday ... instead of coming out in March, the 'SW' live-action film is slated for Spring 2025. Some cite the ongoing actors' strike as the impetus for this, but others see a far more obvious reason ... a helluva lot of backlash.

That seems to be confirmed with the first official publicity pic Disney released amid the delay news. You see Rachel Zegler (as Snow White) surrounded by the Seven Dwarfs ... only here, they're all completely animated with CGI -- and they're short, just like in the OG.

Why that's taking people by surprise ... earlier this year, set photos from this film leaked prematurely -- which showed 'em doing pickup shots out in the UK, and which appeared to unveil what the "dwarfs" were going to look like in this reimagined 21st-century version.

Instead of using little-person actors to play the dwarves ... Disney opted to cast 6 random people (or typical height) and only 1 little person -- a decision that pissed off many online.

Of course, the whole reason they even went that route was because of Peter Dinklage's very public griping about the whole 'Snow White' story ... which he found demeaning to little people and completely "backwards." As a result, Disney promised to go in another direction.

Now, however, the studio seems to be backtracking yet again -- 'cause here, they're teasing actual dwarves ... which appears to indicate they are, in fact, going to play up the classic.

Of course, if they do animate these dwarves (as is suggested in the promo pic) ... that'll undoubtedly get even more flak -- 'cause it'll make it so no little person actors can snag the coveted gigs. Plus, doing all CGI will cost a crap ton of more money ... so we'll see what Disney actually ends up doing. It's possible these drawn dwarves are just fill-ins for now.

The other element of controversy that Disney has to grapple with is its lead star ... Zegler herself has caught a lot of heat for hating on 'Snow White' and calling it outdated.

Mike Pence is throwing in the towel on his bid for the presidency, 'cause he says it's simply not his time to be commander-in-chief ... but it sounds like politics are still in his future.

The ex-Veep announced Saturday that he was suspending his presidential campaign, which has been going for about 5 months now ... but without much traction, it seems. He dropped the bombshell during a speech he gave for the Republican Jewish Coalition in Vegas.

In MP's remarks, he cites a Bible verse that says "there's a time for every purpose under heaven," adding that after much thought and prayer -- he's realized right now isn't his.

You can kinda hear people in the crowd react with shock ... which changes into cheering.

Pence says while he might be exiting the 2024 race, he isn't abandoning his mission of fighting for "principled conservative values" and helping elect GOP leaders. It's a pretty shocking development -- especially considering he was one of the higher-profile candidates.

Pence positioned himself as a traditional Republican ... aka, someone who stood against Donald Trump/MAGA -- even though he was 45's right-hand man in the WH for 4 years.

That allegiance to Trump -- which was strong throughout his entire presidency -- waned toward the end ... when Pence was thrust into the Jan. 6 insurrection as one of the primary targets ... all because he refused to do Trump's bidding in overturning the election results.

In the years since Jan. 6, Pence has come out firmly against his old boss ... but as far as making an impact as a would-be contender -- he never really gained any serious steam.

Time will tell how long the others can hold out -- at this rate, Trump is far and away the favorite to secure the Republican nomination ... no one else is seriously threatening that.

Disney está volviendo a la mesa de dibujo para su reboot de "Blancanieves", ya que el estudio informó que decidieron retrasar su lanzamiento en un año, al mismo tiempo que prometió que los enanos ahora serán reales... aunque falsos.

El estudio de Mickey Mouse hizo el anuncio el viernes. En lugar de estrenarse en marzo, la película de acción real de Blancanieves está programada para la primavera de 2025. Algunos citan la huelga de actores en curso como el motivo, pero otros ven una razón mucho más obvia, y es que ha recibido un montón de reacciones en contra.

Esto parece confirmarse con la primera imagen publicitaria que Disney compartió junto a la noticia del retraso. En ella se ve a Rachel Zegler (como Blancanieves) rodeada de los Siete Enanitos, solo que aquí están completamente animados con tecnología computacional (CGI) y son bajitos, como en la película original.

A principios de este año, se filtraron prematuramente unas fotos del set de rodaje en Reino Unido, que parecían develar el aspecto que tendrían los "enanitos" en esta versión re imaginada del siglo XXI.

En lugar de utilizar actores pequeños para interpretar a los enanitos, Disney optó por elegir a 6 personas con una altura promedio y solo 1 pequeña, una decisión que cabreó a muchos usuarios en las redes.

Por supuesto, la razón por la que tomaron ese camino fue la queja pública de Peter Dinklage sobre la historia de Blancanieves, que consideró degradante para las personas pequeñas y completamente "retrógrada". Como resultado, Disney prometió ir en otra dirección.

Ahora, sin embargo, el estudio parece estar dando marcha atrás una vez más porque en esta nueva foto parece que están probando con enanos reales, lo que parece indicar que van a optar por el estilo clásico.

Por supuesto, si animan a estos enanos (como se sugiere en la imagen promocional), eso sin duda recibirá aún más críticas, porque implicaría que ningún actor pequeño pueda hacerse con los codiciados papeles. Además, hacer todo con CGI costará muchísimo más dinero, así que ya veremos qué acaba haciendo Disney. Es posible que estos enanos dibujados sean solo de relleno por ahora.

El otro elemento de controversia con el que Disney ha tenido que lidiar es su estrella principal. La misma Zegler ha sido muy criticada por odiar a Blancanieves y calificarla de anticuada.

A YouTuber's bodyguard punched a guy's lights out -- all of which was caught on video ... and which reeks of déjà vu considering he did this before while working for DaBaby.

We're talking about Jack Doherty, who's pretty famous among the Gen Z crowd ... and who posted a wild clip of a violent altercation that went down Friday night during what looks to be some sort of Halloween party here in L.A. alongside fellow YouTuber Corinna Kopf.

It looks like Jack was arguing with a couple guys who were rolling with Corinna and her crew -- all stemming from an apparent snub she dished out to Jack while at the party -- and they're all bickering back and forth for a while ... until this security dude rolls up.

Eventually, he confronts one of the fellas Jack's facing off with ... and they start to exchange words -- which ultimately ends with JD's hired muscle throwing a haymaker out of nowhere.

The guy who gets punched -- who's way smaller than the bodyguard -- falls straight to the ground ... and his friends (including Corinna) start to yell at the perpetrator, asking him why he did that. The bodyguard backs away and tries cussing them out in his defense.

Jack seemed happy to post the clip online, and he added "context" underneath ... writing, "they were pressing us," which seems to mean that the guys he was initially arguing with were threatening him. But based on the longer version of this incident ... that's iffy at best.

Now, here's the kicker ... this bodyguard was actually wrapped up in something similar a few years back while working for DaBaby -- something the Internet was quick to remember.

We actually covered this at the time ... DB was performing in New Orleans, when he started getting swarmed by fans as he waded into the crowd -- at which point, this same man (who was working for DaBaby) threw a similar punch ... only then, he KO'd a freaking lady.

A closer look shows it is, indeed, the same man ... and we've figured out who the hell he is. He goes by Kane Kongg on social media. He's a content creator himself -- but obviously does bodyguard work on the side for the rich and famous.

50 Cent can't get enough of mocking Madonna -- and now he's even poking fun at her butt, reigniting their beef.

The rapper took to Instagram Friday and posted side-by-side photos comparing Madonna in a silver bodysuit performing onstage to an animated black insect.

His caption got even more personal, zeroing in on her rump. It read, "who the f*** did this? She’s rich how the hell she didn’t get it fixed 🤨I want the f***ing doctors name right now. I mean damn it man ! LOL"

Madonna has yet to comment, but she must be pretty miffed at Fitty who has a track record of dissing the legendary pop star. In June 2022, Fitty posted a racy Madonna snapshot next to images of aliens.

He wrote a caption that read, “I hope she didn’t make her kids take this picture. LOL at 63 somebody tell her to chill out please." Fitty has since deleted the post.

Going back further, Fitty took another shot at Madonna's age in December 2021 after she posted sexy photos of herself on social media.

Fitty wrote on IG, "Yo this is the funniest s***! LOL. That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don't get her old a** up. LMFAO."

In a lengthy response, Madonna, in part, said, "Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me! I guess your new career [is] getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media."

50 Cent no se cansa de burlarse de Madonna, y ahora incluso se mofó de su trasero, reavivando su pelea.

El rapero publicó dos fotos en Instagram el viernes en las que compara a Madonna en un body plateado sobre el escenario con un dibujo de un insecto.

Su pie de foto fue incluso más personal, pues se centró particularmente en su trasero. Decía: "¿Quién diablos ha hecho esto? Ella es rica, ¿cómo no se lo arregló? Quiero el nombre del maldito médico ahora mismo. Maldita sea, LOL".

Madonna aún no ha hecho comentarios, pero debe de estar bastante enojada con Fitty, que tiene un historial de insultos a la legendaria estrella del pop. En junio de 2022, publicó una foto de ella junto a imágenes de extraterrestres.

Escribió un pie de foto que decía: "Espero que no le haya pedido a sus hijos que le tomaran esta foto". LOL a los 63 que alguien le diga que se calme, por favor". Desde entonces, Fitty borró el post.

Volviendo más atrás, en 2021, se fue en contra de su edad, después de que ella publicara fotos sexy de sí misma en las redes sociales.

En ese entonces escribió: "Yo, esto es divertido s***! LOL. Esa es Madonna debajo de la cama tratando de hacer como una virgen a los 63 años. LMFAO".

En una larga respuesta, Madonna, dijo: "Aquí está 50 Cent pretendiendo ser mi amigo. Ahora has decidido hablar mal de mí. Supongo que tu nueva carrera [es] llamar la atención intentando humillar a otros en las redes sociales".

Bill Maher was on a tear Friday night, acknowledging a deep state but not the one people talk about.

The 'Real Time' host got real ... it's become impossible in the United States to build anything -- houses, windmills, toilets, you name it -- without jumping through endless hoops of overregulation by legislators and bureaucrats.

BM offers a slew of examples ... a toilet in San Francisco that cost $1.7 million. He says it's needed because the people s**ting and pissing on the sidewalk have been disturbing people breaking into cars.

In S.F., anyone who wants to build a home must secure 87 permits.

And there's this ... Wyoming is building the largest wind farm in North America, but it took 18 years to get approval to START building. As Bill says, when the first paperwork was filled out Leo's GF wasn't even born.

Bill has some history here ... it took him more than a year to get solar at his house, and he let the world know -- many times!

Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya's breaking down Francis Ngannou's odds of beating Tyson Fury in the boxing ring Saturday night ... putting his chance squarely at "ZERO," flat out telling us it ain't happening!

TMZ Sports was chatting with ODLH -- as he was promoting boxing star Ryan Garcia's upcoming return to the ring -- when we asked him about today's fight in Saudi Arabia ... pitting The Predator, MMA's most feared striker, vs. The Gypsy King, the best heavyweight boxer in the world.

"I think I have a better chance at beating Tiger Woods in golf," Oscar told us ... not mincing a single word.

We followed up ... no chance at all?!

"Zero," De La Hoya responded.

"I'll tell you one thing about Tyson Fury and Ngannou. It's gonna be entertaining, while it lasts I believe. Tyson Fury, you have to realize, he went in there against [Deontay] Wilder. He goes in there vs. Wladimir Klitschko, so he's a fighter all his life inside the boxing ring."

Despite clearly seeing no way the former UFC champ can win, Oscar still gave him credit for accepting the bout.

"Ngannou, I commend him for even trying this. I take my hat off to him for even trying this. He's gonna make a s***load of money. I just think when Tyson Fury gets his number and his rhythm, he's gonna play with him and probably knock him out."

FYI, Francis last fought in January 2022 -- a UFC contest -- against heavyweight contender, Ciryl Gane. Ngannou won by unanimous decision. Tyson last fought and beat Derek Chisora by TKO in December 2022.

Fury is regarded as not just the best heavyweight boxer of his era, but of of the greatest ever, period. Meanwhile, Ngannou, a striker who puts fear in his opponents, has never boxed professionally.

Bottom line, there might not be anyone out there who knows boxing better than De La Hoya ... but as they say, there's a reason they play the game, or in this case, have the fight.

Lance Bass dice que el odio a Justin Timberlake tiene que parar... porque si Britney Spears pudo perdonarlo, todo el mundo puede hacerlo.

Nos encontramos con el miembro de *NSYNC el jueves en LAX y nos dijo que se estaba preparando para leer las nuevas memorias de Britney, que está repleto de historias sobre su exnovio, Justin Timberlake.

Lance dice que la gente que va detrás de Justin por su rol en el aborto de Britney, las acusaciones de engaño y su eventual ruptura debería parar y ser más compasiva.

Aunque Lance cree que todo el mundo tiene derecho a tener su propia opinión sobre el cantante, piensa que las personas deberían tomar nota de la actitud de Britney y ser un poco más tolerante.

El libro de Britney ha sido un gran éxito, y Lance se alegra de que ella haya sido capaz de contar su versión de las cosas, bromeando que debería copiarle y conseguir que Michelle Williams realice la versión de audio de su propio libro de memorias, si alguna vez escribe uno.

Por su parte, Justin ha estado bastante callado sobre Britney, pero Lance está de su lado.

Lance Bass says the Justin Timberlake hate needs to stop ... because if Britney Spears can forgive him, so can everyone else.

We got the *NSYNC member Thursday at LAX and he told us he was getting set to read Britney's new memoir, which is chocked full of stories about her ex-boyfriend, JT.

Lance says folks coming after Justin for his role in Britney's abortion, the cheating allegations and their eventual breakup should back off and practice a little forgiveness.

While Lance says everyone is entitled to their own opinion about Justin, he says people should take a note from Britney and just cut the guy some slack.

Britney's book has been a smash hit ... and Lance is glad she's been able to tell her side of things, joking about copying her and getting Michelle Williams to do the audio version should he ever write a memoir.

For his part, Justin's been pretty mum on Britney's tell-all ... but Lance has his back.

Adidas shoulda seen Kanye West's antisemitic rants coming -- during one of his first meetings with the company, 11 years ago, he reportedly drew a swastika on a shoe sketch.

Shortly after signing on with the German sneaker giant in 2013, employees presented a bunch of shoe sketches to Kayne, which he did not like -- and, in response, he picked up a marker and drew a swastika over one of the sketches ... according to a NYT report.

That move shocked everyone in the room, especially because the meeting was reportedly going down close to Nuremberg, where Nazis infamously stood trial for war crimes after WW II.

Kanye set the bar with that move, though, because the NYT report claims, in future meetings,  he advised "a Jewish Adidas manager to kiss a picture of Adolf Hitler every day" -- and repeatedly told other Adidas employees what a "master marketer" Hitler was, and praised his "command of propaganda."

Keep in mind, Adidas remained in the Yeezy biz for nearly 10 years, and made a ton of money with Kanye, until last year ... when he started publicly spewing his antisemitic beliefs.

Adidas reportedly tripled Kanye's salary during a 2016 contract negotiation but added a morals clause in the deal -- perhaps because it was, by then, well aware of his affinity for Hitler and the Nazis.

Adidas debe haber visto venir los desplantes antisemitas de Kanye West.  Un reporte revela que durante una de sus primeras reuniones con la empresa, hace once años, supuestamente dibujó una esvástica en un boceto de zapatillas.

Poco después de firmar con el gigante deportivo en 2012, los empleados le presentaron un montón de bocetos de zapatillas, que no le gustaron. En respuesta, Kanye cogió un rotulador y dibujó una esvástica sobre uno de los bocetos, según un reportaje del New York Times.

Ese movimiento conmocionó a todos en la sala, sobre todo porque la reunión se estaba llevando a cabo cerca de Nuremberg, donde los nazis infamemente fueron juzgados por crímenes de guerra después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Kanye sentó el tono con ese movimiento, porque el informe del NYT afirma que en futuras reuniones aconsejó a "un gerente judío de Adidas que besara una foto de Adolf Hitler todos los días", y repetidamente dijo a otros empleados de Adidas el gran genio que era Hitler en cuanto al marketing y elogió su "dominio de la propaganda."

Es importante tener en cuenta que Adidas se mantuvo en el negocio junto a Yeezy durante casi diez años e hizo una tonelada de dinero con Kanye hasta el año pasado, cuando comenzó a vomitar sus creencias antisemitas públicamente.

Adidas supuestamente triplicó el salario de Kanye durante una negociación de contrato en 2016, pero agregó una cláusula moral en el acuerdo, tal vez porque para entonces ya era muy consciente de su afinidad hacia Hitler y los nazis.

Lizzo's tour staffers have her back in the sexual harassment lawsuit leveled against the singer by some former dancers ... saying Lizzo promoted a positive environment and never forced anyone to go to sex shows they didn't want to attend.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, 18 independent members of Lizzo's touring company wrote declarations standing with Lizzo and disputing the claims made against her by three of her former dancers ... Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez.

Kiara Mooring, a dancer on the tour, is pushing back against claims there was an unspoken rule about facing punishment for not going out with Lizzo when invited -- as the dancers claim in their suit.

She says, "This claim also makes no sense because plenty of the dancers (myself included) did not go to Bananenbar that night and we still have our job dancing with Lizzo."

Remember ... Bananenbar hosts Amsterdam's famed banana sex show, and it's where the dancers suing Lizzo claim she sexually denigrated them by allegedly forcing them to touch the nude performers.

Melissa Locke, another dancer, says she remembers talking with two of Lizzo's accusers, Davis and Rodriguez, the morning after the Bananenbar outing. She says, "They never said they felt uncomfortable or pressured. They were very enthusiastic about what a great night out they had."

Melissa adds ... "I remember telling them, 'That sounds like so much fun, I wish you had woken me up to go with you.' They agreed that it was a fun night and told me that they went out in the Red Light District after. They did not complain or sound upset in any way."

Davis claims Lizzo body-shamed her for gaining weight and used an admission of an eating disorder to justify firing her, but two other dancers say they aren't buying it.

Alaini Walker, who started dancing on tour after the accusers were out, says ... "In my experience, there was absolutely no body shaming on tour. I have experienced racial discrimination, sexual harassment and body shaming in this industry, but never while working with Lizzo. In fact, Lizzo’s tour felt like the opposite of many negative experiences I have had as a dancer."

Asia Banks backs up Alaini, saying ... "I was the biggest dancer on the tour. Lizzo always went out of her way to make me feel secure and confident in my body, including by making sure I was comfortable in every single costume for the show."

Zuri Appleby, the bass player, says Davis was never fat-shamed ... "To the contrary, everyone on the tour was genuinely concerned about Davis, not because she had gained weight, but because she was lax about her performances, her hygiene and her health."

Chawnta Van, a dancer, says she never experienced or witnessed racism on tour. She says Lizzo supports and empowers Black women and "would never tolerate any racism on tour."

Lizzo's accusers claim they had to turn down other dancing gigs during pauses on tour ... but Chawnta says the dancers had a retainer where they would be paid a percentage of their weekly rate when the tour was paused, and could still book other gigs when Lizzo didn't have a show.

Remember ... Noelle claims she feared Lizzo was going to physically attack her during a May 3 meeting where she resigned, but another dancer who says she was there claims, "Lizzo never got near Rodriguez or in her face."

The assistant tour manager, Molly Gordon, says Crystal was fired for performance, tardiness and budget restrictions ... and she says Crystal begged to hang around on tour after being given the boot.
