10:06 AM PT<\/strong> — Lizzo<\/strong>‘s team isn’t holding anything back. Her spokesman, Stefan Friedman<\/strong>, tell us, \u201cAs 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 honor by recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo.”<\/p>\n He continues, “We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.\u201d<\/p>\n Lizzo is back under fire for allegations tied to inappropriate working conditions on her tour … getting sued by a woman who says she was forced to hear racist and fatphobic comments from members of Lizzo’s team while working unthinkable hours.<\/p>\n According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Asha Daniels<\/strong> says she was hired by Amanda Nomura<\/strong> — a member of Lizzo’s team — to join Lizzo’s tour in 2023 to work in wardrobe. Daniels claims the work was grueling, sometimes going from 6 AM-2 AM and getting refused breaks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Daniels, a Black woman, says Nomura was brutal, often making racist and fatphobic comments — allegedly calling Black women on the tour “dumb” “useless” and “fat.”<\/p>\n Daniels also claims Nomura told her she wasn’t allowed to dress sexy around Lizzo because Lizzo would get jealous when her boyfriend was around other beautiful women.<\/p>\n During one instance, Daniels says she injured her ankle when Nomura rolled a clothing rack over it. She says her ankle became swollen, and when she wore a pair of Crocs to work she was reprimanded and told she needed to put on a pair of tennis shoes.<\/p>\n In the docs, Daniels says she alerted Lizzo’s management team to the behavior, and claims Lizzo’s tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta<\/strong>, even advised her to privately film Nomura’s conduct, but Daniels felt that would be unethical.<\/p>\n Daniels says she eventually brought all of her concerns to Gugliotta, and believes those concerns were relayed to Lizzo … but was eventually fired before her contract was set to end.<\/p>\n Daniels claims her experience on the tour has left her with ongoing anxiety and PTSD as well as migraines, ocular distortions, brain fog and fatigue.<\/p>\n Remember, Lizzo was sued<\/strong> last month for claims that included sexual harassment by 3 former employees who claimed they were forced to attend sex shows and were subjected to uncomfortable behavior and situations while working for Lizzo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We should note — Daniels is represented by Neama Rahmani<\/strong> — the same lawyer who sued Lizzo on behalf of the 3 women from the lawsuit last month.<\/p>\n Lizzo has denied those claims<\/strong>, saying in part, “My character has been criticized. Usually, I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.”<\/p>\n Daniels is suing for sexual harassment, racial harassment, disability discrimination and more. She’s asking for damages including unpaid wages, loss of earnings and others.<\/p>\n Lizzo Accusers Claim Dancers Feared Retaliation If They Didn't Do What She Wanted <\/h4>\n
