A federal judge in Los Angeles dismissed a 2023 lawsuit by former wardrobe designer Asha Daniels accusing Lizzo and her touring company of sexual and racial harassment and disability discrimination, ruling the alleged conduct falls outside Title VII protection as part of the ordinary tribulations of the workplace; Lizzo had previously been dismissed as an individual defendant in the case.
Federal investigators filed a lawsuit alleging The New York Times passed over a well-qualified white male candidate for a Deputy Real Estate Editor role due to race and/or sex, citing the company’s DEI goals. The Times allegedly excluded the white male from final interviews, instead hiring an external non-white female with less real estate experience, and bypassing standard interview steps. The EEOC argues this violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and rejects any DEI-based exceptions; the case (EEOC v. The New York Times Company, 1:26-cv-03704) was filed in the Southern District of New York.
