Singer, songwriter and actor Trey Songz unleashed a volley of tweets on August 19 after two OnlyFans models, Celina Powell and her friend Aliza, accused him of sexual assault and confinement. In a series of tweets, the R&B singer coupled a few of his own statements with screencaps from text message and chat conversations to further illustrate his points.Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Aldon Neverson, denied the allegations and suggested that the women were lying to "destroy" him at the expense of women who actually suffered abuse. He said in one tweet, “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.” He added in another tweet, "None of that happened." aThe singer also tweeted a screencap of an Instagram DM conversation with a different woman stating that she’s being subpoenaed in a battery and sexual assault lawsuit against Songz. In the messages, she recounts a night partying with Songz and claims "Jane Doe" is lying about the assault. “Y’all remember Jane Doe claimed I sexually assaulted her in Miami?,” Songz wrote. “She wants me to pay for her therapy and the rest of her school cause of ‘all the trauma she’s been through.’”Other tweets containing screenshots of text conversations with different women were posted Wednesday morning without censoring the women’s phone numbers, in what could be construed as an attempt to doxx the women (i.e. sharing personal information online for anyone to view, usually leading to victims being harassed or stalked). We have chosen not to include those tweets here.These posts come on the heels of claims made by Powell and Aliza, who spoke on the No Jumper podcast on August 17. Both women said they were sexually assaulted and forcibly confined by Songz.“He took my phone and my purse away for like the whole day, held it over the balcony, and he was like, ‘B***h, if you’re trying to leave, I’m gonna drop this s**t,’” Aliza said.“He did the same thing to her,” she continued, in reference to Powell. “I kept asking like, ‘When can I leave, what time is it?’ And he just like wouldn’t answer, he would just f**king ignore me. And I’m like, ‘Okay.’ And then he was like, ‘You can leave when I go to my flight,’ and I was like, ‘’Kay, when’s that?’ Wouldn’t tell me.”Aliza also claimed in the interview that Songz urinated on her without her consent during sex.[video_embed id='1920646']RELATED: ‘The Social’ hosts react to Harvey Weinstein’s sentence[/video_embed]Powell responded to Songz's tweets shortly after, also on Twitter, reiterating her own story and sharing correspondence with other women making accusations against the singer. In a thread, she explained that she called the police last April when Songz held her and another girl in his apartment but dropped the charges after he threatened her safety. She also shared a photo of a police citation dated April 6, 2019.This isn’t the first time Trey Songz has been accused of sexual assault and intimidation. In 2017, Keke Palmer said she planned legal action against Songz for sexually intimidating her to be in his music video for “Pick up the Phone” without her consent.“I clearly said no and you said okay, yet I was being secretly filmed when you told me ‘let me just show you the idea’?? Wow,” she posted on Instagram at the time. “People have to listen to women and stop questioning them and their intelligence. Speak up, cause when you look someone in the face and they say ‘I understand. You don’t have to feel pressured to do the video’ and they STILL put you in it, it is a violation.”In 2018, Songz turned himself in to the LAPD for felony domestic violence charges. He was arrested for the beating of Andrea Buera who claimed that he grew violent at the sight of her talking to another man. At the time, he tweeted a similar statement, saying that the accuser was simply coming forward for personal gain.[video_embed id='2017309']BEFORE YOU GO: Prosecutors announce indictments against two men in 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay [/video_embed]
