Lizzo has won a victory in her legal battle against her former stylist, who claims she was subjected to racial and sexual harassment – claims denied by the rapper and singer.
BBC News reports that the Grammy winner won a key ruling Monday when a Los Angeles federal judge ruled that wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels could not sue Lizzo as an individual, after identifying the singer’s touring and payroll companies as her employers. Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc remains a defendant in the ongoing suit.
The website adds that the judge also granted a partial motion to dismiss several of the claims made by Daniels, due to jurisdictional restrictions.
In a statement at the time, Lizzo denied all the allegations, lying: “These sensationalised stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behaviour on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”
