Derrick Rose's camp has released an official statement after he was accused of rape by his former lover, which was reported by TMZ on Thursday.

Bulls Nation, however, released the official statement of the Chicago Bulls star stating that he is innocent of the allegations and that the basketball player had a "non-exclusive, consensual sexual relationship" with Derrick Rose's ex-lover.

"The plaintiff's allegations are completely false and without any factual basis," the official statement revealed stating that he is clean of rape. "This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete. Mr. Rose was in a non-exclusive, consensual sexual relationship with the plaintiff for over two years. The plaintiff expressed no complaints about Mr. Rose until various lawyers began to surface and demand that the plaintiff be paid millions of dollars. ... This is the third lawyer the plaintiff has retained in this matter."

"Two years have passed since Mr. Rose ended the consensual relationship with the plaintiff, and her claims are as meritless now as they were two years ago. We have complete confidence that the case will be dismissed and that Mr. Rose will be vindicated. This lawsuit is outrageous."

In the exclusive report by TMZ, the woman, who is yet to be named, is trying to sue the NBA star for an alleged gang rape.

"Rose's accuser says the two continued to date until August 2013, when Rose and two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton (who is also Rose's personal manager), invited her to Rose's Beverly Hills house. She says there, they slipped a drug into her drink with the aim of raping her," the report stated.

"The plaintiff says she escaped the house with a friend, but later that night, Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and gang raped her while she was incapacitated," TMZ continued. "She says she remembers only 'flashes' of the incident, but can remember the defendants forcibly raping her."
