Justin Bieber has dropped a defamation lawsuit that he filed against two women who accused him on Twitter of sexual assault in June 2020.

According to Billboard, in a filing in Los Angeles court, Bieber’s attorneys moved to voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit he filed in 2020 against Khadidja Djibrine and an unidentified “Jane Doe” defendant named only as Danielle.

The suit was dismissed with prejudice, so Bieber will not be able to refile the claim in the same court.

Bieber had sued the two women in June 2020 after they tweeted that they were assaulted by the pop star in separate incidents in 2014 and 2015. Bieber had called the allegations “malicious lies” and offered public alibis for both alleged incidents.

“It is abundantly clear that these two individuals are trying to capitalize on the climate of fear permeating the entertainment industry, Hollywood and corporate America, whereby it is open season for anyone to make any claim (no matter how vile, unsupported, and provably false) about anyone without consequence,” the star’s lawyers wrote at the time.
