Joe Jonas has threatened legal action against a celebrity blogger who accused him of sleeping with ex-girlfriend Demi Lovato.
The 20-year-old singer, who has taken a vow of abstinence until marriage, issued Canadian Zack Taylor with a written warning after he allegedly suggested that Jonas and the Sonny With A Chance actress were "friends with benefits".
The star's laywers have reportedly ordered Taylor to remove the offending comment and cease from posting further material of a similar nature.
According to TMZ, who manged to obtain the letter, Jonas's attorney wrote: "Your repeated posting of fabricated stories regarding our client must be viewed as evidence of your wilful or reckless disregard for the truth and reflect a malicious attempt to attack and devalue our client's good name and reputation."
Any claims that the couple were "involved in an illicit relationship" could not only damage Jonas's image but also land him in trouble with the law, as 17-year-old Lovato is below the legal age of sexual consent in most US states.
Jonas and Lovato ended their two-month relationship in May but claim to have remained good friends since.
