A designer who worked on the tour's wardrobe is the latest former employee to sue Lizzo, whose spokesperson described the suit as a publicity stunt.
A wardrobe designer who briefly worked for Lizzo’s tour is the latest former employee to sue the artist, accusing her of allowing a work culture to thrive behind the scenes that condoned racist and fatphobic bullying.
Daniels’ disappointment with the job began when Nomura told her that she would have no direct contact with Lizzo because the artist would be “jealous,” telling her to “tone it down” and not dress attractively, the suit says. The lawsuit also accuses Nomura of making threats on multiple occasions, including saying she would “kill a bitch” and “stab a bitch” when she could not find her medication. She allegedly shoved a crew member for threatening to quit and snatched food out of a worker’s hand for attempting to take an assigned break.
“It’s not lost on me that I’m one of the only Black women working behind the scenes and I feel like [NOMURA] is treating me like I’m a slave,” Daniels told Gugliotta, according to the lawsuit.
