Lizzo 'grateful' after judge dismisses lawsuit against production company
The About Damn Time singer says she is "relieved" at the outcome and will "continue to fight" every claim.
US pop star Lizzo expressed relief after a US district judge dismissed the remaining claims in a lawsuit against her production company. Former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels alleged she faced degradation, forced labor, medical neglect, sexual and racial harassment while working for Big Grrrl Big Touring in 2023. Judge Fernando L Aenlle-Rocha ruled on the claims on Tuesday.
In her Instagram post, Lizzo said she was relieved at the outcome and would continue fighting every claim against her and her company. The judge dismissed the case as Daniels had not identified any conduct by company employees demonstrating general hostility towards women in the workplace or disparate treatment of men and women.
The incidents, while inappropriate, were deemed outside the protection of the ordinary workplace tribulations by the Supreme Court. Daniels' lawyer Ron Zambrano expressed disappointment with the ruling, stating they believe evidence should have been evaluated by a jury. Lizzo's lawsuit, filed in September 2023, follows another one by three of her former tour dancers which are denied by her team. Allegations of fat-shaming from the same lawsuit were dismissed in 2025.
