«Whatcha Say» singer Jason Derulo broke his silence after an aspiring artist alleged she was pressured to have sex with him and then was fired when she refused.
Singer Jason Derulo denied sexual harassment claims filed against him in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.
Derulo, 34, broke his silence Friday as an aspiring singer alleged that she had been pressured to have sex with him and then fired when she refused.
«I wouldn’t normally comment but these claims are completely false and hurtful,» the R&B star shared in an Instagram video, not directly naming the woman suing him.
«I stand against all forms of harassment and I remain supportive of anybody following their dreams. I’ve always strived to live my life in a positively impactful way, and that’s why I sit here before you deeply offended, by these defamatory claims. God bless.»
Fox News Digital obtained the lawsuit that was filed by 25-year-old aspiring singer Emaza Gibson.
«This explicit demand for sex-in-exchange-for-success was reinforced through DERULO’s subsequent behavior,» which included aggression, yelling, and a lack of professional opportunities after Gibson rejected his advances, the lawsuit argued.
