Taylor Swift had earlier filed a sexual assault lawsuit against former DJ David Mueller. The Bad Blood singer claimed that Mueller “reached up under my skirt and grabbed my a*s right when I was having to pose for a photo.”

Mueller however, denied grabbing Swift’s butt and has sued her over it, claiming he was fired from his job due to the false accusations.

TMZ.com now reports that Mueller has spoken about the incident for the first time openly. He admits touching Swift, but says it was accidental and harmless. He claims his hand was never open when the photo was clicked.
