Lizzo 'grateful' after judge dismisses lawsuit against production company

Lizzo expressed relief after a U.S. district judge dismissed the remaining claims in a lawsuit filed by her former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels against the singer and her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc. District Judge Fernando L Aenlle‑Rocha issued a ruling on Tuesday that Daniels had not demonstrated any conduct by company employees amounting to “general hostility to women in the workplace” or “disparate treatment of men and women.” The judge noted that the alleged incidents—including the claim that Daniels’ foot was run over by a heavy clothing rack—were “while inappropriate and unprofessional,” but fell “within the scope of what the Supreme Court has held to beryllium extracurricular the protection” of the “ordinary tribulations of the workplace.” He also stated that the tribunal “does not question to minimise oregon disregard the pain” felt by Daniels, and that the injuries “do not suffice as disabilities” under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2024, the same judge had ruled that Daniels could not sue Lizzo individually, though Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc remained a defendant. Lizzo responded on Instagram, saying she was “relieved” at the outcome and would “continue to fight” each assertion made against her and her company. The judge’s decision was based on tribunal documents.
