Trey Songz is being sued for $25 million after being accused of sexual assault in 2016.
The suit, obtained by Rolling Stone on Thursday, is related to a previously-dismissed sexual battery lawsuit filed by Jane Doe in February 2022, in which the woman claims the singer raped her.
She claims Trey invited her to a house party in Los Angeles on March 24, 2016, and then took her upstairs for what she thought was consensual sex. Trey allegedly threw her to the ground and anally raped her at that point. She screamed in agony and tried to fight him off, but she was outmatched.
She claims that after the alleged assault, her concerned Lyft driver noticed her distress and took her to a hospital, where a sexual assault exam was performed and the police were called.
Doe’s new lawsuit also names Atlantic Records, Trey’s manager Kevin Liles, and his label 300 Entertainment as defendants, claiming that all of them “are responsible in some way” for the singer’s actions.
Trey appears to have responded amid the renewed accusations. He posted an Instagram Story on Thursday in which he called out the “lies.”
“Lies are never the truth. “Regardless of who chooses to believe such,” he wrote.
Doe originally sued Trey for $20 million, but the case was dismissed in November of last year after Trey’s team argued her claim was out of time.
In recent years, the 38-year-old singer has been accused of numerous assaults. Authorities dropped a sexual assault investigation in August following an alleged incident in a Las Vegas hotel in November 2021. He most recently turned himself into NYPD after being accused of punching two people in a bowling alley last year.
