Flashback to 2020, and Justin Bieber faced more than just pressure. He faced legitimate allegations of sexual assault from two women out of Instead of remaining silent, Bieber came back with a 20 million dollars defamation lawsuit.

The woman said the Yummy hitmaker attacked her in a hotel. But it turns out he wasn’t even at the hotel that night. His lawyers rejected evidence that he spent the night elsewhere with his then-girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

Not one to sit idly by, Bieber himself took to Twitter to address the chaos: “Rumors are rumors, but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly. I wanted to speak out immediately, but first I needed to gather the facts. And he did it. Along with his social media defense, Bieber’s lawyers launched a defamation suit, demanding 10 million dollars of Danielle and a second accuser, Khadidja Djibrine, who also allegedly told her story.

Djibrine’s allegation? That Bieber assaulted her in a New York hotel in 2015. Once again, Bieber wasted no time poking holes in her story. His team argued he was not near the alleged hotel, showing photos of him at the Met Gala and an after-party in New York the night Djibrine said the incident took place. product.

But the legal drama does not end there. While Danielle remained rather silent, Djibrine took matters into her own hands, literally. She represented herself in court, and after a few failed attempts at mediation, it looked like the case might go to trial. The showdown was scheduled for May 2023. That is, until Bieber decided to drop the mic…and the trial.

Last March, Bieber’s legal team requested that the case be dismissed. His lawyer, Evan Spiegel, confirmed this to the Times, saying: “Justin has decided to move forward and dismiss the defamation case filed in 2020.” We will never know if a behind-the-scenes settlement was been found.

With the trial behind him, Bieber put the legal drama behind him and continued his music. While the scandal may have caused a stir at the time, Bieber’s quick criticism and legal moves showed he wasn’t ready to let wild accusations define him. Even with the Twitter mobs on his back, he proved he could take the heat and keep his cool.

The lesson? When life throws allegations at you on Twitter, Justin Bieber returns evidence – and maybe even a 20 million dollars trial.
