According to Peoples Magazine, the plaintiff, Emaza Gibson, initiated a sexual harassment lawsuit against the singer in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.

Emaza Gibson, a 25-year-old aspiring musician, asserted that her professional association with Jason concluded after she rebuffed his sexual advances.

According to Ron Zambrano, her attorney, “The threats of physical harm and unwanted sexual advances by Jason towards a young woman who is just trying to break into the industry were outrageous and illegal.”
