14 DAY TRIAL // Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old woman to claim to be the mother of Justin Bieber's child after a one-night fling last year, will not go away. Though the singer has already taken one DNA test, she's asking him to re-do it.
Yeater first took Bieber to court on the grounds that he must pay her and “their” son alimony. She later dropped the suit, but persisted in her claim that he was the father.
The Biebs and his attorneys, on the other hand, said he would submit to a paternity test and then, if it came back negative, sue Yeater and make an example of her for lying to the press and trying to ruin his reputation.
This past Friday, Bieber submitted to the paternity test, which, he tells Letterman (see the video below), was his way of taking a stand against all those who might be tempted to try and make a profit off his fame.
The problem is that Yeater is not happy with it, Hollywood Life reports: and she wants him to re-do the test when one of her representatives or herself is also present.
“Mariah Yeater insists that Justin Bieber take another paternity test to find out if he’s the father of her child – with her present!” the celebrity e-zine writes.
She might be so clingy because she's desperate to meet him, HL speculates.
“Justin already completed one test – but Mariah’s lawyers argue that they can’t trust those results,” the report says.
Yeater's current attorney, Jeffrey Leving, is telling the media his client is ready to meet with Justin and see him take the DNA test whenever he and his people deem it appropriate.
“I want a new DNA test with both sides together at a lab in California as soon as possible. As soon as I tell her to do it, she’ll do it. We need proper protocol and a chain of custody,” Leving says.
As far as he's concerned, Justin believes he's done his share to make the scandal die down – and then some.
He insists he never met Yeater, let alone have relations with her to father a child, and that she's a liar trying to capitalize on his fame.
She's also liable for defamation, which is why he plans to take her to court. Or, as he puts it on Letterman, she's a “weasel” and he could smell it from the get-go.
