The alleged tour bus assault was reported by college student Monique Greene in Auburn, Washington, in October 2017, and Nelly was later arrested. The criminal case against him collapsed after Greene declined to co-operate with the investigation, but she later decided to file a lawsuit against him after Nelly accused her of fabricating the story.The alleged tour bus assault was reported by college student Monique Greene in Auburn, Washington, in October 2017, and Nelly was later arrested.

In a new filing from Greene’s legal team, two further women – both under the condition of anonymity – have accused Nelly of sexual assault. One of the alleged incidents took place in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, after Nelly played a concert at the Cliffs Pavilion in December 2017. The woman claims he masturbated in front of her and forced her to perform oral sex. The other complainant is an American woman who claimed Nelly assaulted her at an afterparty following a concert at London’s Koko – she alleges he groped her despite her fending off his advances.In a new filing from Greene’s legal team, two further women – both under the condition of anonymity – have accused Nelly of sexual assault.

The lawsuit suggests the attacks show a “pattern of conduct” where Nelly “preyed upon his selected female fans”.The lawsuit suggests the attacks show a “pattern of conduct” where Nelly “preyed upon his selected female fans”.
Nelly has yet to respond to the new accusations, following requests to his representatives from the Guardian. But he has denied the initial assault, describing it as “false and defaming” and stating: “I am completely innocent.” After the collapse of the criminal case, his lawyer Scott Rosenblum said the subsequent lawsuit was “motivated by greed”.Nelly has yet to respond to the new accusations, following requests to his representatives from the Guardian.
