Two women have gone public with allegations of sexual assault by Justin Bieber, but a representative for the singer has claimed that one of the alleged encounters was “factually impossible”.
On Saturday, a women who identified herself as Danielle detailed her allegation in a lengthy tweet, writing that she was assaulted by Bieber after being invited back to his Four Seasons hotel room on March 9, 2014.
“A man then approached me and my friends and asked us if we wanted to meet Justin,” Danielle wrote. The singer had just played a surprise show in Austin, Texas. She claims that she and her friends then went back to his hotel room, and she and him began consensually kissing.
She then allegedly told him to stop after he tried to remove her pants.”I told him this was going too far and we should stop because I needed to find my friends,” she wrote. It was after this that she claims Bieber “forced himself” on her and assaulted her.
A representative for Bieber, Allison Kaye, denied the claims in a message to Pop Crave. Kaye said that Bieber was staying in an Airbnb on that date, not the Four Seasons hotel, so it was “factually impossible”. However, tweets unearthed by fans from that time appear to indicate that Bieber was staying at the hotel.

A short time after this, Twitter user @ItsnotKadi also went public with an allegation of sexual assault against the singer. Kadi claims that she met Bieber in New York in May of 2015 after invited back to his hotel room by one of his bodyguards following a meet-and-greet. She claims they consensually kissed, before she asked Bieber to stop. He allegedly ignored her, and assaulted her.
Kadi claims she sought mental health treatment after the incident, and was suicidal. She also said she had “decided to go to the law enforcement” regarding the incident.
— UPDATE —
Justin Bieber has now publicly responded to Danielle’s allegation, strongly denying that the incident ever took place.
“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,” he wrote on Twitter.
“Rumours 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.”

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

This article from 2014 talks about Selena being there with me. https://t.co/Jr2AE0brY2

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

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.
