I have good news and bad news for Justin Bieber fans. The good news is that mustache may no longer the worst thing he’s ever done. The bad news is that it’s because he’s been accused of sexual assault by two women.
Vulture reported the claims of the two women who both appear to have been adults at the time so Bieber is at least coming out ahead of Chris D’Elia and Jeff Ross in this news cycle.
“Justin had made me agree to not say anything to anyone, or I can get in serious legal trouble,” Danielle, who was 21 at the time, explained. “He then asked me to join him in bed. That’s when I asked myself, How in the world is this normal?” Danielle claims that Bieber sexually assaulted her after they consensually made out, even though she objected to “going too far” with him. “My body felt unconscious,” she said. “I don’t want to go into detail about what happened next.”
Bieber denies the claims in a statement from his representatives saying he wasn’t in the location she claims the assault occurred on the night in question.
Allison Kaye, a representative for Bieber, refuted the claims in a comment to PopCrave. She said that Bieber was staying in an Airbnb as opposed to the Four Seasons on the night in question, and stayed at a different Austin hotel the following evening. “I’m sorry it took so long to respond,” Kaye added, “but we wanted to be respectful and address it with real info.”
The second accusation, I’m going to say right up front, has more issues of credibility.
A woman named Kadi claims that Bieber’s bodyguard invited her up to his hotel room after a New York City meet-and-greet in May 2015, where several people, including Disney Channel star Kyle Massey, were present. Kadi made out with Bieber on a couch, but things took a turn when he locked them in a bathroom and began caressing her body. “I asked him to stop,” she claims, “and continued to say that I cannot have sex with anyone prior to marriage.” Bieber allegedly sexually assaulted her on his bed, but Kadi was able to push and kick him “between his legs and run out to the living room.” She says that she had to seek mental treatment and attend rehab after the assault.
Now, there’s no such thing as a perfect victim but tweets made by Kadi made me second guess her account, like one from a few months beforehand when she alleges the incident occurred saying she could lie about having had sex with Justin Bieber and people would believe her and one a month after the alleged assault where she says “I swear if we do it meet I’ll find you and f**k you @justinbieber.” That kind of freaks me out, honestly.
I want to believe these women. I mean, just look at Justin Bieber and tell me you think there’s no way he’s a rapist, I dare you. You can’t do it. The mustache alone.
