Justin Bieber has refuted an allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman in 2014, providing a litany of evidence in the form of receipts, emails, social media and press reports, to back up his claims that it did not happen.
A woman posted from an anonymous Twitter account on Saturday night, claiming that the alleged assault happened at a Four Seasons hotel in Austin, Tex., on March 9, 2014 — which would have been the year Bieber made a surprise appearance at the South By Southwest music festival.

“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,” Bieber wrote on Twitter on Sunday night, referencing Hailey Bieber and his managers, Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye at SB Projects, who have represented the singer for the entirety of his career.
