VOICE STAR’S ‘LESBO SEX ATTACK ON SINGER WITH DILDO’

- COLIN HURST news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

A SINGER claims a star of telly talent show The Voice raped her with a sex toy.

Timothy Heller said that she and Michelle Martinez became mates after her band Dresses opened for the singer in concert.

But when they shared a bed together one night she said reality TV star Martinez penetrated her with a vibrator.

She said: “I was trying to sleep and she was stroking my arm, and I kinda put up with that.

“And then she was like can I just do this, can I just do this, can I just touch your boobs, even though I’d already said no to everything.

“Eventually it just led to her performing sexual acts on me.

“I remember feeling like it was almost a bad dream, and it didn’t help that we never spoke about it either.

“We just pretended it didn’t happen.”

Heller stayed silent about the attack until the #metoo movement after the allegation­s against film boss Harvey Weinstein spurred her to speak out.

She said: “I wanted to start a conversati­on about how abusers are not always who you think they are, they can be your best friend, they can be someone close to you.”

Martinez, who shot to fame on The Voice in 2012, has denied Heller’s allegation­s, saying any intimate contact they had was consensual.

She tweeted: “She never said no to what we chose to do together.

“I would never be intimate with anyone without their consent.”
