Jason Derulo Says He Won’t Work Alone With Women Again After Harassment Case Fallout

Jason Derulo Refuses to Work Privately With Women After Legal Battle

Singer Jason Derulo has made a blunt and highly controversial declaration following a long-running sexual harassment case that has trailed him for nearly two years.

Speaking in a detailed interview with Graham Bensinger, the 36-year-old artist reflected on how the accusations reshaped his professional boundaries and personal trust.

Derulo explained that the case involving singer Emaza Dilan — which was dismissed twice before being refiled in New York last month — left a deep mark on him.

During the interview, he repeated a statement that stunned viewers:

Derulo said he would “never work with women” in private settings again, insisting there is “truth in every joke,” even when his words sounded extreme.

He clarified that he does not intend to shut women out of the industry entirely but will no longer be alone in the studio or any private room with female colleagues.

According to him, the risk of future accusations — even false ones — is simply too high after the financial and emotional consequences of his previous legal battle.

Derulo emphasized that one of the allegations against him was so bizarre that it shook his confidence in the process.

He referenced a claim saying he “sacrificed a goat in a sexual ritual,” describing it as “a crazy, crazy story” that nonetheless cost him millions of dollars and damaged his reputation.

“It’s too risky,” he said, noting that the ordeal taught him to rethink how he protects himself professionally.

He questioned how he could feel comfortable in private workspaces knowing that even unfounded claims can lead to devastating consequences.

As the case continues to attract public attention, Derulo’s comments have sparked wide debate about safety, trust, gender dynamics in creative industries, and the impact of allegations — proven or not — on public figures.

His decision marks a dramatic shift in how he plans to operate moving forward.
