Seal is reportedly under investigation for sexual battery after his former neighbor, actress Tracey Birdsall, accused him of forcefully kissing and groping her in 2016.
Birdsall told TMZ she was neighbors with the singer in Los Angeles and they became friends, but one day in the fall of 2016 when she went to retrieve her salad spinner, Seal, 54, forced himself on her.
"What are you doing!?" Birdsall recalled shouting, to which the "Fly Like an Eagle" singer responded: "I'm kissing you!"
Birdsall, 54, alleged Seal then belittled her about her outfit and said she was asking for it because she was wearing a tank top and shorts.
She then claimed he began groping her breasts until she demanded he stop. Birdsall told the gossip site she agreed to sit on the couch with Seal after that because she was in shock, but then he continued to grope her breasts and poke fun at her outfit
source with the L.A. County Sheriffs' Department told TMZ that a report was taken on Saturday concerning Seal for sexual battery. The incident is under investigation.
A rep for the singer said in a statement to TMZ that he "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," the statement read
