Trey Songz is facing new sexual assault allegations.
The “Bottoms Up” singer, real name Tremaine Neverson, is the subject of a new lawsuit in which two women claim they woke up the morning after a house party in California in 2015 to find the R&B star sexually assaulting them by performing “heinous” non-consensual sex.
In the 17-page complaint, obtained by PEOPLE, “Jane Doe A and Jane Doe B” accuse Songz of coercing them after they were “forced to drink from unsealed liquor bottles, which were unusually full” the night before.
“Trey Songz, cloaked in celebrity status, believed he could act with impunity. He’s wrong,” the complaint said. “Jane Doe A and Jane Doe B came to his residence in Bell Canyon, California on August 2, 2015, expecting a celebration. Instead, they were subjected to acts so heinous, so contrary to basic human decency, that they defy comprehension.”

In a statement to TMZ i Rolling stoneSongz’s attorney, Michael Freedman, called the lawsuit “yet another example of nearly decades-old allegations being repurposed to take advantage of California’s constitutionally questionable new look-back window.”
“We look forward to vindicating Trey in court,” he wrote.
A representative for Songz did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Saturday.

This isn’t the first sexual assault accusation Songz has faced. He was accused in a $20 million lawsuit in February of raping a woman at a party in 2016 and leaving her with “brutal” injuries (allegations his rep previously told TMZ were “false”); dismissed sexual misconduct charges in 2020 after a woman claimed he took her phone and purse and wouldn’t let her leave a hotel room; and in April he was acquitted of a sexual assault investigation in Las Vegas. In addition, Keke Palmer claimed in 2017 that Songz used “sexual intimidation” to get her to appear in a music video.
As for the new allegations, the two women claim Songz invited them to a house party in August 2015, where they were asked to “give up their cell phones.” At the party, which they claimed was “noticeably female-oriented,” the filing claims Songz had “aggressive outbursts over trivial matters” and that he and his “male associates did not drink alcohol,” despite the presence of women faced “intense intimidation” if they refused.
The complaint alleges that Songza’s “hostility peaked” when the women refused to participate in a “twerking contest” for a prize and “unleashed a barrage of verbal abuse, pelting selected women with bottles and demanding, with threatening sharpness, that they dance because he ordered them to are dancing.”

After the security guard allegedly confiscated the phone from one of the plaintiffs, the women felt an “overwhelming and disproportionate sense of intoxication” after drinking a “modest” amount of alcohol. “This alarming vulnerability led plaintiffs to believe that defendant Songz secretly drugged them, most likely in unsealed bottles of alcohol served to them,” the filing said.
Songz is then accused of escorting the women upstairs to a room inside the house, before one of the women woke up naked the next morning as Songz “engaged in non-consensual oral sex with her” despite her resistance. The second plaintiff woke up to Songz “biting her breast and pushing his fingers into her vagina,” according to the lawsuit. The women also claim that Songz yelled at them after they refused to join him in the shower, “You little fucking girls; get out of my house,” the filing states.
“The emotional and personal toll on plaintiffs has been and continues to be enormous,” the lawsuit states. “Through this action, we will shed light on their ordeal, ensure that such acts never happen again, and ensure justice for two lives forever changed. This is not just a lawsuit; it is a reckoning.”
