Jason Derulo Sued For Sexual Harassment By Singer Emaza Gibson

Singer Jason Derulo has been accused by a onetime musical protege of pressuring her to have sex with him and firing her when she refused to comply. Emaza Gibson has sued the singer, alleging that he signed her to his label, Future History, in 2021 as he planned to make a mixtape and album. However, she claims, he demanded “sexual acts” from her and suggested doing cocaine. Gibson has filed this lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

In the lawsuit, she said: “This explicit demand for sex-in-exchange-for-success was reinforced through Derulo’s subsequent behavior,” which included aggression, yelling and a lack of professional opportunities after Gibson rejected his advances.

Gibson’s attorney, Ron Zambrano, issued a press release, saying: “Mr. Derulo’s behavior toward this young artist was despicable, and, unfortunately, another example of the music industry’s dark underbelly. He not only broke promises and breached contracts, but his threats of physical harm and unconscionable sexual advances toward this young woman who is just trying to break into the industry were outrageous and illegal.”

Atlantic Records and RCA Records are among the defendants in the lawsuit, as they worked with Gibson and Future History.

“Executives knew of Derulo’s behavior without a care,” Zambrano added. He added that no one should have to face this kind of treatment by their employer, “and in this case, by someone who preyed on the plaintiff’s vulnerabilities and desire to succeed, then just threw her away like garbage when he didn’t get his way.”
