Justin Bieber has filed a $20 million lawsuit against two women who accused him on social media of sexual assault.
In the defamation lawsuit against the two Jane Does with the @danielleglvn and @ItsnotKadi Twitter handles, Bieber’s lawyers say the charges against him are “factually impossible, and disproven both by indisputable documentary evidence and the individuals’ own admissions.”
The suit claims that the women “fraudulently schemed to seek attention and fame by maliciously posting despicable, blatantly false, fabricated, defamatory accusations that Justin Bieber engaged in sexual assault.”
In the suit, he goes on to claim that “it is abundantly clear that these two individuals are trying to capitalize on the climate of fear permeating the entertainment industry.”
The two women on June 20 alleged that they had been sexually assaulted by Bieber between 2014-2015.
Danielle first posted on Twitter, alleging that she was sexually assaulted in March 2014 by Bieber in a Four Seasons hotel.
“Justin had made me agree to not say anything to anyone, or I can get in serious legal trouble,” said Danielle. “He then asked me to join him in bed. That’s when I asked myself, How in the world is this normal?”
On the same day, after a meet-and-greet in New York City in May 2015, the second woman known as Kadi alleged Bieber’s bodyguard, Mikey invited her up to his hotel room and Justin sexually assaulting her.
“I asked him to stop,” said Kadi in her post, “and continued to say that I cannot have sex with anyone prior to marriage.”
Bieber vehemently denied both Danielle and Kadi ‘s allegations by sharing news articles, social media photographs, email screenshots, and receipts from that time to counter the allegations made against him.
The Canadian singer also revealed that he was not staying at the Four Seasons, where one of the women claimed the alleged incident occurred. He said he and his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez spent the night of March 9, 2014 at an Airbnb, and March 10, 2014 at the Westin.
Bieber is suing both women for defamation, and $20 million in damages, according to TMZ.
