Because of the “shame” that also followed her, the lawyer claimed that the woman had given up her “promising career” just months after the alleged assault.
Last year, in 2022, the woman sent a “letter of request” to Trey about the incident, which took place at the 2013 Foxwoods Liquid Sundays with Trey Songz event in Connecticut.
She is seeking damages totaling $10 million and also attached video capturing the incident on camera.
However, Trey’s attorney, Michael Freedman, denounced the allegations in a statement to TMZ on Friday.
“This is yet another example of a decade-old allegation being used in a federal case to capitalize on California’s constitutionally questionable new view. We look forward to proving Trey’s case in court.”
Earlier this year, in February, Songz was hit with a $25 million lawsuit related to a previous sexual assault allegation that was dismissed after the statute of limitations expired.
The woman, who was also looked up by Jane Doe in legal documents obtained by Rolling stonewent after Trey, his record label, manager Kevin Liles and 300 Entertainment as defendants, claiming that the parties should be held accountable for his actions.

‘Lies will never be the truth. No matter who chooses to believe that, he wrote in the post that ended with the Arabic phrase “alhamdulillah,” which translates to “praise be to God” or sometimes “thank God” in English.
In support of the new charges, Doe mentioned that she is not the first person to berate the singer and rapper for violent behavior, going on to list 10 other incidents, including an attack at a bowling alley in October where he allegedly hit a man and a woman during an altercation.
The woman also told police that Neverson “dragged” her after she allegedly tried to stop him from entering a bathroom with a woman in his entourage.
Former women’s college basketball player Dylan Gonzalez accused the Heart Attack star of raping her in Las Vegas. Las Vegas police reportedly investigated the allegations, but closed the investigation in April 2022.
In another case, Neverson was sued in December 2021 in Miami for $10 million by a woman who claimed that during a New Year’s Eve party in 2018, she felt his “fingers being inserted into her vagina” without her consent. him, he has denied any allegation.
