Justin Bieber is pushing back against two twitter users that accused him of sexual assault, filing a $20 million lawsuit against the anonymous duo.
The Canadian musician had warned earlier in the week that he would be initiating legal proceedings against the Twitter users known only as Danielle and Kadi.
Danielle claimed that she had met a then 20-year-old Bieber at a music event in Austin in 2015, after which he had then invited her alongside some friends to his to the Four Seasons Hotel.
After taking her to a separate room, the woman claimed, Bieber then forced himself on her. Meanwhile, Kadi tweeted that on the early morning of May 5, 2015, at “around 2:30am, I was invited … to Bieber’s hotel (Langham Hotel)” in New York City, before she was sexually assaulted.
In the court filing, Bieber’s legal representatives argued that there was no possibility the allegations could be true.
“The allegations are factually impossible, revealing and evidencing beyond any doubt that her social media post and allegations are a complete fabrication, an elaborate hoax,” the filing says. It also points out that Kadi is a Bieber “superfan, a Belieber,” who, the filing claims, is “desperate to meet him and desperate for his attention and for fame.”
According to the filing, it appeared that the sexual assault allegations against Bieber had been Pre-planned as Kadi “knew and had the details of the Danielle Tweet/post prior to its release, and had her accusation ready to also release in conjunction.”
Any pictures of Bieber with Kadi, the filing stated, would be purely a result of chance.
“Kadi, as an apparent superfan, may have waited outside his hotel at times, and like other fans, may have managed a fan photograph with him, but (if so) that is where any reality of her story ends, and her false, defamatory statements begin,” the filing says, adding that the idea that Bieber could have sexually assaulted someone on the night of the Met Gala is an “outlandish” fabrication.”
