Case against Lizzo's Big Grrl Touring company dropped by federal judge

A lawsuit against Lizzo's production company has been dismissed by a US federal judge, following a three-year legal battle. The case, filed by former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels, alleged that senior members of the company's Big Grrrl Touring created a hostile work environment through harassment, discrimination, and unfair treatment.

Despite multiple claims, the judge ruled that the alleged incidents were not severe enough to qualify under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and lacked sufficient evidence to implicate Lizzo or her touring company. Lizzo expressed relief on social media, stating that the truth mattered more to her than the claims made against her.
