Jason Derulo<\/a><\/strong> has been accused of sexual assault by a female artiste who was allegedly dropped from his record label.<\/p>\n

Emaza Gibson<\/strong>, a new singer, claimed Derulo sexually harassed her and dropped her from his record label Future History after she rejected his advances.<\/p>\n

According to Los Angeles County court documents<\/a> filed yesterday, Derulo allegedly forced her to drink and sleep with him even though she refused to.<\/p>\n

Gibson is suing for sexual harassment, failure to prevent and\/or remedy harassment, retaliation, intimidation and violence, and breach of contract.<\/p>\n

She is requesting damages for unpaid wages, loss of earnings and deferred compensation, and general damages for emotional distress among others.<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, Derulo contacted Gibson in August 2021 to sign her into Future History and its joint venture label, Atlantic.<\/p>\n

She believed that Derulo would serve as her \u2018mentor, supervisor, and agent for Atlantic and Future,\u2019 allegedly starting work on her debut album in November of that year, keeping regular texts with Derulo to arrange recording sessions.<\/p>\n

However, Gibson claimed that Derulo continuously invited her for drinks and dinners, which she turned down \u2018repeatedly\u2019 to keep their relationship professional.<\/p>\n

During a meeting in New York with Atlantic executives, Gibson claimed to have met another female artist who told her she was there because Derulo wanted to have sex with her.<\/p>\n

When Gibson confronted Derulo about it, he allegedly lost his temper, questioning her in an outburst while beating his chair\u2019s armrest.<\/p>\n

The incident reportedly scared Gibson, causing her to insist that her mother, who is also her manager, be with her at recording sessions and meetings with Derulo out of fear for her safety.<\/p>\n

Derulo and Gibson did not meet again until June 2, 2022, when she asked him about the budget for her recording sessions.<\/p>\n

Gibson claimed that Derulo insulted her and ignored her questions but agreed to arrange a recording session about a week later.<\/p>\n

That day, Gibson and her mother reportedly arrived an hour late due to heavy traffic. Derulo allegedly \u201cimmediately charged\u201d and \u201clunged at her,\u201d making her fearfully retreat before running to the toilet in tears.<\/p>\n

Derulo\u2019s manager, Frank Harris, allegedly defended him when Gibson complained to him about her mentor\u2019s behavior and said \u2018he (Derulo) had the right to yell at her.\u2019<\/p>\n

After Derulo didn\u2019t respond to Gibson\u2019s texts to arrange another recording session, she was told that her \u2018employment\u2019 with Future History and Atlantic had ended.<\/p>\n

She claimed that even after speaking to Atlantic execs and Future History\u2019s human resource department, no one has responded to her till today.<\/p>\n

Gibson claimed she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after her experiences, needing medical care for \u2018breakdowns, weight loss, insomnia, and hopelessness\u2019 among others.<\/p>\n

Jason is now responding to the allegations through a video statement posted to his Instagram account.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t normally comment but these claims are completely false and hurtful. I stand against all forms of harassment and I remain supportive of anybody following their dreams. I\u2019ve always strived to live my life in a positively impactful way, and that\u2019s why I sit here before you deeply offended, by these defamatory claims. God bless,\u201d he said in the video.<\/p>\n
