In the latest chapter of a closely watched legal fight, pop sensation Lizzo is pushing back hard against accusations from her former wardrobe assistant, Asha Daniels. The lawsuit, which describes a nightmarish scenario of discrimination and harassment during Lizzo’s European tour, is, of course, being fiercely contested by Lizzo’s legal adversaries, who are not mincing words in their rebuttal, though not in a James Bond kind of way.
Daniels filed her lawsuit last September and alleged that Lizzo and her team created a toxic work environment that was filled with racist, fat-phobic, sexually offensive, and sexist comments and discrimination against disabled people. These are serious accusations that could damage any artist’s career. But Lizzo’s lawyers have dismissed the claims as “meritless,” and have depicted Daniels as a “disgruntled former employee with an inflated ego” whose motivations are “personal vendettas.”

In a pointed court filing, Lizzo’s representatives described Daniels as a “brazen liar,” a sign of just how combative the defense is prepared to be. They have now filed a motion to dismiss the remaining charges, a credible indication that they will fight this lawsuit to the end.
Daniels’ attorney, Ronald Zambrano, said he wasn’t shocked by the challenge and called it “anticipated legal maneuvering.” “We knew the defense would probably file a motion to dismiss,” he said confidently. We are likewise confident that when the judge hears all the evidence in the case, he will deny the motion.” The case is far from finished, and the drama in the courtroom is sure to continue.
Three of Lizzo’s former dancers had previously filed a separate lawsuit accusing her of sexual harassment and of creating a hostile work environment on that tour. A judge later dismissed some of those claims, but allowed others to proceed, and Lizzo’s legal team is now appealing that action.
Amid the legal battles, Lizzo has denied the allegations. During an emotional discussion on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, she revealed the personal toll the situation has had on her. “The hardest part about all of this is that it’s all bullshit, none of these things are true,” she said, adding that the sexual harassment claims were the most upsetting.

For Lizzo, this isn’t just about supporting her career; it’s about pushing back against accusations that she says are untrue and damaging to her as a person.
At this time, the court has not ruled on the motion to dismiss Daniels’ case. With stakes entrenched on both sides, this saga seems inevitable to play out further, leaving fans and observers waiting to see how it all unfolds.
