Trey Songz is being sued for grabbing and exposing a woman’s breast at a pool party in an incident the plaintiff says left her humiliated.
The lawsuit also named Trey Songz’s production company, Atlantic Records, and his manager Kevin Liles as defendants.
The suit stems from a 2013 pool party where Trey Songz was caught on camera pulling the woman’s breasts out of the bra as she struggled to hide them.
The suit claims Trey Songz, his production company and his manager were negligent in supervising their client and were “responsible in some manner” for his actions.
Meanwhile, Songz’s lawyer Michael Freedman maintained his client’s innocence in a statement provided to TMZ. He added that the lawsuit is “another example of decade-old allegations being repurposed into a federal case.”
“(They’re) taking advantage of California’s constitutionally questionable new ‘look-back window.’ We look forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court.”
The victim, Megan Johnson, sent a demand letter to Songz and his legal team last year, TMZ reported.
In the letter, Johnson’s lawyers claimed the rapper’s 2021 Vegas sexual assault case prompted Megan to seek justice for herself. (The Vegas case was dropped weeks before the demand letter was sent.)
The incident with Johnson reportedly occurred at his “Foxwoods Liquid Sundays with Trey Songz” event in August 2013.
There, the singer was filmed grabbing and pulling out the victim’s breast from her bikini top, allegedly without her consent.
Johnson’s encounter with Songz in the VIP tent was filmed. Her lawyers believe the video will be a slam dunk in terms of evidence.

Meanwhile, the victim’s lawsuit claims the defendants should have already known about Trey Songz’s “sexual proclivities” and were, in turn, responsible for his actions that day.
The victim says the incident left her humiliated and with emotional trauma. Her lawyers added she was ultimately forced to curtail her promising career several months later due to the embarrassment following the incident.
She reportedly gave Songz and his team weeks to respond to the demand letter before filing a lawsuit.
The victim is seeking at least $10 million/Ksh1.3 billion in damages, according to TMZ.
