Lizzo Speaks Out After Harassment & Discrimination Lawsuit Dismissal
Billboard • • entertainment
Key Points:
- A federal judge dismissed one of the lawsuits against Lizzo and her touring company, Big Grrrl Touring, related to claims made by a former wardrobe assistant.
- Lizzo posted a video on Instagram expressing relief and emphasizing that the claims were baseless, noting the accuser had worked with her for less than three weeks and never met her personally.
- The dismissed lawsuit involved allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination by Asha Daniels, which Lizzo has consistently denied; both Lizzo and her company are now cleared in this case.
- Daniels’ lead counsel criticized the ruling, arguing it underestimated the cumulative impact of the alleged sexually charged work environment, and indicated they are considering further legal action.
- Lizzo continues to face another separate lawsuit from three former backup dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and a toxic workplace, which her legal team denies as opportunistic and fabricated.
