Justin Bieber is suing two Twitter users for $20million after they accused him of sexual assault on the social media site.

Earlier this week, Bieber denied the sexual assault allegations from the two women, providing photographic evidence of hotel reservations and receipts to back up his statement.

The first woman, named Danielle, shared her account of what reportedly happened with Bieber in March 2014 in Austin, Texas. She claimed she was sexually assaulted by Bieber at The Four Seasons Hotel.

Far Out Magazine reports that the second woman - called Kadi - also came forward on Twitter to share details of an alleged incident that took place at NYC's The Langham hotel in May 2015.

Bieber denied Danielle's account, stating the "story is factually impossible", and added that he will be "working with Twitter and authorities to take legal action."

Following his response to the allegations on Twitter, Bieber has filed lawsuits in the US against both women for $10million each.

According to TMZ, Bieber has "indisputable documentary evidence" to prove that their claims are "outrageous, fabricated lies".

Earlier this month, Justin Bieber pledged to use his platform to "speak up about racial injustice".
