Lizzo attends the Warner Music Pre-Grammy Party at the NoMad Hotel on Feb. 7, 2019 in Los Angeles.
Tiffany Wells says she was forced to quit her job as a food courier after the pop star slammed her on Twitter.According to documents filed Friday in U.S. District Court of Central California,is suing the pop star for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false light invasion of privacy.
“As a direct result of Lizzo’s actions, Plaintiff has suffered and continues to suffer substantial damage and loss, including, but not limited to, the loss [of] future earnings, pain and suffering, emotional distress and trauma, fear of physical safety, insult, anguish, stress and anxiety, public ridicule, humiliation, indignity, damage and injury to her personal and professional reputation, and other incidental and consequential damages and expenses,” the complaint reads.
According to Wells, Lizzo’s tweet garnered a large number of retweets and comments, with some of the singer’s fans threatening physical violence against Wells. She points out that Lizzo later replied to a comment in her original tweet, stating, “the front desk told me she walked in, clocked it as delivered, then walked out with food in hand. Her phone never rang, Postmates couldn’t contact her either.
Wells claims that in the aftermath of the tweet, she “became fearful” that someone might recognize or harm her if she continued delivering food with Postmates and other services and as a result was “forced” to stop working as a courier, thereby directly affecting her ability to earn a living.
