Lizzo has achieved a significant legal win in the harassment case brought against her by former backup dancer and makeup artist Asha Daniels. A judge ruled that the claims against Lizzo as an individual must be dismissed, as Daniels’ allegations can only target her corporate employer, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. (BGBT), rather than Lizzo personally. This decision effectively removes Lizzo from personal liability regarding these claims.
However, her touring company, BGBT, still faces legal challenges as the lawsuit proceeds. Daniels’ allegations include claims of being subjected to grueling 20-hour workdays and enduring racist and fatphobic comments while working on Lizzo’s tour. She also claims her contract was terminated prematurely.
Lizzo has publicly denied all allegations, maintaining her stance that the claims are baseless. While this dismissal offers a degree of relief for her on an individual level, the case against her company keeps the legal spotlight on the matter.
