Jason Derulo facing sexual harassment lawsuit from singer he signed

Gibson said she understood that “fish scales” referred to cocaine, but she didn’t understand “goat skin” until the internet led her to “online articles about rituals involving sex, goat sacrifices, and blood.” Gibson apparently took the comment as an “explicit demand for sex-in-exchange-for-success.”

Later, Gibson said she went to New York to meet with Atlantic executives with Derulo, but right before the meeting, he introduced her to a woman named Rosa who would be joining them. When they were alone, Gibson claims that the woman implied that she had been sleeping with Derulo, and during the Atlantic meeting, Derulo played some of her music for the record executives—which Gibson took as a message, indicating that her career was advancing because she was apparently having sex with Derulo.

Gibson’s suit says that Derulo got angry with her when she said that Rosa joining the meeting made her uncomfortable, with him allegedly saying, “What does she have to do with you!? We weren’t going to tell you anything! We don’t have to tell you anything!” Their working relationship apparently soured after that, and there was another alleged incident where Gibson arrived late to a recording session and—in front of multiple people—he angrily “charged” at her and shouted.

That was the last time she saw Derulo, and Atlantic Records reportedly told Gibson that they wanted her to succeed but that they couldn’t “say the same for Jason” (an apparent acknowledgement of his alleged behavior), she was dropped from the label.

Jason Derulo has not publicly commented on the suit or the allegations.
