“Oh, I’ve been so down and under pressure,” Lizzo sings in her award-winning hit song “About Damn Time,” and the Watch Out for the Big Grrrls host might be feeling the poignancy of those lyrics more than ever right now.
A year after Lizzo won Record of the Year at the 65th annual Grammys for “About Damn Time,” the singer today finds herself facing a trial on sexual harassment, discrimination and other claims from a trio of her former tour dancers. The Marty Singer-represented Lizzo and fellow defendants Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc and dance team head Shirlene Quigley came up short in their attempt to have the explosive lawsuit filed in August gutted on free speech grounds.
“It is dangerous for the court to weigh in, ham-fisted, into constitutionally protected activity,” LA Superior Court Judge Mark Epstein wrote in a ruling made public today, rejecting a large...

When Asha Daniels filed her illegal retaliatory termination, racial and sexual harassment lawsuit against Lizzo and her touring team in September, the Grammy winning singer responded by bashing the action by her former tour wardrobe designer as “a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt.” Now, the “Truth Hurts” singer and her Big Grrl Big Touring, Inc. wants a state judge to toss the matter out.
Staking their December 15-filed demurrer in LA Superior Court on Daniels having no right to utilize California laws while working for a Delaware corporation in Europe, the document from Marty Singer’s firm rips “Plaintiff, a New York resident” for her “meritless and salacious action after less than three weeks of employment by Bgbt” (bold and italics theirs).
“During her brief employment by Bgbt, Plaintiff refused to comply with instructions from her supervisors and tour management, failed to perform the work that she was assigned and, eventually, just...

Lizzo‘s legal team has filed a motion to dismiss a harassment and discrimination lawsuit made by a former “disgruntled” employee.
Back in September, the 35-year-old “Juice” singer was named in a lawsuit in a Los Angeles court by her former stylist and designer Asha Daniels, who accused Lizzo of creating “a sexualized, racially charged and illegal work environment.” She alleged that the singer doesn’t stop her management team from mistreating others who work under them.
Asha worked with Lizzo creating costumes for her dancers for her tour this year and alleged that she often worked 20-hour days without a break.
On Friday (December 15), Lizzo‘s attorney requested that the judge dismiss the lawsuit, claiming it was “meritless and salacious.”

Lizzo’s lawyers filed a motion last week rebuffing a harassment and misconduct lawsuit brought by a former employee, calling it “meritless and salacious.”
The lawsuit was brought by Asha Daniels, who worked as a wardrobe designer on Lizzo’s 2023 tour, and helped design outfits for the rapper’s “Big Grrrl” dancers. Daniels accused Lizzo and her team of racial and sexual harassment, disability discrimination, illegal retaliatory termination, and assault.

In the face of legal accusations of assault, harassment and discrimination, Lizzo’s anti-slapp (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) filing to dismiss has been met with an opposition memo that counters what it describes as an attempt to protect the singer from consequences under the label of free speech.
The anti-slapp filing arrived on Oct. 27 in addition to denials by her representation, statements from other dancers and staffers testifying to her good character, as well as pushback from Lizzo herself. The singer asked the court to dismiss the harassment lawsuit for a variety of other reasons as well.
“Can a global celebrity be forever insulated from civil liability because all their conduct is protected as free speech under the anti-slapp statute?” lawyers for Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez rhetorically ask in a new opposition filing to the Grammy winner’s attempt to have the matter tossed out of court.

(Updated with Lizzo spokesperson statement) The legal battle over assault, harassment and discrimination claims between Lizzo and a trio of former tour dancers and reality show contestants has turned into a constitutional squabble, at least for now.
“Can a global celebrity be forever insulated from civil liability because all their conduct is protected as free speech under the anti-slapp statute?” rhetorically ask lawyers for Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez in an opposition filing this week to the Grammy winner’s attempt to have the matter tossed out of court. “Defendant Lizzo asks this Court to rule in exactly that fashion. Fortunately for all victims of celebrity malfeasance, the law says otherwise.”

“I’m about to get into my feelings,” Lizzo sings in her ‘About Damn Time’ tune from 2022.
This week, the Grammy winner and recent Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award recipient made her feelings very clear about a sexual harassment, assault, discrimination and fostering a “hostile work environment” lawsuit brought against her by former tour dancers and Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls contestants.
The Marty Singer represented Lizzo wants Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez legal action from earlier this summer “dismissed in its entirety with prejudice.” In the otherwise pretty standard September 27 response filing, the Juice singer, real name Melissa Jefferson, denies “each and every allegation” against her and production company Big Grrrl touring company (read Lizzo’s legal response here).

Fashion designer Asha Daniels is speaking out against Lizzo in her first network television interview with ABC News Studios’ “Impact x Nightline.”
Daniels, who designed the wardrobe for Lizzo’s dancers on her 2023 tour, filed a lawsuit against the singer earlier this month, accusing her of creating a “sexualized, racially charged and illegal work environment.”
“I’m coming into work with someone who has physically assaulted me, with someone who’s threatened me, someone who is not allowing me to go eat when I need to eat,” Daniels told ABC News’ Janai Norman in an exclusive clip shared with TheWrap from the show that will air Thursday.
The suit also alleges that Lizzo’s management team made “racist and fatphobic comments mocking Black women,” and that Daniels was denied worker medical care and forced to “endure degrading sexual harassment.”

Wardrobe stylist Asha Daniels is speaking out about her lawsuit against Lizzo. Daniels, a professional clothing designer, designed the wardrobe for the dancers who will be on Lizzo’s 2023 tour.
In court docs obtained by Et on Thursday, Daniels is alleging that the singer — whose real name is Melissa Jefferson — condones a sexualized, racially charged and illegal work environment. The suit alleges that Lizzo allowed her management team to express racist and fatphobic comments, mock Black women, deny workers medical care and forced Daniels to endure degrading sexual harassment.
Lizzo is not the only one being sued. Her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. (Bgbt), wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura, and tour manager Carlina Gugliotta, are also named defendants.
Daniels tells Et’s Rachel Smith that she was grateful for the opportunity to work with Lizzo when her mentor presented it to her. “I thought, you know, this is an amazing opportunity.

Lizzo was one of the night’s guests of honour at the 2023 Black Music Action Coalition Gala on Thursday, where the “Truth Hurts” singer appeared to be in good spirits.
Lizzo’s appearance at the event came just hours after news broke that she is facing a new lawsuit — this time from her former wardrobe stylist, Asha Daniels.
At the star-studded gala event, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Thursday evening, Lizzo smiled bright as she chatted with other celebs in attendance and posed for photos inside the event.
The singer, who did not walk the carpet ahead of the gala, shined in an elegant black gown during the event — where she was also honoured with the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award.

Singer Lizzo amidst her ongoing controversy has been sued again, this time by her costume designer, who accused the singer of creating a hostile work environment as well as for racism and body shaming. The lawsuit, which the firm representing plaintiffs filed on September 21 in Los Angeles Superior Court, accused Lizzo and her supervisors of indulging in perverted sexual acts, racial discrimination, sexual and religious discrimination, disability discrimination, retaliation, assault, creating a hostile work environment, and abuse of power during her ‘Big Grrl Big Touring’, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
This adds up to the several allegations that the ‘Big Grrrl’ singer has already been facing from her former tour dancers, who had sued Lizzo earlier for claims of interrogating them about their weight and pressuring them to engage in sexually explicit acts at sex shows.

Lizzo has been named in yet another lawsuit alleging the Grammy winner oversaw a “hostile, sexually and racially charged” work environment. The suit was brought by Asha Daniels, a wardrobe designer who worked on Lizzo’s 2023 tour.
The suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, was brought the same day that Lizzo is set to receive the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award from the Black Music Action Coalition. It names Melissa Jefferson, professionally known as Lizzo, her production company Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. (Bgbt), her wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura and her tour manager Carlina Gugliotta.
In the suit (read it here), Daniels alleges racial and sexual harassment, disability discrimination, illegal retaliatory termination and assault, among other things.

In court docs obtained by Et on Thursday, Asha Daniels — who was hired by Amanda Nomura to join Lizzo’s 2023 tour — had filed legal docs stating she was made to work extremely long hours, forced to hear racist and fatphobic comments and more.
However, Lizzo’s spokesman, Stefan Friedman, insisted, “As Lizzo receives a Humanitarian Award tonight from the Black Music Action Coalition for the incredible charitable work she has done to lift up all people, an ambulance-chasing lawyer tries to sully this honour by recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo.”

Lizzo has been sued again for overseeing a hostile work environment, this time by a stylist who says she was subjected to a “culture of racism and bullying” while on tour with the artist.
The lawsuit, which the firm representing plaintiffs said was filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Lizzo and supervisors of Big Grrl Big Touring of sexual and racial harassment, disability discrimination, retaliation and assault. It builds upon allegations from a trio of former tour dancers suing Lizzo for claims of interrogating them about their weight and pressuring them to engage in sexually explicit acts at sex shows.
Augmenting sexual harassment claims from the dancers, Asha Daniels — who designed pieces for the dancers on tour — describes an “unsafe, sexually charged workplace culture” in which alleged misconduct was encouraged by Lizzo and wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura, according to the lawsuit.

Embattled singer Lizzo has been hit with another lawsuit, this time from the woman who designed the wardrobe for her dancers on her 2023 tour.
The suit from Asha Daniels was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. It alleges that the “Good as Hell” singer created a “sexualized, racially charged and illegal work environment.”
It further alleges that Lizzo’s management team made “racist and fatphobic comments mocking Black women,” and that Daniels was denied worker medical care and forced to “endure degrading sexual harassment.”
A Lizzo spokesperson told TheWrap on Thursday that the lawsuit is a “bogus, absurd publicity-stunt.”
In August, three dancers who were part of the singer’s retinue, filed suit, claiming they were also weight-shamed by the Emmy winner, as well as the recipients of “sexual, religious, and racial harassment.”

‘Project Runway All Stars’: Are Anthony Williams, Fabio Costa & Stanley Hudson locks for the finale?
Season six of “Project Runway All Stars” seems to have settled around three consistent favorites: Anthony Williams, Fabio Costa and Stanley Hudson. All three have won multiple design challenges, and all have had only one low score apiece after nine episodes. Does that make them locks for the finale?
Maybe not. In season five only two of the three finalists had won multiple challenges before the last episode: the eventual winner Dom Streater and third-place finisher Ken Laurence, who is back in the running this season. The runner-up that year was Kini Zamora, who had only one challenge victory, though he did get a slew of other high scores during the competition. Zamora out-lasted three designers who had multiple victories: Sam Donovan (fourth place), Emily Payne (fifth place) and Asha Daniels (sixth place).

Daniel Franco, where did you go? Not far, apparently, 'cause he's back -- again! The very first designer ever auf-ed from "Project Runway," only to be cut early in Season 2, must be hoping the third time's the charm in "Project Runway All Stars" Season 5.
Entertainment Weekly just shared the list of new "All Stars" designers, plus the guest judges, and the premiere date: Thursday, February 11 at 9 p.m. Et on Lifetime.
This cast raises some eyebrows for a few reasons. One, they included two designers from "Under the Gunn," which EW labeled "Season 12.5." (Did you ever consider that show Season 12.5?) Also, there's no one from this past summer's Season 14 -- no Kelly Dempsey, no Edmond Newton, no anyone -- and no "Junior" designers either, which they could conceivably add if they're going to consider "Under the Gunn" PR canon. (Just bad timing, perhaps, with the shooting of this season?)
