Bieber was accused of sexual assault by a woman on Twitter; the singer says he was with Selena Gomez at the time of the said assault.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber has opened up about the sexual allegations leveled against him.

However, the post by Danielle has been removed by Twitter after Bieber responded to the same through a series of tweets denying the charges. A report in this regard was also published by the Hollywood Reporter.

Bieber's Side of the Story

"In the past 24 hours, a new Twitter appeared that told a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four Seasons hotel. I want to be clear. There is no truth to this story. In fact, as I will soon show I was never present at that location," tweeted Bieber giving his side of the story.

Bieber further said that the facts mentioned in Danielle's tweet that he surprised the crowd in Austin at SXSW, and his appearance on stage with his then-assistant side stage and also singing a few songs were true.
