Australian singer Dean Lewis wants to build an unforgettable career in music. Shockingly, the dream might be derailed by the uncomfortable accusations made against the performer.
What happened with Dean? Here's what we know about the serious situation that has taken over the career of the singer. Multiple women have come forward to speak about the controversy surrounding Dean.

What happened with Dean Lewis?
The career of some musicians can reach a point of no return. Young women on TikTok have come forward to share their experience with Dean (via Daily Mail). The range of their experiences is wide, but they include sexually inappropriate behavior.
Elaina is the name of one of the witnesses who stepped forward. The social media user explained, "I knew there would be some sort of sexual nature to us hanging out, but the nature of it made me really uncomfortable."
The context of Elaina's experience puts the situation with Dean into perspective. The singer had texted the young woman, asking her to meet him at one of his shows. As previously stated, Elaina was aware of the nature of the encounter, but the actual interaction with the artist was uncomfortable.
In the video, the social media user continues to explain, "As we were kissing, I quickly realized I wasn't feeling comfortable; there was no effort to make me comfortable."
Dean Lewis released an official statement regarding the accusations.
Dean is aware of how a controversy of this magnitude can affect his career. The performer was quick to use his Instagram account to address the situation directly. The post includes seven slides in which Dean attempts to present his side of the story.
The images read, "However you feel about my behavior, some of the social posts have also gotten out of hand, including some fabricated accounts and some gross misrepresentations and hurtful language."
Dean acknowledges that some of his actions were wrong. The singer admitted that he enjoys flirting with fans and other women. The artist was quick to point out that he believed that every interaction happened with everyone's consent.
It is hard to put the genie back in the bottle. With multiple accounts of uncomfortable experiences with Dean, and the singer himself admitting that he wasn't on his best behavior, it could be complicated for the artist to move on.
The next steps for Dean remain a mystery. After three studio albums released on a consistent basis, the musician had the privilege of enjoying a successful career. It will take years to find out how impactful the accusations will be for Dean's trajectory.
Dean's studio albums include "A Place We Knew," "The Hardest Love," and "The Epilogue." Dean has been nominated for MTV Europe Music Awards and other accolades that placed heavy expectations on his career.
