Case against Lizzo's Big Grrl Touring company dropped by federal judge

A lawsuit against Lizzo's production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring (BGBT), has been dismissed by a U.S. federal judge after nearly three years of litigation. The case was initially filed by former wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels, who claimed she faced racial discrimination, sexual harassment, and a hostile work environment during Lizzo's European tour. The judge ruled that the alleged conduct did not meet the threshold for legal violations under Title VII, stating that such incidents are considered part of the 'ordinary tribulations of the workplace.' Additionally, the judge rejected claims that Daniels suffered long-term disabilities from an injury sustained during the tour. Lizzo celebrated the ruling on social media, calling it a victory for her and her company.
