Justin Bieber has decided to withdraw his $20 million lawsuit against two women who had previously accused him of sexual assault.

The lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2020, was voluntarily dropped on Friday in a Los Angeles court. According to Billboard, Bieber’s lawyer said the artist has “decided to move on.”

The filings were silent on whether Bieber and the accused had reached an agreement.

In June 2020, the Grammy winner sued two Twitter users, Danielle Glvn (@danielleglvn) and Khadidja Djibrine (@ItsnotKadi), for a total of $20 million — $10 million each — after they alleged on Twitter that he sexually abused them in 2014 and 2015.

Bieber, whose songs include Sorry, Stay, and What Do You Mean?, called the charges “outrageous lies” that were “provably fabricated” at the time.

Bieber allegedly assaulted Djibrine on March 9, 2014, after she had been invited to his hotel room in Austin, Texas. Bieber was not going down without a fight, dismissing the charges with receipts, email screenshots, and news stories that show he was with his girlfriend at the time, Selena Gomez, on the night of the alleged attack. “Rumors are rumors, but sexual abuse is something I don’t take lightly,” he wrote at the time. “I wanted to speak out right away but out of respect to so many victims who deal with these issues daily I wanted to make sure I gathered the facts before I made any statement.”

Danielle, the other young accuser, said Bieber assaulted her after inviting her to his New York City hotel room at 2:30 a.m. on May 5, 2015.

According to the entertainer’s lawsuit, Danielle was a superfan who would wait outside of his hotels and acknowledged on Twitter to never having met him on the date of the alleged attack.

Bieber, who has been married to Hailey Baldwin since 2018, also claimed in court filings that he attended a private afterparty following the Met Gala, citing photo proof.

After Bieber’s attorneys took action, Danielle was never located. According to Billboard, both the singer’s and Djibrine’s legal teams announced last month that mediation had failed to reach a compromise.

The Twitter users “fraudulently schemed to seek attention and fame by maliciously posting despicable, blatantly false, fabricated, defamatory accusations that Justin Bieber engaged in sexual assault,” according to the first defamation lawsuit.
