Trey Songz accused of shock sexual behaviour by Celina Powell's friend
The 'Slow Motion singer, 35, posted a number of tweets in response to a woman claimed he stole her phone during a sexual encounter and held her hostage.
He also denied sexually assaulting a woman in Miami during an alleged January 2018 incident which resulted in the singer being sued for $10 million at the beginning of this year.
"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," Trey wrote in his first tweet.
He then posted screenshots of a conversation he shared with Aliza, the woman who claimed he sexually intimated her, on Instagram, which appeared to show her asking him to unblock her.
"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," he wrote, adding "None of that happened".
