Jimmie Allen is striking back at the sexual assault allegations levelled at him this year. Billboard reports the singer is countersuing the two women who filed lawsuits against him earlier this year.

According to court documents filed at the Nashville federal court, Allen is denying the allegations and seeking unspecified monetary damages in his suit.

The first allegation came from a member of his former management team who accused the musician of repeatedly assaulting her, while the second suit comes from a woman who claims he assaulted her in a Las Vegas hotel room.

His attorneys claimed his former manager made “deliberate, intentional, malicious, and willful” statements to Variety who first broke the news.
