Justin Bieber has responded to an allegation of sexual assault. On June 20, a woman identified as Danielle tweeted a lengthy statement detailing an alleged incident that occurred in March 2014 in Austin, Texas. Her Twitter account has since been removed. A second woman identified as Kadi, detailed her account via Twitter following Danielle’s post. Kadi wrote that the alleged incident took place in May 2015 in New York City. 

In her statement, Danielle claimed that she attended a small event in Austin hosted by Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun on March 9, 2014. “A man then approached me and my friends and asked us if we would like to wait after the show to meet Justin.” Danielle wrote, “Fast forward to arriving at the hotel. Justin’s friend brought my 2 friends to a room, and then he took me to another room. Justin had made me agree not to say anything to anyone, or I can get in serious legal trouble. He asked for my phone and put it to charge.” According to Danielle, Bieber “asked her to join him in bed.” 

Today, Justin Bieber seemingly addressed Danielle’s allegations in multiple tweets. “In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four seasons hotel,” Bieber wrote. “I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location.” Bieber then shared numerous receipts and photos, describing his alleged whereabouts around the time of the alleged assault. Bieber closed his thread, “Every claim of sexual abuse should be taken very seriously and this is why my response was needed. However this story is factually impossible and that is why I will be working with twitter and authorities to take legal action.” Justin Bieber dismisses sexual assault allegations by providing proof of being with Selena Gomez, plans to take legal action.
