IIn 2023, Lizzo‘s fanbase was upended when former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels dropped a “bomb” about the flute-playing, innovative rapper. Daniels accused the Grammy winner, her touring company Big Grrrl Touring, Daniels’ boss Amanda Nomura, and her tour manager Carlina Gugliotta of several heinous offenses involving both racist and fat-phobic remarks, as well as being denied medical care. On Tuesday, September 1, Lizzo made the announcement on Instagram that she officially won the case against Daniels.
View this post on Instagram“Today I am relieved to announce that I have won the case against me and my company Big Grrrl Touring,” she wrote in a caption over her self-shot video. “All the ridiculous claims by a wardrobe assistant who worked on tour for less than 3 weeks (including a claim they broke an acrylic nail) have been dismissed. It was all so shocking because I was being sued by someone who admittedly never met me.”
“I prayed for the truth to come out, and thanks to my incredible lawyers, the truth has prevailed,” she continued. “The truth matters more to me than anything, and I told y’all I will not settle and will continue to fight until every vicious claim that has been made against me and my businesses.”
Followers were largely elated to hear the news and sent her supportive comments.
“What’s done in the dark will always come to light,” wrote one fan. “One day these low vibrational souls will learn to leave the light alone.”
“Now let the apologies be as loud as the disrespect,” stated another.
“People don’t know how emotionally and financially taxing it is to keep going and NOT settle. Kudos,” added another.

The Details of Lizzo’s Case and What Lies Ahead
In court documents obtained by People, the outlet confirmed that Judge Aenlle-Rocha officially dismissed the case. In the ruling, the judge wrote that the plaintiff (Daniels) “did not identify any conduct” that would “demonstrate general hostility to women in the workplace or disparate treatment of men and women.”
“This alleged conduct and these alleged incidents, while inappropriate and unprofessional, fall within the scope of what the Supreme Court has held to be outside the protection of Title VII, part of the ordinary tribulations of the workplace,” the judge wrote.
She added that there was also no evidence Nomura used racial slurs at work. Of course, Daniels and her attorney, Ron Zambrano, disapproved of the ruling.
“We are disappointed by the Court’s ruling,” Zambrano shared in a statement with People. “While we respect the Court and the judicial process, we believe the decision improperly weighed evidence that should have been evaluated by a jury. In our view, the ruling appears to minimize evidence of a sexually charged work environment by assessing incidents too narrowly (i.e., pictures of penises and sexually charged comments by managers), rather than considering their cumulative impact.”
Zambrano is referring to the open case Lizzo’s backup dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez brought against her. The three performers are suing her for sexual harassment and assault, alleging that the singer pressured them into touching nude performers at a club in Amsterdam and subjected them to “weight shaming.”
While this moment is a pivotal win in Lizzo’s multi-year legal saga, she still has miles to go with the ongoing court battles ahead.
