Asha Daniels says she was subjected to racial and sexual harassment, disability discrimination and bullying from and others while working on Lizzo's tour.
Lizzo is facing another lawsuit from a former employee who alleges that the entertainer condoned a hostile work environment in which staff were subjected to harassment, discrimination and bullying. Asha Daniels, a wardrobe designer who worked on Lizzo's tour earlier this year, filed the new complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, the same day Lizzo was expected to receive the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award from the Black Music Action Coalition.
The suit alleges Nomura, who was Daniels' direct supervisor, and other members of Lizzo's team established a working environment for the dancers that was"set up to humiliate, degrade, alienate, and, in some cases, fire, the Black female performers.
In one alleged incident, Daniels says Nomura rolled a clothing rack over her foot while they were moving it together. Nomura allegedly dismissed Daniels' request"to sit down, as her foot was in serious pain" after the incident, and instead"proceeded to shove the Plaintiff into the rack of clothing, while asserting Plaintiff should not make excuses about her foot and must help NOMURA transport the clothing," according to the complaint.
