Trey Songz addresses sexual misconduct allegations
The 'Bottoms Ups' singer addressed allegations levelled against him by a few women in a thread of tweets.
American singer, Trey Songz has taken to Twitter to defend himself against claims of sexual misconduct.
This comes after Aliza, an 'OnlyFans' model, brought the claims to light during a podcast called No Jumper with Adam22.

Detailing the incident, she mentioned that the singer peed on her during sex, adding, “He took my phone and my purse away for like the whole day, held it over the balcony, and he was like, ‘B**ch, if you’re trying to leave, I’m gonna drop this sh*t.”
Aliza also alleged that a similar incident occurred with her friend, Celina Powell, who is also an 'OnlyFans' model.

Addressing the claims, Trey Songz shared screenshots (which he later deleted) of conversations seemingly between him and Aliza, writing, “Y’all stay ready to believe a bird … I brush it off everytime but once you have an allegation no matter it’s true weight in validation, it’s now happened once and to some will be believable from that moment forward. None of that happened."
He further addressed more sexual misconduct claims by writing, “I usually stay quiet on this but I feel that in many ways the movement to fight for the women who actually have suffered harassment and abuse on various levels, has been hijacked by those who find it convenient for themselves to come up as they seek to destroy someone’s life."

"Y’all remember Jane Doe claimed I sexually assaulted her in Miami? She wants me to pay for her therapy and the rest of her school cause of all the trauma she’s been through,'” he added.
This was accompanied by screenshots of conversations with another woman contradicting the accuser’s story.

However, Twitter is not buying the R&B musician's story as a number of social media users have reposted videos of actress Keke Palmer's interviews where she addresses being sexually intimidated by the singer in 2017. Palmer had alleged to being forced by Trey Songz to be in his music video after the shoot randomly occurred during a party they were attending.
