Jessi, the well-known K-pop rapper and entertainer, is facing new allegations involving an assault incident that reportedly took place at a club in Itaewon, Seoul. The claim comes after a victim, who had remained silent for years, stepped forward to share her experience, stating that the attack occurred back in 2013.
Details of the 2013 Incident
On October 17, JTBC, a South Korean news network, aired an interview with the alleged victim, who recounted her side of the story. According to her, she encountered Jessi and her group of friends inside a restroom at a club in Itaewon. She claims that the interaction quickly escalated into a violent assault without provocation.
The victim described the events, saying:
“I ran into Jessi and three of her friends in the restroom. I motioned for them to go in first, but then they started a confrontation and hit me for no reason. Jessi and her friends hit me and even attempted to put my face in the toilet. She then took my bag and told me she’d return it if I got on my knees to apologize.”
Jessi’s Response to the Accusations
Back in 2013, Jessi reportedly provided a different account of the events. According to the rapper, the fight was initiated by the victim, and she intervened in an attempt to break up the altercation. At the time, the victim had filed charges against Jessi but eventually decided to drop the lawsuit.
The victim, during her recent interview, expressed frustration, noting that Jessi’s defense strategy remains similar to the one used during the 2013 incident. The victim also mentioned that Jessi claimed one of her friends involved in the assault had left the country, making it difficult to pursue further legal action at that time.
“Jessi also claimed at that time that the assailant had left the country. Her defense now is the same as it was back then,” the victim stated during the JTBC broadcast.
Jessi’s Current Situation Under Scrutiny
These new allegations come at a difficult time for Jessi, as she is currently under international scrutiny for a separate assault case involving her entourage. In that incident, a fan claimed he was attacked by her team after asking to take a photo with her. The rapper’s legal and public relations teams have not yet responded to the new allegations from the 2013 case.
As news of the past allegations resurfaced, fans and critics alike have expressed mixed reactions. Some have taken to social media to defend Jessi, while others have condemned the behavior described in the reports. Many are calling for further investigations to ensure accountability.
The renewed attention to Jessi’s past has ignited conversations about the treatment of fans and the accountability of celebrities when it comes to violent actions. However, as of now, no new legal actions have been taken against Jessi.
This developing story is sure to gain further attention, and many are watching closely to see how Jessi and her legal team will respond to these serious accusations.
