Lizzo and the new accusations of “sexual and racial harassment”

Lizzo’s legal troubles continue. The singer, after being mentioned by three of her former dancers, now will have to face another lawsuit brought by Asha Daniels, a fashion designer who, for some time in 2013, designed and curated the looks of her tour. The accusation is that of having suffered sexual and racial harassment, retaliatory dismissal and assault. The working environment, exactly as described by the members of the dance troupe, was defined as “toxic, dangerous and hyper-sexualised”. But the singer, according to the documents filed in court, is not the only guilty party: on the contrary, the main defendants are the head costume designer Amanda Nomura and the tour manager Carlina Gugliotta.

Daniels, defended by the same lawyer as the dancers, She said Nomura continually addressed fatphobic and racist comments to crew members, along with a series of insults such as “you’re stupid and useless.”. Furthermore, as a member of a work chat, she was forced to receive “explicit and disturbing images of male genitalia.” But she didn’t end up there because the designer was often forced to work up to 20 hours a day, threatened physically and verbally especially by Nomura and, finally, suddenly fired without the right reason. The interpreter of About Damn Timein the specific case of Daniels, did not adopt any of the behaviors described, but was well aware of the situation and did not act in any way to put a stop to these abuses and indeed continued to endorse them.

The designer also explained that, since this working relationship ended, she began to suffer from anxiety and post-traumatic stress. He is also a victim of “severe migraines, ocular tics, cognitive fog and fatigue.” Lizzo’s comment on the matter has not yet arrived, but one of his spokespersons stated to NBC that this is yet another attempt to “promote publicity through a fake and absurd legal action” by a person who “has never met or seen Lizzo”.
