Justin Bieber Files $20 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Two Women Who Accused Him Of Sexual Assault
Canadian singer, Justin Bieber has slammed two social media users – whom he suggests to be the same person – with $20 million defamation lawsuit after they both accused him of sexually assaulting them in 2014 and 2015.
This comes few days after he vehemently denied one of the sexual assault allegations against him by producing photos and documents showing his location as at the time of the alleged assault.
According to TMZ, court documents outlining the suit, states that the singer has ‘indisputable documentary evidence’ that proves the accusations to be ‘outrageous, fabricated lies.’
The legal documents show the 26-year-old is suing both for $20million (£16m) – $10million (£8m) each.
One of the ladies who spoke out on Twitter, anonymously but using the name, Danielle, alleged she was assaulted by the singer in Austin, Texas, on March 9 2014, in Four Seasons hotel room, following his impromptu performance at a music festival.
Bieber posting documents on Twitter said he was in Austin for the said event but stayed at a rental property, Airbnb, with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez, and not the Four Seasons.
The second accuser who is also anonymous but identified as Kadi on Twitter claims Bieber assaulted her in New York City in 2015 when the singer was in town for the Met Gala.
However, his lawyers have described this as ‘an elaborate hoax’, stating that he was in New York at the time but attending a Met Gala after-party, which the court document claim can be proved by photo evidence.
The suit states that the second accuser is a superfan of the artist who often waits outside of Bieber’s hotels and other locations, seeking his attention.
According to the court filing, Kadi has admitted on her Twitter page that she wants to be famous, to be a star on a Netflix series by using Twitter in 2018.
The filing also claim that she admitted on Twitter to never having met the singer after the date of the alleged assault.
However, Justin Bieber said he believes the two accusers are working together to damage his reputation, or may even be the same person operating multiple Twitter accounts.
The ‘Baby’ crooner is seeking legal recourse against the two anonymous women.
