Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lizzo seeks dismissal of stylist's discrimination suit: 'brazen liar'
Caption: Lizzo seeks dismissal of stylist's discrimination suit: 'brazen liar’. Her lawyers have deemed the lawsuit filed by a wardrobe assistant over alleged discrimination and wrongful termination “meritless”. They are asking that all remaining allegations should be dismissed before a trial. In a scathing new filing, Lizzo's legal team has called plaintiff Asha Daniels a "brazen liar" and "disgruntled former employee with an inflated ego” who harbours "personal vendettas" against Lizzo. In response, Daniels' lawyer, Ronald Zambrano, says he's not worried. ”We fully expected the defence to file a motion to dismiss. We also fully expect the judge to deny the motion.” Daniels first filed her lawsuit in September 2023, alleging the atmosphere on Lizzo's European tour, subjected her to "racist and fat phobic comments", sexual harassment, and disability discrimination. Daniels filed her complaint in the wake of a similar sexual harassment and hostile workplace environment lawsuit filed by three of Lizzo's former dancers. The Truth Hurts singer has denied the claims. In a ruling last year, a judge curtailed some of the dancers' lawsuit but allowed the rest to proceed. Lizzo and her lawyers are appealing that ruling. ”The hardest part about all of this is that none of these things are true," Lizzo said on the Baby This Is Keke Palmer podcast. ”The sexual harassment one is really the one that upsets me the most.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
