Lizzo Speaks Out After Judge Dismisses Harassment & Discrimination Lawsuit: ‘The Truth Has Prevailed’

Lizzo addressed the dismissal of one lawsuit against her on September 1, 2023, through a video posted on her Instagram account. The 33-year-old artist appeared in front of the camera with a thoughtful expression and shared a statement via text overlay. Lizzo stated that she had "won the case against me and my touring company Big Grrrl Touring."

She elaborated on the dismissed claims, which were brought by Asha Daniels in 2023. These allegations included sexual harassment, racial, gender, and disability discrimination, which Lizzo firmly denied. The lawsuit claimed that Daniels had never met Lizzo and made baseless accusations, such as breaking an acrylic nail during her brief stint working on the tour.

Lizzo expressed relief at the outcome, attributing it to her lawyers' efforts and her unwavering belief in the truth. She emphasized that the truth matters most to her and reaffirmed her commitment to fighting any false claims made against her and her business ventures. Daniels' legal team expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling, arguing that the court had underestimated the impact of the alleged incidents.

They stated that they would consider appropriate next steps. Lizzo is currently embroiled in another lawsuit involving three former backup dancers, which her legal team has dismissed as a fabricated story by opportunistic individuals seeking financial gain.
