Published on June 23, 2020, Justin Bieber has denied an allegation of rape made on Twitter by an anonymous account over the weekend.
Two accounts tweeted claims about incidents alleged to have happened in 2014 and 2015. The account of one anonymous accuser has been removed from Twitter, but Justin Bieber responded to it, saying: “There is no truth to this story.”
Justin Bieber also responded to allegations made by Riverdale actors, who denied accusations of a sexual offence made by other anonymous accounts.
One of the allegations was made by a woman known as Danielle, who claimed that Justin Bieber invited her and two friends to a Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Texas, after a surprise performance in front of a small crowd at a bar. She alleged that he took her to a private room where the sexual assault happened.
However, Justin Bieber denied the allegations, saying that he was with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez at the time of the alleged assault. He shared screenshots and articles from the night the alleged assault took place, which show him with Selena Gomez.
He also shared a screenshot of a tweet which claimed he was spotted at the Four Seasons restaurant on 10 March, the day after the alleged assault. That Twitter account appears to have been deleted.
Justin Bieber has also shared screenshots of emails and receipts for an AirBnB and for the Westin hotel for the dates in question. He says he was using the fake name Mike Lowery.
