Justin Bieber’s lawsuit against the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her back in 2014 will reportedly be settled in private. And one of the biggest reasons for the case being kept out of the public eye is due to the 27-year-old Canadian singer’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, acting as his alibi!
Bieber, who is now married to 25-year-old model Hailey Bieber (formerly Baldwin) sued two women for $20 million ($10 million each!) for making false claims and trying to ruin his reputation with their “fabricated lies” about him allegedly assaulting them. However, due to the 29-year-old Only Murders in the Building actress providing an alibi for one of the incidents, that lawsuit will now be worked out in private mediation.
In the first lawsuit, a woman named Jane Doe (who is known as Danielle, to make the case more confusing!) claimed that the singer sexually assaulted her at a Four Seasons hotel on March 9th in Austin, Texas, following an event that was part of the SXSW festival. However, Justin and his team were able to prove that he wasn’t at the hotel that night, as he and Sel actually stayed at an Airbnb! After a status hearing on November 3rd, judge Terry Green ruled that the case could be settled in private due to Selena's name being dragged into it.
In a separate lawsuit, another woman named Khadidja, who goes by the name of Kadi, alleged that the "Yummy" singer assaulted her at the Langham Hotel at 2am on May 5th back in 2015. And although Bieber was indeed staying at the hotel that night, he was proven to be at a Met Gala after-party until 4am, making her allegation impossible. According to Radar, Khadidja's attorney has alleged that his client's accusations are protected by the first and fourteenth amendments, so we'll have to wait and see how that case unfolds.
