Singer Jason Derulo has joined Steve Harvey and former Vice President Mike Pence who say they will never be alone in a room with women ever.
In a new episode of “In Depth with Graham Bensinger,” Jason discussed the accusations made against him by aspiring singer Emaza Gibson.
In October 2023, aspiring singer Emaza filed a lawsuit against Jason alleging s*xual harassment, intimidation, and breach of contract.
According to the lawsuit, Jason signed Emaza to a recording contract with his independent record label. He acted as her “mentor, supervisor, [and] agent” and they recorded music together.
Emaza claims Jason, 36, was prone to angry outbursts, and that he repeatedly pressured her to drink and have s*x with him, but she refused.
Without any evidence to support her claims, a judge dismissed her case twice.
Now the “Whatcha Say” singer says he is done working alone with women.
“There’s truth in every joke. But it’s a sad truth,” Jason said “Like, I will never be alone in a room with a woman that I work with… ever, ever again.”
“That case was dismissed twice in 2 different states,” he added, “and there’s hardly no mention of it online… And I lost so many brand deals, relationships off of a story that was not even slightly believable.”
He says the lawsuit caused millions in lost revenue and harmed his career and reputation.
Jason also denied Emaza’s claim that he “sacrificed a goat in a s*xual ritual.”
“All people read was the headline, right? And that’s all it takes to lose everything. That’s a crazy concept. I lost millions of dollars off of a arbitrary story that some woman told. Like a crazy, crazy story that some woman told. So with that being said, how can I be comfortable being in a room with a woman that I work with and not feel like she can just say whatever she wants? It’s not worth it to me.”
One woman Jason doesn’t mind working alone with is his collaborator, Nora Fatehi.
In January, Jason and the Bollywood star dropped a song titled “Snake”.
“I learned a lot from him on set,” Nora says of Jason. “He’s been doing this for over 15 years, and still has the work ethic and seriousness on set to perfect every detail. I was very inspired.”
Jason and ex-girlfriend Jena Frumes share a son named Jason King Derulo.
He says the 4-year-old previews his music before he releases to make sure they “keep it real.”
