AceShowbiz - In a major development, Trey Songz has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed by an anonymous woman, Jane Joe, who accused him of sexual assault in 2016. The incident allegedly took place at a house party after they met at a nightclub in Los Angeles. Atlantic Records, Trey Songz's manager Kevin Lilies, and 300 Entertainment were also named as defendants in the suit.
The details of the settlement, including the amount, have not been disclosed. However, it was reported that Jane Joe initially sought $25 million for the mental and emotional distress she experienced as a result of the alleged assault. A scheduled court hearing for September was vacated due to the settlement.
According to legal documents, the settlement agreement is contingent upon Trey Songz satisfactorily completing specified terms within 45 days. A request for dismissal is expected to be filed by June 10. It remains unclear whether Trey Songz admitted guilt as part of the settlement, but he has previously denied the allegations on social media.
This is not the first time Trey Songz has faced allegations of sexual assault. In 2023, Winter Blanco came forward on the podcast "Behind the Likes" to accuse him of assaulting her in 2018. Blanco revealed that she chose to remain silent due to her career aspirations.
The settlement of this lawsuit is a significant development in the ongoing allegations against Trey Songz. It remains to be seen whether it will have any impact on his career or other potential legal actions.
