Daniels was hired to work in wardrobe for Lizzo's 2023 tour and has claimed she endured grueling hours, sometimes working from 6 AM to 2 AM with no breaks.

This comes shortly after Lizzo announced plans to countersue some of her dancers, who accused her of sexual harassment, body-shaming, and creating a toxic workplace in a bombshell lawsuit filed in August.

According to the new legal docs obtained by TMZ, Daniels also alleged that Amanda Nomura, a member of Lizzo's team, subjected her to racist and fatphobic comments. Some of the comments allegedly included calling Black women on the tour "dumb," "useless," and "fat."

Additionally, the fashion designer claimed Nomura instructed her not to dress attractively around the 35-year-old artist, just in case Lizzo felt like her boyfriend might get jealous being around other "beautiful women."

But one instance in particilar sent Daniels over the edge, leading her to promptly alert Lizzo's management to the behavior.

At one point during the tour, Daniels said Nomura rolled a clothing rack over her ankle, which caused swelling.

Due to this, Asha decided to wear more comfortable shoes, Crocs, for which she was reprimanded and told to put on sneakers instead.

Daniels said she alerted Lizzo's management and was advised by Lizzo's tour manager, Carlina Gugliotta, to secretly film Nomura, but Daniels thought it was unethical.

She then apparently brought all of her worries and concerns to Gugliotta but was fired before her contract was set to end, leaving her with "ongoing anxiety and PTSD as well as migraines, ocular distortions, brain fog, and fatigue."

Daniels is suing for sexual harassment, racial harassment, and disability discrimination.
