Lizzo Asks To Seal Docs Related To Ongoing Sexual Harassment Case

Lizzo‘s attorneys have petitioned the courts to seal documents related to the ongoing sexual harassment suit against her, claiming that failure to do so could result in a detriment to her business.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, the petition to seal the documents was filed on Thursday (December 21), stating that the “Good As Hell” singer worries that “documents, correspondence and testimony that contain sensitive, confidential information and/or proprietary business information, including employee compensation, contract negotiation, and third-party sensitive contact information” could be subjected to public scrutiny.

“These records, including portions of Declarations in support of the Motion and attached exhibits, should be ordered sealed to avoid any harm to the parties through their public disclosure,” Lizzo’ s legal representatives created in their application, according to the electrical outlet.

The court has actually not yet ruled on the application, since this writing.

This is simply the most recent turn of occasions in the ongoing legend in between Lizzo and her back-up professional dancers.

Last month, legal representatives standing for Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez submitted a resistance declaring, claiming that anti-SLAPP (Calculated Legal actions Versus Public Engagement) laws do not secure Lizzo from dealing with lawful consequences for their claims.

They created in the 19-page declaring: “Can a global celebrity be forever insulated from civil liability because all their conduct is protected as free speech under the anti-SLAPP statute? Defendant Lizzo asks this Court to rule in exactly that fashion. Fortunately for all victims of celebrity malfeasance, the law says otherwise.”

They included: “In an apparent effort to dupe this Court, Defendants either cherry-pick allegations or outright omit allegations inconvenient to their position, instead sanitizing them with euphemisms.”

Lizzo’s reps replied to the claims in a declaration to Wanderer, advising them that much of her various other workers backed her with declarations of their very own just recently.

“Last month, 18 independent witnesses stood by Lizzo’s work ethic and character,” Stefan Friedman claimed. “It is clear that since then, these plaintiff lawyers have come up with exactly zero to refute these facts.”

As formerly reported, Lizzo’s lawyers submitted an activity to reject the case in a Los Angeles court on October 27.

In the declaring, the 3 ladies taking legal action against were referred to as having “an axe to grind” that had actually revealed “a pattern of gross misconduct and failure to perform their job up to par.”

“Plaintiffs embarked on a press tour, vilifying defendants and pushing their fabricated sob story in the courts and the media,” it reviews. “That ends today.

“Instead of taking any accountability for their actions, plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against defendants out of spite and in pursuit of media attention, public sympathy, and a quick payday with minimal effort.”
