Lizzo is most likely feelin' good as hell after a California federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against her by two songwriters who say they helped create 'Truth Hurts.'
U.S. District Court Dolly M. Gee on Friday granted Lizzo's motion to dismiss the brothers' counterclaims, agreeing with the artist that a "joint author of one copyrightable work does not automatically gain ownership of a derivative work."
"Without deciding who, in fact, authored the songs at issue, and without reviewing the songs’ recordings or lyrics, the Court can determine that Counterclaimants allege that the parties collaborated on, and finalized, one song — Healthy — before Lizzo allegedly copied portions of that song to make Truth Hurts," writes Gee.
But Gee is allowing the Raisens leave to amend, finding that a section of their opposition to Lizzo's suit indicates "they now intend to allege that their collaboration with Lizzo in creating Healthy was part and parcel of the creative process that led to a single finished work, Truth Hurts.
She also struck several of the writers' affirmative defenses to Lizzo's suit, finding them either boilerplate or irrelevant to the claims at issue.
