Singer and co-host of The Voice CeeLo Green plead no contest to charges alleging he gave a woman ecstasy without her consent during dinner in 2012.

The 33-year-old woman claims she was drugged while out to dinner in Los Angeles with the entertainer and does not remember anything that followed until she woke up next to Green in bed the next morning.

Green was charged with felony drug possession; however, a rape charge was never filed due to a lack of evidence.

Green’s lawyers claimed everything that happened was consensual. Green was sentenced to three years probation and 45 days of community service.

After receiving backlash via Twitter, Green took to his account to defend himself. The tweets, which have since been deleted, are bizarre to say the least.

After deleting the tweets, Green eventually deleted his entire Twitter account.

His Twitter account has since been reactivated.
