Reports indicate that Lizzo has been removed from a harassment lawsuit that previously damaged her reputation, which accused her of fostering a hostile workplace during her 2023 European tour.

A federal judge in Los Angeles decided on Monday that both Lizzo and her tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta, could not be held personally liable for the seven allegations brought against them, according to Rolling Stone and the BBC.

The original lawsuit was filed by Asha Daniels, a stylist for Lizzo, who claimed to have experienced a toxic work environment filled with “racist and fatphobic” remarks and sexual harassment. The Big Grrrl Big Touring Company Inc., responsible for managing Lizzo’s tour, still faces legal action and remains a defendant as the lawsuit continues, the reports state.

In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha highlighted that the lawsuit named the touring and payroll companies as Daniels’ employers, thereby absolving Lizzo of individual liability. He also noted that some tour events happened in Europe, where U.S. employment laws do not apply, according to the publications.

YSL News has reached out to lawyers representing both Lizzo and Daniels for statements.

Daniels’ case, which was initially filed in 2023, coincided with another similar lawsuit from three backup dancers who claimed Lizzo created a toxic work environment with instances of sexual harassment and body shaming.

Previously, Lizzo denied the allegations in an Instagram post, describing the past few days as “gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.” She elaborated, saying her work ethic, morals, and respectfulness have been questioned, and her character criticized.

Responding to allegations that she questioned a dancer’s commitment based on “thinly veiled concerns about her weight,” Lizzo stated, “I understand what it means to be body-shamed daily and would never criticize or fire anyone for their weight.”

Lizzo has been a vocal advocate for body positivity, addressing themes of acceptance in her music and condemning fat-phobic rhetoric.

Her public image has suffered significantly in recent years due to concurrent lawsuits and allegations from a former documentary director claiming she was a “bully.” Nahli Allison, who alleged mistreatment during her work on a Lizzo documentary, shared on Instagram after the dancers’ lawsuit emerged that Lizzo was “arrogant, self-centered and unkind.”

In what seems like a response to a challenging year, the “Juicy” singer expressed on Instagram in April, “I’m tired of dealing with being dragged by everyone in my life and online. All I want is to create music, bring happiness to others, and make the world a little better.” Following concern from fans about her potential exit from the music scene, she clarified that she was merely expressing her frustrations.
