Judge dismisses former stylist's second lawsuit against singer Lizzo

A judge has dismissed a second lawsuit filed by former stylist Asha Daniels against singer Lizzo, ruling that the allegations cannot proceed to a jury despite describing the behavior as unprofessional. Lizzo still faces a separate, ongoing lawsuit from three former background dancers who allege sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.

A judge has dismissed a second lawsuit filed by former stylist Asha Daniels against singer Lizzo. While the court acknowledged that the singer's comments, which were perceived as racist and bodyshaming, could be considered unprofessional and inappropriate, the legal claims will not proceed to a jury trial. This ruling follows a previous dismissal in late 2024, where a judge determined that Lizzo could not be held personally liable for claims of sexual harassment and the use of offensive language.

Despite these dismissals, Lizzo continues to face ongoing legal challenges regarding her 2023 tour. A separate lawsuit brought by three former background dancers alleging sexual harassment and the creation of a hostile work environment remains active. Lizzo has consistently denied all allegations presented against her, stating that the accusations are untrue. She has expressed her intention to fight the remaining claims in court rather than pursuing a settlement, maintaining her innocence throughout the various legal proceedings initiated by her former staff members.
