Justin Bieber broke his silence and denied the sexual allegation that a woman accused her of. The "Yummy" singer stressed that the alleged assault won't happen since he was with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez at the time.
Over the weekend, a woman who identified herself as Danielle alleged that Bieber sexually assaulted her on March 9, 2014. Danielle tweeted that the incident happened in the hotel room of the singer at Four Seasons Hotel during the SXSW in Austin, Texas.
According to Danielle, she met Justin at an event hosted by Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun. She claimed that after the surprise performance in front of a small crowd at a bar, a man approached her and her friends and asked if they wanted to meet Bieber, who was then 20 and she was 21.
Danielle alleged that she and her friends joined Bieber at the Four Seasons. Her two friends were taken to a room while she was brought to another room with Justin. Danielle added she asked the singer where Gomez was and Justin told her not to worry about Selena as she will come up to the room later.
In a lengthy series of tweets, Justin admitted that he doesn't want to respond to rumors such as this but he is not taking an accusation of sexual assault lightly. Bieber said after talking to his wife, Hailey Baldwin, and his team, he decided to speak up to clear his name of the accusation.
Bieber said it is true that he attended SXSW and he was with his girlfriend at the time Selena Gomez. Justin stressed that they did not stay at the Four Seasons hotel but in an AirBnB with some friends. To back up her story, Justin also showed screenshots of reservations and receipts of his stay at an AirBnB on March 9 and at Westin on March 10.
The "Sorry" singer added that he also confirmed with the Four Seasons regional manager that he never set foot at their hotel on March 9, 2014 and was never a guest of the property on the 9th or 10th. He also urged the press to check the veracity of his claims. The "Promise" singer also vowed that he will be taking legal action against Daniella, whose tweet has already been deleted.
Aside from Danielle, another woman known as Kadi, also accused Bieber of sexually assaulting her in a New York hotel in May 2015. The singer's rep has yet to respond to this.
This is the latest allegation of sexual assault against male celebrities. A few days ago, another woman accused Ansel Elgort of sexual harassment.
The woman claimed she was only 17-year-old when the Baby Driver actor sexually assaulted her in 2014. Elgort denied the accusation, saying he had a consensual relationship with the woman at the time. The woman's tweet has been deleted since.
Riverdale actor Cole Sprouse was also accused of sexual assault along with other members of the Riverdale cast. Sprouse also denied the allegation.
