Remaining silent at first, Stephen asked reporters to list the allegations, before saying: "Keep going, I've never heard these allegations."
As the reporter said: "When she was on X Factor you accused her of having sex with Usher," Stephen replied: "Usher's not on X Factor, so how's that possible?"
The reporter added: "She said as a result of these accusations you hit her...She also says you forced her to have threesomes and you threatened to release a sex tape."
