Justin Bieber settles lawsuit with paparazzo
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 27 April 2015
Because Justin Bieber is such a super super nice guy now, he has agreed to a settlement with a photographer who claimed to have been assaulted by the singer’s bodyguards outside a recording studio in Florida back in 2013.
As previously reported, Jeffrey Binion reported Bieber’s security to the police in June 2013. He said that he had been attacked while trying to take photos of the singer and had the memory card from his camera stolen. This was one of a number of similar accusations made around the same time.
Binion filed a civil lawsuit the same year. His lawyer confirmed last week that the two sides had now reached a settlement, though terms are confidential. I’d imagine, given what a nice guy Bieber is now, that there’s a big hug involved. And cash. Lots of cash.
