Bieber baby accuser withholding DNA
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 23 November 2011
According to TMZ, Justin Bieber’s legal team are having trouble getting hold of the woman who accused him of fathering her baby, Mariah Yeater, or her lawyer, to get a sample of the child’s DNA to compare with Bieber’s.
As you’ll no doubt remember, Yeater claims that she and Bieber had sex after he performed at the Staples Center in LA last year, conceiving a child in the process. Bieber and his team denied the accusations from the off, announcing that the singer would take a paternity test without the court order her lawsuit called for, and then would sue her for defamation once the results came back negative.
Yeater then dropped her suit, ostensibly because it was apparent no court order was necessary, but continued to push her claims with a new lawyer who said that talks with Bieber’s people were ongoing. However, if TMZ is correct, Yeater’s new lawyer is not making much effort to enter into any discussion. The website reports that Bieber’s team isn’t expecting to see a DNA sample for comparison at all because it would add fuel to their defamation case.
