Justin Bieber has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman named ‘Danielle’ in 2014. In a tweet that has since been deleted, Danielle claimed on Saturday (June 20) that Justin Bieber sexually assaulted her at a hotel in Austin, Texas on March 9, 2014. She removed the tweet after Justin responded to the situation. Justin wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday night (June 21) that he does not normally address things as he has dealt with random accusations his entire career but after discussing with his wife and team he decided to speak up on the issue.
The singer said that rumours are rumours but sexual abuse is something he does not take lightly. He said that he wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily, he wanted to make sure he gathered the facts before he made his statement. Justin said that in the past 24 hours, a new Twitter post appeared that told a story of Justin being involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at a Four Seasons hotel.
He wanted to be clear that there is no truth to this story and in fact, he will soon show that he was never present at that location. Justin added that as far as Danielle’s story goes, Justin did surprise a crowd in Austin at Sxsw where he appeared on stage with his then-assistant side stage and sang a few songs. What this person did not know was that he attended the show with his then-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Justin uploaded links to news articles, including social media photos and screenshots of emails and lodging receipts from the time period in question.
Justin said that he did not stay at the Four Seasons which was the location of the alleged incident but he stayed at an Airbnb on March 9, 2014 and at the Westin at March 10, 2014. “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,” Bieber wrote.
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.

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

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
