Justin Bieber denies accusations of sexual assault by two women

Justin Bieber has been accused of sexual assault by two women, with accounts dating back to 2014 and 2015 respectively surfacing on social media over the last few weeks.

A woman identified as Danielle posted to Twitter on June 20, detailing her alleged assault with the musician.

She claims she had met Bieber at an Austin music event in March 2014:

“My friends and I were enjoying ourselves the entire night,” Danielle wrote.

“A man then approached me and my friends and asked us if we wanted to meet Justin. Of course we said yes.”

The pop star spent time with the group, and later invited them to accompany him back to his room at the Four Seasons hotel.

“Justin had made me agree to not say anything to anyone, or I can get in serious legal trouble,” Danielle explained.

“He then asked me to join him in bed. That’s when I asked myself, How in the world is this normal?”

Danielle claims that Bieber sexually assaulted her after they consensually kissed, despite her objecting to “going too far” with him.

“My body felt unconscious,” Danielle, who was 21-years-old at the time, said. “I don’t want to go into detail about what happened next.”

A spokesperson for Bieber - Allison Kaye - refuted the claims in a comment to PopCrave.

She said that Bieber was staying in an Airbnb rather than the Four Seasons on the night in question, and stayed at a different Austin hotel the next day.

“I’m sorry it took so long to respond,” Kaye added, “but we wanted to be respectful and address it with real info.”

A second woman named Kadi later accused Bieber of assault, claiming that Bieber’s bodyguard invited her up to his hotel room after a New York City meet-and-greet in May 2015, where several people were present.

The musician locked Kadi and himself in a bathroom after consensual kissing and began caressing her body.

“I asked him to stop,” she claims, “and continued to say that I cannot have sex with anyone prior to marriage.”

Bieber allegedly sexually assaulted her on his bed, but Kadi was able to push and kick him “between his legs and run out to the living room.”

The woman also mentioned that she had to seek mental health treatment and attend rehabilitation after the assault.

However, since Kadi posted on Twitter, several contradicting tweets have resurfaced from her account.

Bieber denied the allegations in a statement last night/

"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 wrote on Twitter.

"Rumours are rumours but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly," he continued.

"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."

"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," said Bieber.

"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 girlfriend Selena Gomez."

Bieber posted links to news articles, as well social media photos and screenshots of emails and lodging receipts, from the time period in question.

He said he did not stay at the Four Seasons, the location of the alleged incident, but spent the night of March 9, 2014, at an Airbnb and March 10, 2014, at the Westin.
