Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has been accused by two women of sexual misconduct on Twitter. One of the females named Danielle came forward and wrote her statement on Twitter where she accused that the singer sexually assaulted her on March 9, 2014. She revealed that she met Justin at an event held at Banger's Sausage House and Beer Gardens in Austin, Texas. Danielle also stated that she had joined Justin at Four Seasons Hotel and accused that he 'sexually assaulted without consent'.
However, Bieber's team denied the reports and wrote that its 'factually impossible' as Justin stayed at Airbnb on that night and not at Four Seasons Hotel. This was written by Allison Kaye, the president of Scooter Braun's SB Projects on an Instagram DM to a fan page of Justin.
Danielle, however, deleted her post, but the alleged revelations instantly went viral on the Internet. Check it out below:
Soon after that, another woman named Kadi came forward and wrote, "I believe Danielle, I am a victim of sexual assault by Justin Bieber too". She alleged that the incident took place in 2015 and the singer's bodyguard Mikey invited her to Langham Hotel in New York City.
She further wrote, "He started kissing me, touching my body and caressing me. I asked him to stop and continued to say that I cannot have sex with anyone prior to marriage (traditional cultural thing) So Bieber started pushing me to the bed and have his body against mine."
Kadi also shared screenshots of her conversation with the bodyguard and also wrote, "He pinned me down, pulled my leggings down, and his shorts and penetrated me (which is considered a very bad thing unless by the husband.) It aggravated me and I pushed him and kicked him between the legs and run out the living room."
Take a look at her accusations below:
Now, finally, Justin addressed these accusations with a series of tweets and proof to deny the same. He tweeted, "I don’t normally address things as I have dealt with random accusations my entire career but after talking with my wife and team I have decided to speak up on an issue tonight."
Bieber further tweeted, "Rumors are rumours but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly. I wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily I wanted to make sure I gathered the facts before I made any statement."
He addressed it by mentioning that he was never at Four Seasons Hotel and claimed he was with Selena. Justin's tweets read as - "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. 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."
"As her story told I did surprise a crowd in Austin at SXSW where I appeared on stage with my then assistant side stage and sang a few songs. What this person did not know was that I attended that show with my then GF Selena Gomez."
Justin shared further proof which includes news articles, fan photos and also hotel bills of them staying at Airbnb. Here's everything in detail below:

The other reason this story might say I was staying at the four seasons was because a tweet from 2014 on March 10th not the the 9th says they saw me there . This is that tweet pic.twitter.com/piTHxjajvi

However I never stayed at the four seasons on the 9th or the 10th. This person put another tweet up earlier saying they saw me at the restaurant the following night not the hotel pic.twitter.com/K4WHNRlC6k

Furthermore I stayed with Selena and our friends at an airbnb on the 9th and on the 10th stayed at a Westin because our hotel reservation at LÀ Quinta and not the four seasons was messed up. Here are the receipts for the hotel on the 10th pic.twitter.com/hLNHnvJ6XS

We have also confirmed with the Four Seasons regional manager that I was never on property on the 9th of March 2014 and never a guest on the 9th or the 10th and I welcome all press to inquire with them if needed or wanted.

The Pics I showed of me and Selena march 9 in Austin should make it clear that we were together that night and went from the venue to our Airbnb and never went to the four seasons. This is our airbnb receipt where we crashed with our friends pic.twitter.com/4ZDIqjeCIQ

On march 10th selena left for work and I stayed at the Westin as the receipts clearly showed with my friends nick and john before I left town. Once again not at the four seasons. We booked it for a couple days to stay for the defjam show but I bailed on the 11th to head back home pic.twitter.com/Ku15SCYz91

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.
