.Lizzo Shoots Down ‘Truth Hurts’ Songwriting Claims With Lawsuit, Citing ‘Harassment’ (EXCLUSIVE)
The lawsuit says that the brothers “expressly withdrew any claim to ‘Truth Hurts,’ in writing” last April, that Rothman never previously made any such claim, and that Lizzo requests that the court enter a judgement stating that the Raisens, Rothman and their publisher have no ownership rights or rights to any money earned in connection with “Truth Hurts,” that it does not “infringe any copyright interest purportedly held by Defendant Rothman in any unreleased demo song,” and awards Lizzo costs...
“Although it is all too commonplace for successful artists to be subjected to these type of opportunistic claims,” the statement concludes, “it is nevertheless disappointing that Lizzo had to take this step to put an end to the Raisens’ false claims and their campaign of harassment.” “That same day, after Justin Raisen made his concession, the Raisens’ manager contacted Lizzo’s lawyer and told her that the Raisens were no longer making any claim to ‘Truth Hurts.’ Two days later, on April 4, 2019, the Raisens/Heavy Duty’s music publisher, Kobalt Music Publishing, reiterated the Raisens’ relinquishment of their purported claims.
