LOS ANGELES — Justin Bieber will take a DNA test later this month to prove he did not father a fan’s baby, and then sue his accuser, according to a new report.
Mariah Yeater, 20, claimed in a lawsuit that Bieber impregnated her in October 2010 during a 30-second sex session backstage after the singer, then 16, performed in Los Angeles.
Bieber, now 17, denied the allegations, which he called “crazy” in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show Friday morning. He hired crisis management bigwig Matthew Hiltzik of Hiltzik Strategies to help manage the scandal, and has denied ever meeting Yeater.
Sources told TMZ that the “Baby” singer, currently in Europe, will take a DNA paternity test to prove he is not the father when he returns to the US in two weeks.
When the tests disprove Yeater’s claim, the sources said, Bieber and his team will sue her.
The Canadian star’s lawyer, Howard Weitzman, has reportedly already selected a lab to conduct the DNA test.
Bieber briefly addressed the scandal Sunday at the MTV Europe Awards in Belfast, where he scored Best Male and Best Pop trophies, Sky News reported.
Collecting his second award of the evening, he said, “Yo, two awards in the past 60 minutes. There’s been a lot of crap on the internet lately, so thanks for this.”
