14 DAY TRIAL // A 20-year-old woman claims Justin Bieber is the father of her 3-month son, after they had a casual encounter backstage one of his concerts last year. The Biebs is urging fans not to pay attention to the rumors.
As we also informed you yesterday, Mariah Yeater is taking the teen heartthrob to court, asking a judge to force him to undergo a paternity test to establish that her child is also his.
Naturally, she expects Justin to pay support for the child, who is now 3 months old.
While his management has already issued a statement to claim the allegations made in the lawsuit are pure fabrication, Justin too is choosing to speak out to the fans.
Since there's no better platform for him to do that than Twitter, he's taken to his official page to speak of the rumors.
“so Im going to ignore the rumors...and focus on what is real. an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!” Justin tells his fans, urging them to ignore ongoing reports.
Yeater hasn't yet said whether she still plans to pursue the matter in court, especially after Justin's team denied he ever fathered her baby – as a matter of fact, chances are high they never really actually met.
In the handwritten affidavit she presented to the court, Yeater claims she was singled out by one of Justin's bodyguards, who came up to her and asked her if she didn't want to go backstage.
Once there, Justin came up to her and obviously asked her if she didn't want to go with him to spend some time alone, which she agreed to.
She claims they ended up in a bathroom where they had intercourse – it was the first time for Bieber and he refused to use protection, despite her pleas.
“While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations,” Bieber's representative said, when contacted for comment on the lawsuit.
