Pop star Lizzo has expressed relief following a US district judge's decision to dismiss remaining allegations from a lawsuit filed against her production company. According to court documents, former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels had accused Big Grrrl Big Touring of various forms of mistreatment in 2023, including degradation, forced labor, sexual harassment, and racial harassment.
Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha ruled on Tuesday that these claims would not proceed. In an Instagram post, Lizzo stated she was "relieved" about the outcome and vowed to "continue to fight" against any other claims made against her and her company. The judge noted that Daniels did not provide evidence of systematic hostility towards women or of unfavorable treatment of men in the workplace.
Additionally, he stated that the alleged incidents, while inappropriate, did not rise to the level of a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Daniels' lawyer, Ron Zambrano, expressed disappointment with the ruling, arguing that the court improperly dismissed evidence that should have been evaluated by a jury. He also disagreed with the court's assessment of Daniels' ankle injury, stating that it did not meet the legal standard of a disability under the ADA.
Despite the dismissal, Lizzo remains committed to pursuing justice and continues to use her platform to promote positivity and light.
