Jason Derulo Responds To Sex Harassment Lawsuit: “These Claims Are Completely False & Hurtful”

“Watcha Say” singer Jason Derulo is speaking out about a lawsuit filed against him by one of his former artists alleging sexual harassment and retaliation.

“I wouldn’t normally comment but these claims are completely false and hurtful,” Derulo asserted in an Instagram post Friday. “I stand against all forms of harassment and I remain supportive of anybody following their dreams. I’ve always strived to live my life in a positively impactful way, and that’s why I sit here before you deeply offended, by these defamatory claims. God bless.” See his post below.

In the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Emaza Gibson alleges quid pro quo sexual harassment against Derulo who signed her under his Atlantic Records imprint Future History in August 2021. She claims he later went “radio silent” about her requests to schedule recording sessions after she rejected his sexual advances and his repeated invitations for dinners and drinks. He then dropped her deal in September 2022.

The complaint alleges quid pro quo sexual harassment, sexual harassment, failure to prevent and/or remedy harassment, retaliation, intimidation and violence, breach of contract and breach of good faith.

According to the complaint, after her experience with Derulo, Gibson sought “medical intervention for breakdowns, weight loss, insomnia, mood swings, hopelessness, loss of motivation, betrayal, feelings of betrayal and deception.” It also alleges she received “mental health treatment where she was diagnosed with, including, but not limited to, post-traumatic stress disorder.”

In addition to attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses, Gibson is seeking damages that cover unpaid wages, loss of earnings, emotional distress and medical expenses. Gibson is also demanding a jury trial for the case.
