Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Lizzo faces another lawsuit accusing her of bullying and discrimination
Caption: Lizzo Faces Another Lawsuit Accusing Her of Bullying and Discrimination. NBC reports that another former employee is suing Lizzo, claiming that the star allows bullying, harassment and racial discrimination behind the scenes. News of the lawsuit came on the same day that Lizzo was set to receive an award recognizing her efforts to promote social justice and inclusivity. Fashion designer Asha Daniels said that she found the actions of Lizzo and other members of the entertainer's team "totally shocking". "I was listening to this Black woman on this huge stage have this message of self-love and caring for others and being empathetic and being strong and standing up for others." "And I was witnessing myself, the dancers and the background vocalists and my local team in every city be harassed and bullied regularly." Asha Daniels, fashion designer, via NBC. Daniels' suit was filed on September 21 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The lawsuit accuses wardrobe manager Amanda Nomura of using stereotypical impressions of Black women and calling performers “fat,” “useless” and “dumb”. The lawsuit also claims that Nomura forced performers to change in front of mostly male stage crew members. According to the suit, Daniels was fired after she complained about Nomura. Last month, a similar suit was filed, accusing Lizzo of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
