Jason Derulo allegedly ‘made unwanted sexual advances’ toward aspiring singer Emaza Gibson, according to a lawsuit. She also accused the pop star of ‘aggressive’ behavior.
A Los Angeles singer is taking legal action against pop and R&B star Jason Derulo, accusing him of sexual harassment.
The “Whatcha Say” and “Savage Love” artist is at the center of a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court that alleges he “made unwanted sexual advances” toward plaintiff Emaza Gibson. The singer claims Derulo signed her to his label and took her under his wing in 2021 to make multiple albums and a mixtape.
The lawsuit also lists Derulo’s former manager Frank Harris, Atlantic Records, Future History Inc. and RCA Records as defendants.
“Mr. Derulo’s behavior toward this young artist was despicable, and, unfortunately, another example of the music industry’s dark underbelly. He not only broke promises and breached contracts, but his threats of physical harm and unconscionable sexual advances toward this young woman who is just trying to break into the industry were outrageous and illegal,” Gibson’s attorney, Ron Zambrano, said in a statement.
