Whoa. The ex-staffer mentioned within the submitting that she was employed by one of many Fact Hurts artist’s group members, Amanda Nomura, to work in wardrobe for a tour in 2023. And what might have appeared like a dream come true for her at first turned out to be a nightmare. Daniels claimed she had an intense schedule — working 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. with none breaks typically. Oof.
On prime of the grueling hours, she claims she needed to cope with some horrific feedback and habits behind the scenes. Asha says Amanda handled her poorly throughout the tour as she would usually make racist and fatphobic remarks, calling her “dumb,” “ineffective,” and “fats.” These are much like the claims we already heard towards Lizzo herself.

Asha additional claimed Amanda instructed her she wasn’t allowed to decorate in attractive garments round Lizzo as a result of the singer would get jealous when her boyfriend, Myke Wright, was round different ladies. Hmm, why would she suppose he was the sort to stray..?
Issues escalated to the purpose the place Daniels says Nomura really rolled a clothes rack over her ankle, inflicting an damage to it. OMG! Since her ankle was swollen from that incident, Asha wore a pair of Crocs to work afterward — which bought her reprimanded. She was compelled to put on tennis sneakers as a substitute.
Right here’s the place issues escalated…
When Asha ultimately got here ahead to Lizzo’s administration group concerning the habits from her supervisor, she claims tour supervisor Carlina Gugliotta did nothing however inform her to movie her co-worker’s actions for proof.

And once more, the Juice songstress didn’t tackle the matter. As an alternative, Asha was merely fired earlier than her contract was supposed to finish.
Ever since her tour expertise, Asha says she has been experiencing anxiousness and PTSD together with migraines, ocular distortions, mind fog, and fatigue. And now she’s asking for an unspecified quantity in damages, together with unpaid wages, lack of earnings, and extra.
Lizzo has but to publicly react to the newest lawsuit herself. Nevertheless, her spokesman, Stefan Friedman, instructed TMZ this was nothing greater than a “bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit” to sabotage her massive evening receiving the Humanitarian Award from the Black Music Motion Coalition Thursday evening:
“As Lizzo receives a Humanitarian Award tonight from the Black Music Motion Coalition for the unimaginable charitable work she has achieved to carry up all individuals, an ambulance-chasing lawyer tries to sully this honor by recruiting somebody to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, anticipate it, by no means really met and even spoke with Lizzo.

We wager Lizzo may have extra to say about all this… ultimately. However most likely not throughout a charity occasion!
