Justin Bieber has denied the allegations of sexual assault against him, stating the claims are ‘factually impossible’.
The Yummy singer was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in March 2014 at a hotel in Austin, Texas.
However in his statement, Justin, 26, says he’s going to present evidence that he was not at the mentioned hotel but, instead, stayed at a different one.
Refuting the claims in a series of Twitter posts, Justin wrote: ‘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.
‘Rumours are rumours but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly. I wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily I wanted to make sure I gathered the facts before I made any statement.’
He went on to explain: ‘In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four seasons hotel. I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location.
‘As her story told I did surprise a crowd in Austin at Sxsw where I appeared on stage with my then assistant side stage and sang a few songs.’
Justin, who is married to Hailey Baldwin, then revealed he was actually at the concert with his then-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
He added: ‘Every claim of sexual abuse should be taken very seriously and this is why my response was needed. However this story is factually impossible and that is why I will be working with twitter and authorities to take legal action.’
Alongside the tweets, Justin presented receipts that listed the dates of his stay at the hotel.
Selena, 27, has not spoken out about Justin’s claims they were together during that time.
