14 DAY TRIAL // Justin Bieber will be the first to tell you it's not easy being him. Apart from the constant media attention, the armies of screaming fans and, he's also got to deal with all the legal troubles, as of late. The singer was being grilled by lawyers regarding assault incident against a paparazzo, when he reportedly flew off the handle at a series of questions related to Selena Gomez.
TMZ claims that the “Baby” singer was still under oath when he went berserk at the lawyer who shot questions of a more personal nature regarding on-again-off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez. The lawyer spoke for the photographer that is suing Bieber for an alleged assault.
In the case, the photographer claims that Bieber sent his bodyguard to choke him and also make him erase about 20 photos from his camera when the pop start wasn't happy he was being snapped. The event is said to have taken place in June of 2013 outside a studio where Bieber was recording.
The entire deposition took four and a half hours, during which time Justin got more and more aggravated as the line of questioning gravitated towards what appears to be a very touchy issue with the Canadian singer, his relationship with Selena Gomez.
The lawyer asked Justin if Selena was ever present at an incident in which Justin got into altercation with photographers, but the singer's lawyer objected, sensing that the question was a little too personal and the other camp was trying to get a rise out of the pop star.
When the photographer's lawyer again asked the same question, Justin Bieber reportedly jumped in the air and screamed “Don't ask me about her, do not ask me about her!” It was at this point Justin left the room together with his counsel but returned 5 minutes later, seemingly calmer.
After a few more outbursts from the singer which included some use of profanity, Bieber finally exploded by saying “What is this, "60 Minutes?” and later added “OK Katie Couric, what's your question again?”
It's understandable why Justin would be so touchy about the entire matter, since at the moment Selena seems to be ignoring his feeble attempts at getting back together. Worse than that, she even laughed with her friends when Justin posted a photo of her on his Instagram in which he called her a princess, dismissing his compliment as a childish way of getting back together.
The story was picked up by several news agencies so it's very likely that it reached Justin, who was already feeling “dissed” by the fact that Selena hooked up in London with One Direction member Niall Horan, seemingly as a way of getting back at Bieber.
