Lil Peep’s mother, Liza Womack, has sued the late rapper’s management, alleging they contributed to circumstances surrounding his death of a fentanyl and Xanax overdose in 2017, The New York Times and TMZ report. Womack claims that Peep, who was on tour when he died, had been encouraged to use drugs by managers, including in one instance when they allegedly supplied him with a bottle of pills. She also says that when Peep asked to leave the tour, managers made him stay on the road.

In an interview with The Times, Womack said, “This is something that I must do as a mother.” She added, “I feel very concerned that they not be exploited.... What [Lil Peep] had to live through is actually horrifying to me, and I’m sure he’s not the only person his age in this situation.”

Earlier this year, Rolling Stone’s David Peisner published an article titled “The Tragedy and Torment of Lil Peep” that alleged that First Access facilitated Lil Peep’s drug use. According to The Times, many of the allegations in the lawsuit align with the report.

First Access Entertainment shared the following statement in response to the lawsuit:

Lil Peep’s death from an accidental drug overdose was a terrible tragedy. However, the claim that First Access Entertainment, any of its employees, or Chase Ortega, or anyone else under our auspices was somehow responsible for, complicit in, or contributed to his death is categorically untrue. In fact, we consistently encouraged Peep to stop abusing drugs and to distance himself from the negative influence of the drug users and enablers with whom he chose to associate. It is extremely disappointing that Peep’s mother would file this meritless lawsuit, since she is well aware of the numerous efforts made by First Access and Chase Ortega to steer her son away from his concerning lifestyle choices. Unfortunately, in spite of our best efforts, he was an adult who made his own decisions and opted to follow a different, more destructive path. After comprehensively reviewing the facts, the Medical Examiner ruled that Peep’s death was accidental; likewise, the Tucson Police Department conducted a thorough investigation and concluded that his death was the result of an accidental overdose. While First Access is deeply saddened by Lil Peep’s untimely death, we will not hesitate to defend ourselves against this groundless and offensive lawsuit. We look forward to its swift dismissal.
