Weeks after
criticizing Oprah for her Harvey Weinstein connections and implying she knew of his crimes, Seal is under investigation for sexual battery of his neighbor.
Actress Tracey Birdsall was Seal's neighbor in late 2016. She claims he began kissing and groping her after she went to his house to retrieve something she lent him.
After Birdsall yelled "what are you doing?" Seal began to berate Birdsall over her outfit (a tank top and shorts).
He then invited Birdsall to sit next to him on the couch and in shock she agreed. He then continued to berate and grope her. She then left and hasn't had contact with him since.
Birdsall felt compelled to come forward after seeing his instagram post on Oprah and
#MeToo.
This comes after Chrissy Teigen left a
curious comment of "
Hmm. Let’s just say we’ve all heard things about each other, haven’t we?" on Seal's instagram post.
Seal's rep says: "Seal vehemently denies the recent allegations made against him by a former neighbor for alleged misconduct more than a year ago. He intends to vigorously defend himself against these false allegations."
