A federal judge has dismissed the remaining claims in a lawsuit against Lizzo’s production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc., brought by former wardrobe stylist Asha Daniels. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha comes nearly two years after he dismissed Lizzo as an individual defendant in the case. Daniels initially filed her lawsuit in September 2023, alleging bullying, sexual and racial harassment in an “unsafe, sexually charged workplace culture.” Lizzo denied all the allegations and called the lawsuit, as well as a separate suit filed by three backup dancers in August 2023, “false” and “outrageous.” At the time of filing, her lawyers described Daniels as a “disgruntled” employee with “meritless and salacious” accusations. In his ruling, Judge Aenlle-Rocha said Daniels failed to identify conduct by company employees that would constitute “general hostility” toward women or disparate treatment between men and women at the workplace. He noted that while the alleged conduct was “inappropriate and unprofessional,” it fell outside the scope of protection under Title VII, a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The judge emphasized that such behavior is considered part of the “ordinary tribulations of the workplace” and not protected under the law. Daniels also claimed disability discrimination, citing an injury from a wardrobe manager who allegedly rolled a heavy clothing rack over her foot and pushed her. While the court acknowledged the pain she experienced, it ruled that the injuries did not meet the requirements set forth by the American Disabilities Act (ADA). In a statement, Daniels’ lawyer, Ron Zambrano, expressed disappointment with the ruling. He said the court improperly evaluated evidence that should have been considered by a jury and disagreed with the conclusion that an employee twisting her ankle and limping while working does not meet the legal standard of a disability under the ADA. Daniels’ lawsuit followed another suit by three former backup dancers who accused Lizzo of creating a hostile work environment through sexual, racial, and religious harassment. The dancers also claimed that Lizzo, an advocate for body positivity and self-love, berated a dancer for gaining weight, pressured another dancer to touch a nude performer at a club in Amsterdam, and subjected several dancers to an “excruciating” 12-hour audition after falsely accusing them of drinking while working. The fat-shaming claim was dismissed by a judge in December 2025. In a social media post celebrating that dismissal, Lizzo said she is “not settling” and will fight “every single claim until the truth comes out.” The case remains ongoing, with Lizzo expressing her commitment to continue fighting the allegations.
