This all started in mid-September when Lizzo used Postmates to place a delivery order. Wells' lawsuit, which asks for unspecified damages in excess of $75,000, said that Lizzo "lacked reasonable grounds for any belief in the truth of her statements and acted negligently in failing to determine the true facts" of what had happened to her delivery. It also alleges that she "acted with actual malice and reckless disregard for the truth," when she tweeted about Wells.
The 27-year-old former courier says that she has suffered loss of earnings, pain and suffering, emotional distress and trauma, fear of physical safety, stress and anxiety, public ridicule and humiliation, and damage to her personal and professional reputation. She is asking for a jury trial.
