Lizzo’s spokesman fired back as the singer was hit with another lawsuit; this time from someone working in the tour wardrobe department.
TMZ reported that 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.”
He added, “We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.”

In the suit, according to TMZ, Daniels claimed she was sometimes made to work from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m., adding that there were times she was refused breaks, as well.
Daniels accused Nomura of calling Black women on tour “dumb,” “useless” and “fat,” as well as stating Nomura told her she wasn’t allowed to dress sexy around Lizzo because the singer would reportedly get jealous when her boyfriend was around other beautiful women.
The suit stated Nomura once rolled a clothing rack over Daniels’ ankle, making it swell up. However, when she turned up to work in Crocs, she was allegedly told to put on tennis shoes.
Daniels claimed she told Lizzo’s management team and said the singer’s tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta, suggested she film Nomura’s behaviour. However, Daniels thought that was unethical, the docs stated.
