Your support makes all the difference.Seal has adamantly denied allegations of sexual battery made by his former neighbour Tracey Birdsall.
A representative for the singer said, "Seal vehemently denies the recent allegations made against him by a former neighbour for alleged misconduct more than a year ago. He intends to vigorously defend himself against these false allegations."
Birdsall, who is an actress, said to TMZ that the two had developed a close friendship while neighbours in LA in 2016. She alleges that Seal "lunged" at her in his home, attempted to kiss her, groped her breasts, and belittled her - insinuating that she wanted sexual attention because of the way she dressed. She said she demanded he stop.
She further said she left soon after the incident and did not have contact with Seal again. Birdsall added that she decided to report the incident to police after hearing about the singer encouraging women to come forward with stories of sexual harassment.
A source with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department confirmed to TMZ that a report had been taken Saturday for sexual battery and that the incident is under investigation.
