And Finally
This Just-in: Take that, Mariah
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 23 April 2012
Other than a few firm denials via his publicist and on American TV, and plenty of stern libel warnings sent out via his lawyers, Justin Bieber has not said a great deal about those allegations made last year that he had a brief sexual liason with a fan backstage at a gig in LA, and that said fan had a child as a result.
She sued for paternity; he threatened to sue for defamation; she withdrew her paternity suit but said she stood by her allegations and would pursue child support from the teen star; and then all went quiet. Various lawyers came and went, the Biebster handed over some DNA, but nothing much else has happened over the allegations that always sounded highly dubious.
But this weekend the Beiber sent a little message to his accuser, Mariah Yeater. Via the tweets, the pop star wrote: “Dear Mariah Yeeter (sic)… we have never met… so from the heart I just wanted to say…” He then linked to a bit of audio of Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter ego Borat taunting: “You will never get this, you will never get this, la la la la la!”
Perhaps that’s five months of pent up frustration and anger released on Bieber’s part, which is probably understandable. Though I think had he run his tweet through the probably-should-be-developed ‘PR advice app’ before pressing send, it might have flashed up “just let sleeping dogs lie”.
