Jenae — a backup-singer for British songstress Joss Stone — claims the
Virgin CEO assaulted her during a party on his private island in the
British Virgin Islands in 2010, during which he “motorboated” her in her
cleavage while making engine noises. “His behaviour was disgusting. I
feel like it was sexual assault,” she said. “We were by the bar and he
was saying bye to everyone. He came up to me and put his face in my
breasts. He went ‘brrrrrr’ and just walked away. It was surreal, totally
out of the blue. Joss and I were like, ‘What the hell was that?!’
Everyone was wondering why I wasn’t angry because I’m usually a
firebrand. But I was just too shocked.”
Although Jenae claims many people witnessed the assault, Branson’s representatives have issued an statement that denies any wrongdoing on his part. “Everyone appeared to enjoy their time,” the statement reads, according to The Telegraph. “Richard has no recollection of this matter. Neither do his family and friends who were with him at the time. There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Richard apologises if anyone felt that way.”
Richard Branson has become the latest prominent figure in the industry to be accused of sexual assault. Speaking with Although Jenae claims many people witnessed the assault, Branson’s representatives have issued an statement that denies any wrongdoing on his part. “Everyone appeared to enjoy their time,” the statement reads, according to The Telegraph. “Richard has no recollection of this matter. Neither do his family and friends who were with him at the time. There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Richard apologises if anyone felt that way.”
Note EU-Digest: Come on now, this is becoming ridiculous - Branson not only had his family around him, during that so-called "incident", but it is also a well known fact that he is not known as a "women chaser", or a so-called "sexual predator". As a matter of fact he is known by many as a real family man. On their 4Oth anniversary he wrote to his wife: 'Thank you for making life extraordinary. Your eyes are still as magic as they were 40 years ago' . Once again, the corporate controlled media, which is in business to make a profit, whatever it takes, is going on steroids in blowing up these stories out of proportion.
