Mariah Yeater drops paternity suit against Justin Bieber (update: it’s not over yet?)

fp_8152047_api_bambi_awards
When the news first came out about a paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber, a lot of people found the woman’s story potentially credible. At that point, we’d only read the legal documents and heard from her lawyers, who claimed their client was believable and that she was in possession of evidence to prove that she had sex with Justin Bieber in a bathroom following one of his concerts in L.A. Her story was detailed, her baby was the right age to have been conceived at that concert, and the baby did bear a resemblance to Bieber. It just seemed like it would take a real nutjob to go to those lengths to file a paternity suit that was untrue. Well, once we found out more about Bieber’s accuser, and especially once she sold an interview to one of the nightly tabloid shows, she started to look like a total whack job. She had been arrested for assaulting an ex, whom she first accused of fathering the baby, and she had trouble recalling details from the night in question. Well it looks like everyone who was calling Yeater a crazy person out for cash and attention was right. She’s dropped the paternity suit against Justin Bieber. I guess she didn’t want to get the pants sued off of her:

Single mother Mariah Yeater has quietly dismissed her paternity suit against teenage pop star Justin Bieber.

The 20-year-old, who gave birth to son Tristyn four months ago, has apparently had a change of heart after filing legal action against the Canadian singer two weeks ago.

Her lawsuit seeking a paternity test and child support was withdrawn last week, according to TMZ.com.

Lance Rogers and Matt Pare, the two lawyers who were representing Yeater, have apparently resigned.

The withdrawal of the suit comes after Bieber not only said he would submit to a DNA test, but was also planning to sue Yeater for making a bogus claim.

[From Daily Mail]

I guess we can put this story to rest then. I know this girl has a baby to support, but I hope that whatever she made from selling her fake story and posing for baby pictures and videos has been thoroughly absorbed by lawyers fees.

Meanwhile Bieber was spotted out with a “mystery woman” in London on Monday night. He then flipped off the paparazzi. It’s not the first time he’s done that, so maybe he wasn’t busted on a date so much as pissed off at the photographers. Who knows what they’re shouting at this punk.

Update: Thanks to those of you who pointed out this story on Radar which has an interview with Yeater’s lawyer. She has a new legal team and they’re still trying to get a DNA test. Her lawyer says that there have been death threats against Yeater and the baby.

“I did not step down and there is a legal team. It’s a new legal team. In light of death threats against my client, strategies have been reviewed…the San Diego team has been replaced by John Carlson from Los Angeles,” Jeffrey Leving, a Chicago paternity attorney who took on Yeater as a client, explained over the phone with WGNtv in Chicago.

“She believes Justin Bieber is the father. Right now there’s no more interviews for Mariah Yeater, I’m not going to allow that. Secondly, negotiations are going on right now with Bieber’s counsel and we’re trying to negotiate a private, secure DNA test with the same safe guards that would exist if there were a court order, but without a court order.

“The case is completely out of control and I don’t want something terrible to happen to my client or her child.”

While it’s still unclear whether or not Yeater’s case is still technically active, Leving said he hopes he won’t have to file a new lawsuit.

“My goal is that when the DNA test is completed, which I believe it will be…my goal is to keep everything confidential so the results will remain confidential,” he said.

[From Radar]

Given this woman’s interview and the details about her past, I’m still not buying that Bieber is the father or that he paid her off. DNA will tell though.

    Damn, my evil side really wanted this to be true.

    Is there any chance the Biebs paid her off?

  2. Cindy says:

    Yep, this is one definite whack job!!!! I hope he still sues her for all that she made off of her lies!

  3. Seal Team 6 says:

    The probable truth will be what his people say. If they don’t call her a crazy liar or threaten to sue her, the odds are very good a private DNA test showed him as the father, or she had terrific proof he was the father, and they paid her off to STFU about it. If his people ravage her verbally, then all bets are off.

    I and other posters called this last week: we thought they would settle out of court.

  4. Blondie says:

    What a horrible horrible jacket! Geesh! I usually feel bad for him when people say he looks like a lesbian. But, Oh Em Gee, who is styling this poor child?

  5. keri says:

    He has a very feminine face. I almost thought it was a woman with very short hair.

  6. Joanna says:

    I told you so! I told you so!

  7. Marianne says:

    Or it’s possible that he quietly paid her off so she would go away.

    Anything is possible right?

  8. Kevin says:

    Penny for Goopy’s thought in that photo.

  9. Leigh says:

    My first thought was a pay off too…
    Is it just me, or is the Biebs looking more and more like a butch lesbian every day?….

  10. Seal Team 6 says:

    CB — Dropping the suit doesn’t mean she was lying, it just means she dropped the suit. We have no idea what else is going on, and probably never will know.

  11. Zigggy says:

    Or Bieber’s people have paid her to keep her mouth shut and go away…
    Selena sure hasn’t look too pleased lately.

  12. NeNe says:

    Guess now we will never know the truth.

  13. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    She has a little notoriety now mariah could be on the next DTWS!

  14. moptop says:

    Y’all, come on…She was paid off in a big way. We’re suddenly to believe that she just went away? Look for an increase in her lifestyle, that’s for sure.

  15. Lady_Luck says:

    Pay off ?? Guess nobody will ever really know the truth.

    And kidding me – that girl is 20!??? 20 going on 45 more like it.

  16. Annaloo says:

    no. we’ll know in 18 more years when this baby is an adult and wants a relationship with his father…just you wait. I think she was paid off.

  17. Kerfuffles says:

    If the COURT had dismissed the suit, I would agree with this post that this shows her claims were meritless.

    But when the plaintiff voluntarily dismisses a case, it’s often because the case was settled out of court confidentially. In my experience as a lawyer if a plaintiff voluntarily withdrawals a meritless suit, the defendant will move the court to have the plaintiff pay some or all of the defendant’s fees incurred in defending the suit. It doesn’t look like Bieb’s team is doing that here, which is odd.

    If she was whacky enough to file the suit, I don’t see why she would suddenly drop it now.

    My hunch is that Biebs people entered into a confidential settlement with her contingent on her withdrawing the suit and any DNA testing/-and that the settlement came with a big payment and a requirement that she never speak about it again.

    Or…she could just be a whack job that withdrew her suit. But the context of it is suspicious.

  18. badrockandroll says:

    My take: she filed the paternity suit in hopes of receiving hush money. When bieber didn’t back down and agreed to a paternity test once he returned to north america (likely couldn’t take it in Europe since most courts will only take test results from known and proven labs, and it is highly unlikely that such a list would include European labs), the girl and her “legal” team decided to test the waters by going on a soft hitting entertainment show (not 20/20, not 60 Minutes). When she couldn’t stand up to the ridiculously easy questioning of that interview, she knew that things would get worse, not better, so she dropped her suit, in hopes that bieber will drop his.
    I hope that he doesn’t, and perhaps that will stop a few of these loonies. I also hope that what ever self-regulatory body that disciplines lawyers will also examine the conduct of her lawyers, because I believe that they encouraged this behaviour from a girl who was not of sound mind, and were just as famewh@ry as Mariah. The world does not need more Gloria Allreds.

  19. Flan says:

    Don’t think Bieber is the father at all, he was willing to do a DNA test and she just seems like a supreme dumbass, accusing people of being the father left and right.

    Unfortunately it’s always ones like her having the most babies (which others can support). Just look at her stupid ‘I am a victim’ face, she should do the overpopulated world a favor and get sterilization done.

    Disclaimer: not a Bieber fan.

  20. ladybert62 says:

    My first impression is that she was paid to go away and shut up. I still think this is highly likely.

    That “guy” is just so weird looking – the earrings and the clothes – he always makes me think “he” is a “she.”

  21. no thanks says:

    pay off for sure, he can pay her 10mil hush money and she will go…

  22. LittleDeadGrrl says:

    He’s a better looking girl than I am …

  23. Marni says:

    Some gossip rag will follow this up later down the track. If she is living well, then a pay off it was.

  24. Dibba says:

    Why is there a photo of Rachel Maddow with this story?

  25. JaneWonderfalls says:

    Who actually thought she was telling the truth? I knew she was a total loser from the start, Don’t get me wrong Justin Beiber is lame and it is possible he could have some babies running around, but Yeater NO! I can smell fame whore from across my computer screen.

  26. KF says:

    Who over the age of 16 wants to sleep with him?? I am only 43, but to me he looks like a kid you’d see on the middle school bus! And he SO looks like a girl, I just don’t get it.

  27. jermsmom says:

    my god, he looks like a 13 year old (female) eastern block gymnast!

  28. Masque says:

    I think she was chosen (and paid) to stir up controversy to drum up publicity for his album (Beiber has a baby!!!) and to butch up Beiber’s image (he TOTALLY likes girls and is a stud!!!). She fulfilled her contract, collected her check and then signed off on rescinding her suit.

    Most entertainment scandals are fake and Beiber is a punk. This math is too easy.

  29. Seal Team 6 says:

    @ Kerfuffles

    Yup, exactly.

  30. Lindy says:

    Sounds like a payoff to me, honestly. When will Bieb’s 15 minutes be up? He is a talentless, unattractive jerk.

  31. CG says:

    She totally got paid off!

  32. Seal Team 6 says:

    @badrockandroll

    She had a legal team, not a “legal” team.

    Also, she didn’t have to stand up to any real questioning. She just had to prove she was there that night, and a Judge would have ordered a DNA test.

  33. Dusty says:

    Sounds like someone got paid off – not the first time a celebrity went into damage control.

  34. Ana says:

    Nooooooooooooo!

    If he doesn’t sue her maybe it is proof there was a pay-off…

    If my boyfriend looked like him I would be very paranoid…scratch that, I would never have a boyfriend who looks like that >;)

  35. Suzy (from Ontario, Canada) says:

    keri – he DOES look like a woman in that top photo! I had to do a doubletake as well. ha

    atlantapug – I also wonder if maybe he paid her off. She kept saying she had proof. It just seems strange that she would put herself through all this and then just quietly drop it all. Usually when someone “quietly drops it” it’s because they’ve been quietly paid off.

    I really wanted it to be true too! Somehow I find it believelable that he would do exactly what she said he did.

  36. Emily says:

    *cough cough PAY-OFF! cough cough*

  37. Diane says:

    Why is he wearing makeup and are those hoop earrings? Gosh, he could pass as a younger Blanche Deveraux (of the Golden Girls)

  38. Jordan says:

    What baby doesn’t look like Beiber? I know it’s not his fault, but he looks like a 13 year old kid…I still can’t believe grown ups are this interested in his sex life.

  39. Erinn says:

    I agree with badrockandroll.
    It’s easy to jump to the ‘Oh, she was paid off’ thing, but really that’s just the more juicy story.

    I really don’t think the baby was his. She was so off in that interview and with such easy, straight forward questions. Nerves are one thing, but she was a mess.

    I’m not a Beiber fan, but I really think he handled this whole thing pretty well for a 17 year old.

  40. M says:

    He looks like michelle williams

  41. tapioca says:

    I don’t believe she was paid off.

    If she’s claiming they just had sex, fine, but she said that her son was his kid! A DNA test would have proved this and the child support would have run into millions anyway. By taking hush money she would spend the rest of her life being called a whackadoodle and a liar without actually making any kind of financial gain for her silence.

  42. Iggles says:

    He looks so feminine. I don’t see the appeal AT ALL!

    Then again… when I was 13 I was a huge Hanson fan. My sister and I totally loved Taylor – who with his long blond hair… yeah, fine when you’re a tween the girlish boys are attractive for some reason. But when you’re 19 or 20? That’s just creepy! Unless you prefer androgynous guys in general..

  43. RocketMerry says:

    Girlfriend got paaaaid!
    I’m having a feeling there will be LOTS of young girls coming out with a case of the “sex with the Bieb”. The boy is a sl+t.

  44. constance says:

    I call pay off. This went away too quietly after the initial uproar. He got scurred.

    I hope he hasn’t spawned yet. I really don’t want to see more of his Who face or listen to more of his cheap autotune songs trying the single stripper mom cliche of “I have kids to support, pay me!”

    I’m glad my daughter doesn’t care for him. She thinks he’s fake and puts his foot in his mouth too often in interviews. She was the one to inform me about the rape comment way back. She was blown away at age 13 that anyone would generalize every victim as bringing that situation on themselves.

  45. normades says:

    Her lawyers resigned, so that tells you that she probably was full of crap.

    I hope he still sues her or else people will still think this wack job was telling the truth.

  46. Jamie says:

    I so called it, knew she was bullshitting from the beginning and I can’t even stand Bieber.

  47. cindy says:

    So what about the DNA test? You know he took one. Obviously the results were not in his favor. A couple mil probably shut the young lady up.

  48. Tazina says:

    There is no way he paid her off. Obviously there would be a change in her lifestyle and that would be a dead giveaway he was the father and paid her off. The lawyers crawled back under their rock quite a while ago. No, she just realized she wouldn’t win with the DNA proof and she backed down.

  49. Kloops says:

    Called it. There’s no way to know for sure unless some tabloid follows up with her lifestyle in another 6-12 months. If she’s living status quo, she was full of crap. If she’s living high, he paid her off and it’s probable he’s the father.

  50. Rachael says:

    He paid her to drop it. Duh.

  51. badrockandroll says:

    Her lawyers resigned? That confirms my concerns about their ethics, and explains why I described them as a “legal” team. Every profession has its bottomfeeders!

  52. boo says:

    I don’t believe for one minute this was a payoff, this whack job saw the writing on the wall and decided to cut her losses.

  53. WOM says:

    I’m loving the comments about Bieber’s looks — you people are so clever.

    It’s demented, but I half wanted Bieber to be the father so Yeater’s baby would be provided for financially. What kind of life will that baby have now?

  54. Franny says:

    okay, he looks like a girl. enough with the tinted lip balm, foundation and mascara, and cute short girl haircut. it is not attractive.

  55. Hautie says:

    If Hillary Swank was pretty… she would look just like Bieber. She is a set of braces away from looking exactly like him.

  56. novaraen says:

    Bitch got paid. The Bieber’s backers ponied up a LOT of dough to shut her up…guaranteed. Didn’t want their precious money-maker to lose all his cred with the kiddies. lol…

  57. Seal Team 6 says:

    I haven’t seen anywhere except for TMZ that her attorneys have resigned from the case. There is a difference, as attorneys on here can tell you, between an attorney firing a client (as Shawn tried to do with Lohan), and an attorney no longer being retained/needed. If there was a confidential settlement, either attormeys are no longer needed because it’s done, or she has retained a Family Law attorney, or one specializing in financial settlements.

    Who effing knows.

    Very little real info on this now, except that she dropped the paternity suit. Interesting to see what comes out between now and the Friday afternoon news dump.

  58. Jackson says:

    Sad, sad day.

    And please, CB, please keep that top JB picture forever. It is as much a JB classic as LL in the pink furry bathrobe. Classic.

  59. Seal Team 6 says:

    Snarky question: Does Bieb really think he looks cool or hawt in that white outfit?

  60. shannon says:

    Anyone ever stop to consider that her withdrawal of the paternity case doesn’t mean she was lying? Funny it occurs right before Justin returns from Europe to take his promised DNA test….Personally, I think she was giving a nice chunk of “shut up and go away” money by the Beiber camp..

  61. Melissa says:

    I totally smell payoff. If I were him and I truly wasn’t the father, then I would sue her for filing a BS lawsuit. I wouldn’t try and get any money from this woman, just an admission that this was a false suit. Since that’s probably not going to happen, I totally think that the Biebs is the father and there was payoff to this woman. If that’s the case, it’s sad that they would both be okay with just an exchange of money and no involvement from him in the child’s life.

  62. jamie says:

    Bieber is totally looking like Hillary Swank in that top pic.

  63. T.C. says:

    Ha! Called it, his people paid her off and we WILL know. She will go from welfare to an upscale living (not TOO outrageous to get attention but no longer in need of money or a job), he won’t sue like he said he would, she will stay away from the tabloids or show her proof that he in fact DOES know her and had sex with her (non-disclosure agreement). However sooner or later that son is going to grow up and come on T.V. or write a book. After Herman Cain we all know that non-disclosure agreements have loop holes.

  64. CJ says:

    I’m with #17, this sounds a lot like a settlement & confidentiality agreement to me. Now would be a good time to settle, before the DNA test takes place.

    Also, just because she previously accused someone else of being the father doesn’t mean she’s lying. It’s possible she didn’t know and wanted to rule out the non-famous guy first. She’s obviously not someone with a ton of great judgment.Then again, she could just be crazy. Who knows.

  65. Rita says:

    @Normandes

    Cosign and totally agree. She should be made an example of. Her accusations hurt a lot of people.

  66. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    Why pay her off now? If Bieber even thought there was a shred of truth to the claim, he would have addressed it with “a pay off” right away. Instead he let her do press and reveal herself as the famewhoring whack job that she is, knowing that she’d trip herself up and sink her own ship (which she did). Hence, the resignation of her lawyers and withdrawal of the paternity suit.

    Agree with @tapioca, why permanently ruin your reputation for a payoff when you’re guaranteed 18 years of payment and the satisfaction of proving wrong all those who doubted the child’s paternity?

    Oh, and if she does go from rags to riches (as some of you are saying), I’ll eat my words; but will still think her stupid for keeping his secret and letting him soil her reputation to save his image.

  67. Maddox says:

    Just read on Radar that it’s still on with a new legal team. Now negotiating privately…

  68. GirlyGIrl says:

    Coming soon to a theatre near you

    SPACE BEIBER!!!

    seriously, did he get that jacket at Bowie’s garage sale?

  69. the original bellaluna says:

    Aww, look Bambi and his mother are re-united! (You decide which is which.)

    RE: this chick: She could have realised that it makes her look like a total dumb-ass not to know WHO her baby’s father is; she could have realised she doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell against JB’s PR machine and legal team; or she could have received a pay-off just to drop it. (Think about it: a DNA test and the rumours could have been more damaging to JB than just slipping her some cash and telling her to STFU.)

  70. Madisyn says:

    Bieber was too quick to denounce this loon and agree to a DNA test. Her interviews showed she had no answers for simple questions.

    Did she have a ticket stub for his concert? I’m 43 and still have my ticket stub for a Motley Crew/Whitesnake concert. She claims she was close enough to the front for him to spot her and for him to tell his security to pull her out of the audience, so what do tickets in the first few rows center cost at a Bieber concert? She doesn’t look flush in cash to me. Did she go to this concert alone? What teenage girl goes to a concert alone? Where are her friends confirming her story? Where is there ANY corroboration? She came off as a typical famewhore looking for a little coin. (My opinion only)

    When her lawyers backed out a while ago, she came off on the Insider as a typical famewhore looking for a little coin, Bieber agreed to a DNA test, and threatened to counter sue, that told me all I needed to know.

    The only way I will believe a payoff took place is if her lifestyle is suddenly and substantially upgraded.

  71. Leticia says:

    The collar on his jacket reminds me of the collars on the Snow White costumes, like the collar that the wicked queen wears.

  72. kibbles says:

    I think his handlers are smart enough that if she was paid to hush up, there would be steps taken to make sure that her lifestyle doesn’t sound off any alarms to the press. We’ll have to see what this kid looks like in 10 years and if he’s going to a private school. Payoffs can and do happen. I heard Jay-Z also has an illegitimate love child whose mom was paid off. These kids will be kept away from the spotlight at all costs. They probably have trust funds and bank accounts in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands under a different name so that the public will never know the truth. It makes me suspicious that this is going away so quietly.

  73. AZ says:

    He looks like a girl…….

  74. WillyNilly says:

    “There is no way he paid her off. Obviously there would be a change in her lifestyle and that would be a dead giveaway he was the father and paid her off”

    Not necessarily. If she’s looking for support Biebers lawyers could set up a trust that pays a tightly monitored amount each month and that any extras have to be approved by a 3rd party. There could also be a trust for the child at 18 or 21. We wouldn’t truly know if she was ‘blinging’ unless Bieber was so scared that he gave her whatever she wanted – which I highly doubt. She’s a young girl and his lawyers will absolutely use that to their advantage.

    And keep in mind that just because he SAID he was willing to take a test does not mean that he actually is willing.

  75. Jennifer says:

    I don’t see what Mariah Yeater’s so-called “crazy” status has to do with anything. Seems like if he were not the father, he’d take the test and establish the truth at this point. And, he’d sue her whatever, as the damage has already been done to his reputation. But he’s not suing her. Cos he is the father, and he paid her off. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

    I’m not a Beiber hater. I looked him up on youtube about a year ago because my younger siblings were debating if he was any good or not. I saw him play a song on guitar and couldn’t figure out why so many hate him when from what I saw, he’s clearly a dedicated singer/musician with talent.

  76. WillyNilly says:

    Oh and whomever said he looks butch…nuh uh. Butch bois look way more masculine than him. The comparison to an Eastern Bloc gymnast was spot on! lol

  77. Madisyn says:

    Belle

    Morning. People are going to think were syncronizing our posts. Look at the times are comments posted on #69 and #70, too freaky!

    Keep your eyes peeled for Milo’s bail hearing at 10:30 are time. *supposedly*

    Morticians

    Morning! Agree with you completely. As usual.

  78. TeamJustin says:

    I doubt he paid her off. He said he won’t be a victim of celebrity gossip and by paying her off he would be.

  79. Bird says:

    He really does look like a lesbian, no offense to lesbians. I think she was paid off.

  80. Norah says:

    I actually think this whole thing was arranged by his people. I’ll bet that they were hoping that Bieber would out-grow his lesbian semiotic and become more… manly. Instead, he just looks more and more like a girl as the years go by (those earrings aren’t helping). So, they give a girl a script with some cussin’ and screwin’ and just enough embarrassing details to make it sound real, and pay her a tidy sum to market the Macho Bieber Lie.

  81. KC says:

    Totally got paid off- god, I hate talking smack about little boys, but he is such a tool. It makes me so sad for the future of america- seriously, their role models are Justin Beiber, Kardashians, Usher, Beyonce, Lady Gaga for chrissakes. We have no chance 🙁

  82. TeamJustin says:

    I smell jealousy with justin’s haters bashing him about being a lesbian. Okay if he was a lesbian then he would have never been able to father a child in the first place, lol. People wish they had justin’s networking, fame and fortune. so so sooooo jealous.

  83. TeamJustin says:

    KC, we’ll know she got paid if she starts purchasing things she could never afford before this. Don’t talk ahead of yourself. I don’t think he paid her off because he said he won’t be a victim of celebrity gossip and by paying her off he would be.

  84. Linda says:

    Go to radaronline.com this is NOT over.

    She dropped the lawsuit itself becasue of death threats/harrassment, BUT is now seeking paternity rights privately with attorneys. Watch the video radaronline.com provdides.

    I THINK he is the father. Oh well!!!

  85. Dusty says:

    I ditto the latest news – I just heard her Chicago -based attorney is reporting the case is still on. Seems like the Bieber team is still trying to damage control by planting fake stories that the suit has been dropped. lol

  86. the original bellaluna says:

    Mad – Morning! I’ll look for it. TMZ, right?

    Did you see the link I put up for ROL about how this chicks new legal team is denying the suits been withdrawn?

    Did NO ONE read my link comment? #75

  87. MellaYella says:

    This child look like a little girl to me.

  88. Happy21 says:

    I start by saying I find Justin Beieber and his followers the most annoying people on the planet.

    However, I don’t believe that this was his baby. I think the girl was a whack job who made up the story to make money.

    If he was having sex with groupies all the time I do believe that after this chick came forward, we would have had a ton of girls saying they had sex with him too. What we got was absolutely nothing.

    Girl is a psycho-liar in my opinion and Justin Beiber is flash in a pan who will be forgotten about in another 5 years.

  89. badrockandroll says:

    If she dropped her lawsuit because of death threats, it makes total sense for her to make a public announcement that she is in private negotiations (aka extortion talks) with Bieber – NOT!

    Nothing in this whole sordid mess stands scrutiny.

  90. kiki says:

    #62 – you beat me to it. I 100% thought that was Hilary Swank before reading the headline.

    About the dropped pat suit, I thought she was nuts from the start.

  91. Turtle Dove says:

    I KNEW this story was a complete lie. This chick is a crazy, money grabbing, famewhore.

    I’ve got my suspicions that the lawyers knew to with their, “We filed in good faith” routine, but the fact that they dropped her as a client speaks volumes.

    I hope that JB sues her for enough that what isn’t eaten up by lawyers costs goes into his pocket to be donated to charity.

    Worst and funniest part is that this tramp doesn’t even know who the father of this kid is and now the WHOLE WORLD knows this too. LOLOL

    Trailer park to the left, to the left.

  92. UKHels says:

    on another note, this kid is a nasty piece of work. Lots of stories from the uk about his swearing and snarling at tv engineers and slagging off his audience

    can’t keep behaving like that little boy, it’ll bite you on the ass!!

  93. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    From the article provided by @the original Bella:

    Yeater’s attorney says, “My goal is that when the DNA test is completed, which I believe it will be…my goal is to keep everything confidential so the results will remain confidential,” he said.

    Wouldn’t she want the results made public for purposes of vindication?

    @madisyn, good morning to you too!

  94. Rita says:

    I think this whole thing will depend on Selena. If she dumps him, then it’s probably his kid.

  95. Franny says:

    I can’t believe that crazy hormonal 13 year olds write death threats. I mean, I get it, you want Bieber inside of you…do you think sending angry tweets will make that happen?

  96. fabgrrl says:

    Death threats against a baby? Okay, THAT is the most disgusting/crazy/horrible thing to come out of all of this.

  97. Linda says:

    HELLO PEOPLE, LISTEN!!!!

    The lawsuit has been dropped BUT NOT the paternity case. Go to radaronline.com and read and watch the video. This is NOT OVER!!!

    They are doing this privately now because of the death threats to her and the child.

    I repeat it is NOT OVER!!!

  98. the original bellaluna says:

    Mornin Morticians, boo, Rita, brin, Seal Team! Has the MiLo thing started yet?

    fabgrrl – Yeah, death threats against a 3 month old are w-a-y over the top of insanity.

  99. Madison says:

    She needs to drop the law suit completely and go book herself an appointment with a mental health doctor, they are the only ones who can help her not lawyers.

  100. TXCinderella says:

    The first pic reminded me of Hilary Swank when she played Teena Brandon in Boys Don’t Cry. He does have effeminate features.

  101. lcrime says:

    PAY OFF! hahah The Test will happen. He will find out he is a dad. He will pay her to keep her mouth shut .. then he will pay for THEIR baby..I don’t understand people that would hurt a woman and her baby over a 17yr. boy? What is wrong with these people and their threats.

  102. llori says:

    that baby is definately Justin Beieber’s and his team knows it… they are terrified to go to court because if/when the results confirm its his baby the whole world is going to know this kid lied on national tv telling everyone he never met this girl… and that he is banging groupies backstage lol. So they throw some cash at her and convince her to carry this on out of the public spotlight

  103. why? says:

    What stands out the most or sounds so sketchy is the fact that her new team of lawyers want to keep the results of the paternity test confidential, meaning even this new team of lawyers don’t belive her and are not 100% confident that the baby is JB. They are claiming that they want the results confidential to protect the child, but in reality it just sounds like they want the results of the paternity test kept confidential to save face just in case the paternity test doesn’t show that JB is the father.

  104. connie says:

    @badrockandroll agree with you totally!

  105. SueAnn says:

    Pay out….

  106. Violet says:

    This woman basically targeted Justin Bieber at random and in a mere matter of weeks has really trashed his reputation. On the basis of zero evidence, people still believe this nutcase had his child and that she’s only dropping the suit because he’s settling out of court.

    I’m no fan of his music but the fact is that Justin is 17 years old, just a kid himself. I have no idea why people are so eager to see him go down in flames. From what I can tell, he seems like a nice boy despite becoming rich and famous at such a young age.

    (Incidentally, I don’t think he should support his paternal grandparents. He’s a teenager, not an ATM. Besides which, his paternal grandparents haven’t seen Justin since he was a baby and don’t even need his money since they earn a good income.)

    This whole situation is really sickening.

    I feel bad for the baby, but I hope Justin follows through on his threat to sue Mariah Yeater, so that she doesn’t profit from her lies.

  107. Marjalane says:

    Kind of late to this party, but it sounds to me like this Mariah girl got herself some better lawyers and Bieber’s “handlers” are going to pay her to take the baby and disappear. A lot of you might find her trashy and opportunistic, but did you see the OTHER bimbo he got caught with yesterday? Me thinks the little shit has a thing for road pick ups.

  108. Callumna says:

    Why would the same person post 3 or 4 x on a thread about this?

    Jeez already. Bottom line this girl is crazy, she’s on her second accusation that ended wildly of fatherhood with the same baby. Among other oddities.

    This happens to famous people all the time and it’s pretty irresponsible to run with it before any facts are in. As seen just some due diligence showed the unknown person has a pretty ridiculous history. Sounds funny unless you worked your whole life in a career to have such garbage used against you and people running with the rumor for no reason. Really, his real crime is being an annoying teen Youtube sensation which is actually all talent and charisma related.

    The press only ran with this so early and fact free because they loved the reputation ruining headlines a “Justin Bieber Paternity” line got them. Smiling while delivering it was a sick clue.

    They threw journalism and fact checking away which says everything about them and their publications and nothing about the dancing kid.

  109. dahlia1947 says:

    Wow this chick isn’t giving up is she? Oh well. To those freaks that are sending death threats to her and THE BABY:

    You’re just a bunch of idiot losers! It’s not the baby’s fault! leave him out of this!

    Selfish chicks like this need to keep their legs closed more often. They bring kids into this world that they probably didn’t even want. And the only ones who end up suffering are them(the kids)!!

  110. Linda says:

    REMEMBER and let’s not forget our suprise when we saw the face of the woman Arnold Schwarznegger impregnated. Had it not been for her conceiving, NO ONE would have believed her had she told anyone she had had sex with him–the child is the ONLY proof the she had been initimate with AS, which by the way looks like a young, tanned Arnold Schwarznegger himself. He chose to have sex with his ‘hard on the eyes’ hispanic maid when all the while
    he had a beautiful wife–Maria Shriver right next to him. Go figure!!!!

    Yes, it’s very possible that JB could have had sex with Mariah Yeater (despite her looks). For whatever reason, JB likes them old; look at Selena Gomez–she’s older than him too.

  111. anne_000 says:

    How long does a paternity test take? JB could have ended all this long ago, so I’m getting a bit more suspicious now.

  112. flourpot says:

    He’s such a little douche nozzle wanna be.

  113. Blue says:

    Something about this stinks. I think she got paid off. There was so much talk about suing her and blah blah blah now everyone wants to keep everything hush hush. Also people keep bringing up the fact she accused ONE other person. It’s not like those Maury episodes where the women come back 2,3,4 times with 2-3 different guys. She tested her ex and it wasn’t him. IF she slept with JB around that time then that would make him the next one to test.

  114. dahlia1947 says:

    anne_000 He’s not in the states right now. It was said that he’ll take one when he gets back. For those who think that she got paid off, I just gotta say that the baby doesn’t look anything like him or HER!

    You better track that daddy down girl.

  115. Cerulean says:

    DNA positive or it didn’t happen. This is just part of celebrity. Women have been known to save a condom and shove it up there in hopes of conceiving a cash cow.
    Going public? Why? Unless his team really doesnt buy it.

    JB aka Boys Don’t Cry needs a new stylist.

  116. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    If we are to take away anything from Maury it’s that every time someone is “sure” so-and-so is the daddy it turns out that they’re “not the father.” LOL

    On a serious note, I agree re: death threats on an infant. I don’t care how crazy the mother is, attacking a child is ALWAYS wrong.

    @the original Bella, afternoon, is the little one feeling better today?

  117. kas says:

    I would like to have a serious discussion about the fact that he is always wearing lipstick.

    Always.

  118. LL says:

    WHAT in God’s name is he wearing?!

  119. Camille says:

    I smell a payoff as well.
    After all JB is a money making machine ala Britney Spears etc. A scandal like this could dent his *squeaky clean* image.
    Well I guess time will tell whether the truth comes out about this. What a mess.

  120. normades says:

    So she was not “paid off” otherwise she’d have dropped the case. Righhhht?

    “She believes Justin Bieber is the father.” Her lawyer doesn’t say he is da fadder! It just sounds like he’s trying to protect her right now.

    Turtle Dove #93: Spot on as usual.

  121. Annie says:

    Check out TMZ’s latest story…they’re still going to sue her, or at least hold her accountable

  122. Ruffian9 says:

    “Is it just me, or is the Biebs looking more and more like a butch lesbian every day?….”

    You’re seeing butch??

    He actually makes for a striking girl.

  123. Dana M says:

    He is totally paying her off!

  124. Ana says:

    Thanks for the update: Yayyyyyyyyyy!

    Mwahaha

  125. Seal Team 6 says:

    I’ve been teaching all afternoon and just saw the update. Oh my.

    *evil laugh*

  126. Cinderella says:

    Sounds like Biebs broke some bread with Ms. Yeater.

  127. Seal Team 6 says:

    “Why would the same person post 3 or 4 x on a thread about this?”

    Why not?

    A DNA paternity test takes three days.

  128. Deb says:

    It’s bad enough that people are threatening her (even if it turns out she is a wacko or con artist), but to threaten an innocent baby? That’s low!

  129. Turtle Dove says:

    normades – (air high five)

    MorticiansDoItDeader – interesting how she was the little social network me-me-me girl and now she’s clammed up. Of course they want it private. This way they can play both sides of the fence – maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, but it’s con-fi-den-tial.

    Once faced with the fact that she’ll get no public support and under close scrutiny, she folded.

  130. snapnhiss says:

    Holy shit, I thought that header photo was a joke and was really that girl that impersonates Bieber. I can’t believe ANYONE’S had sex with that guy.

  131. the original bellaluna says:

    Mad – Thanks. And HA! after reading that!

    Morticians – Nope, not yet. He has his moments, but he’s still a stuffy little mess. I bought him some homeopathic stuff yesterday. It’s all I can use since he’s so young.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it SOP to keep paternity tests “confidential” between the court, attorneys, and parents involved? (Here in Cali, Family Court records are routinely sealed to protect the innocent children.)

    The only time DNA results are revealed is when one party or another (or their attorneys or “handlers”) blab it to the media for their benefit.

  132. Mourning the Death of Music says:

    Thinking of a future of raising a child in these uncertain times, I’d probably take a large pay off and quietly raise my baby off the grid.

  133. Kara Ann says:

    Girl seems whack-a-doodle! Of course, that doesn’t mean that Justin didn’t screw her. But, if he did (or does this with other groupies) wouldn’t his “team” have taken it seriously from the first and attempted to have paid her off BEFORE damaging interviews/stories in the press? IDK, but seems to me there is absolutely no reason to believe her at this point. She’s not stable based on her past. She’s not coherent.
    Anyway, I don’t like Beiber but I would need more then this “evidence” to convict any high profile target.

  134. Aries_Mira says:

    Death threats against the baby?!?! Good lord these psychotic fans have got to get a life! Can’t the police be brought into this? I don’t care how trivial it is, find the little s.o.b.’s, have a fully uniformed officer approach them at home or at school, slap cuffs on ’em, take them into the back of the police car and make it VERY clear that death threats are unacceptable. Period. If it happens again, throw the little jerks into a juvenile hall for 24-hours and see how they deal with it.

    Yes, I’m mad. This is way beyond pathetic… I want off this planet.

  135. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    @turtle dove, ITA re:the privacy issue. I wonder if HIS lawyers will agree to keep it private? I’m hoping they’ll shoot her people down and demand the results be made public. I’m no Bieber fan, but I think he needs to play hardball with this girl in order to prevent others from running the same game on him. If he lets this go quietly, and people speculate that he’s paid her off, all of the crazies will come out of the woodwork for their shot at fame and a cash payoff.

    @the original Bella, uuhhh that’s a shame. I’m sure you know better than me, since he’s not your first; but how about saline nasal spray and aspiration? They even have Vicks vaporub for infants. All that in combination with a humidifier provides some relief when my 3 year old is “stuffy.” BTW, I’m watching American Horror Story now, and the opening scene is disturbing!

  136. tmbg says:

    Are we even sure he could father a child? I’m questioning his gender.

  137. faye says:

    I cant believe people attempt to tell the paternity of a baby just by looking at it.

  138. 2 Mainstream says:

    Sorry I just can’t take this child seriously. Go and live a little, Kid.

  139. Shy says:

    Bieber Team should sue her for millions dollars and then give those money (whatever they will get) to charity. Or some some center that supports victims of abuse or rape. Does she have to support baby or not but that is just beyond. And what kind of mother she is? They can take her child away and give it to her mother if she will have to pay and can’t support baby. She is a shitty mother. She probably doesn’t even know who the father is. She slept with few guys and then got pregnant. And then she runs around and telling every man around that he is father 🙂

    There should be lesson to all the other famewhores. Because tomorrow 100 twihards will say that they have Pattinsons baby. And will demand DNA test. And then 100 will claim that Brad Pitt is the father. And it will be circus. They have have to know that there will be consequences.

    And I hate the most that I have no interest in Justin Bieber or his life. And there we all had to sit and read on every site about this situation. And it’s hard not to read when it screams at you from every damn site every day.

  140. Mugs says:

    Doesn’t “he” look like he could be the lovechild of Billie Jean King and “It’s Pat” from SNL?

  141. normades says:

    The lying ho is BUSTED!!!

    http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/17/justin-bieber-baby-mama-text-messages/

    Weitzman tells TMZ, “This information proves Mariah Yeater fabricated the story. Our independent investigation indicates Ms. Yeater never meet Justin, she has consistently identified another man as the child’s father, and Ms. Yeater and her co-conspirators hatched this scheme in order to extort money from him and to sell her story to the media.”

    Weitzman adds, “There have been no settlement discussions and there never will be.”

    Got that people? They NEVER hit it and there was NO pay out!
