‘He put it up my dress and grabbed’ Court releases Taylor’s testimony

by

Testimony from a lawsuit which Taylor Swift initiated against radio DJ, Robert Jackson Mueller, in 2015 has found its way online and offers an unsettling insight into the singer's encounter with the host.

With the courts having released Taylor's deposition, the public have been given a detailed version of the events which led to the host's dismissal.

In a video deposition, Taylor recalled the meet and greet where she claims Robert Mueller touched her inappropriately,

"Right as the moment came for us to pose for the photo, he took his hand and put it up my dress and grabbed onto my ass cheek and no matter how much I scooted over it was still there."

It was completely intentional, I've never been so sure of anything in my life," the Out of the Woods singer claimed.

“I remember being frantic, distressed, feeling violated in a way I had never experienced before," she continued.

"A meet-and-greet is supposed to be a situation where you’re thanking people for coming, you’re supposed to be welcoming people into your home, which is the arena for that day, and for someone to violate that hospitality in that way, I was completely stunned.”

Taylor's allegations against Mueller resulted in his attempting to sue her for defamation – a move which Taylor responded to by counterclaiming.

Legal papers on the matter state: "Resolution of this Counterclaim will demonstrate that Mueller alone was the perpetrator of the humiliating and wrongful conduct targeted against Ms. Swift, and will serve as an example to other women who may resist publicly reliving similar outrageous and humiliating acts."

Taylor's representatives have confirmed that any money won in the case will be donated to charities working to protect women from sexual assault.
