Lizzo Speaks on Being ‘Surprised’ by Sexual Harassment Lawsuit: ‘None of This Was True’ and ‘I Did Nothing Wrong’

Thania Garcia Lizzo has spoken up regarding the harassment cases filed against her last year. The Grammy winner was accused by multiple people of harassment in the workplace, including claims from three of her former dancers and her former stylist.

The latter, filed last September, was recently dismissed by a California federal court judge who granted the partial motion on the basis that the former stylist, Asha Daniels, had no standing to sue Lizzo.

Daniels is still pursuing legal action against Lizzo’s touring and payroll companies. Now that Lizzo, as an individual, has been dismissed from the case, she’s free to speak about the allegations and the lawsuit in great detail. “We’re continuing to fight the other claims until they’re all dismissed — not dropped, but dismissed,” Lizzo told Keke Palmer in a new episode of the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast (Spotify). “It is a big victory.” Daniels’ lawsuit alleged that she experienced sexual and racial harassment by individuals on the singer’s management team.

She also alleged that there was a hostile work environment and overtime hours worked were unpaid. The lawsuit filed by dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez accused Lizzo of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
