Antonia Jenae Details Sexual Assault

Jenae alleged that the sexual harassment took place following a party on Branson's Necker Island in 2010. The singer, who previously served as backup for Joss Stone, claimed that Branson stuck his head between her breasts and motorboated her.

According to Jenae, she and Stone were so shocked over what just happened that they weren't able to react immediately. The singer didn't manage to complain about the incident because she was too stunned.

"Everyone was wondering why I wasn't angry because I'm usually a firebrand. But I was too shocked," said Jenae.

The "Purple Haze" singer also claimed that Branson urged her to get naked and to show her breasts to him, however, Jenae refused. A day after the alleged assault, Branson acted like nothing happened. He invited the backup singer on a plane back to the country with him and his wife.

Following the singer's revelations, a rep for the business magnate confirmed that Branson hosted a party in 2010. However, he also said that no one seemed upset when they left the venue. Branson's rep claimed that his client has no recollection of what transpired between him and Jenae.

"There would never have been any intention to offend or make anyone feel uncomfortable. Richard apologizes if anyone felt that way," said Branson's spokesperson.
