Nelly was arrested for rape and released without charges on Saturday. Since his release, TMZ published a detailed report of the accuser’s claims:
We’ve learned the 21-year-old Seattle resident claims she met Nelly at a club in Washington, where she and her friends drank at his table and got “tipsy.”
She says she was invited to an after-party and drove off with Nelly’s people. The woman says she was taken to Nelly’s tour bus.
She says she was in Nelly’s room with him when he tried to have sex with her and she said no. She claims Nelly told her to “shut up” and said he wanted to have sex with her without protection, which she says he did over her objections.
The woman says, afterward, Nelly offered her money, but she declined, and then a woman came up and said, “You gotta go.” She kicked her off the bus and threw $100 at her.
Nelly claims his innocence though. He tweeted:
Let me say that I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation. I am completely innocent. I am confident that once the facts are looked at , it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation.
I do want to apologize to my loved ones for the embarrassment and for putting myself in a situation where I could be victimized by this false and defaming allegation.
I also want to thank my fans for their unwavering support. They know me. I assure you I will be vindicated. And I assure you, I will pursue every legal option to address this defaming claim. Thank you
In other words y’all know damm well I ain’t do no dumm S^*t like this..!! Love ..!!!!
His lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, told TMZ: “It does not surprise me that she wanted to have her story publicized. That is playbook 101 of a person with an agenda and clearly she has one. The agenda is money, fame and notoriety.” He also added, “we will be able to show by objective evidence and unbiased witnesses that she has zero credibility.”
