Postmates Driver Sues
Lizzo for Defamation .
Lizzo is being sued by a former Postmates
delivery driver, Tiffany Wells, after the “Truth
Hurts” singer falsely accused her of stealing.
The incident began in September, when Lizzo posted a photo
of Wells to the platform and tweeted Postmates saying, “this
girl Tiffany W. stole my food she lucky I don’t fight no more.”.
As a result, many of Lizzo’s fans
began threatening Wells, which
caused her to “fear someone might
harm her,” as reported by TMZ.
As it turns out, Wells had attempted to deliver
the food, but was unable to get a hold of Lizzo,
causing her to leave with the undelivered food. .
Lizzo later publicly apologized, saying, “I understand
I have a large following and that there were so many
variables that could’ve put her in danger.”.
According to her filed claim, Wells is suing Lizzo
for “libel” and “false light invasion of privacy.”.
She also feels that Lizzo
intentionally inflicted “emotional
distress,” as well as caused her to
“[fear] for her physical safety.”.
Wells is seeking compensatory and punitive
damages, as well as compensation for
legal fees and other “equitable relief.”
