Lizzo Prevails in Harassment Lawsuit Dismissal

Lizzo has achieved a legal victory as a California court dismissed several claims from a harassment lawsuit filed by her former stylist, Asha Daniels. The court ruled that many allegations were not applicable under U.S. labor laws since they stemmed from Daniels' work in Europe, where such laws do not apply. Daniels had accused Lizzo of fostering a hostile work environment and claimed unpaid overtime, but the judge found no evidence of overtime work or that any claims arose from U.S. employment. Lizzo's team has characterized Daniels' allegations as unfounded and part of a publicity stunt, echoing similar claims from three of Lizzo's former backup dancers who also filed lawsuits against her. Despite the rulings, Lizzo's tour company remains a defendant in the ongoing case. The singer has reiterated her commitment to fighting the claims, asserting their falsity and her determination to clear her name.
