Justin Bieber Baby Scandal

A 20-year-old woman named Mariah Yeater has filed a paternity suit against Justin Bieber. She says he fathered her child backstage at a concert last October. Justin Bieber has strongly denied the claims on the Today show on Friday saying "I'd just like to say, basically, that none of those allegations are true," and "I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim." When asked if he knew Yeater, he replied: "I never met the woman." Justin Bieber said he will take a DNA test  to prove he is not Mariah Yeater's baby daddy.

It later emerged Yeater has sent texts to a male friend. In them, the 20 year old asks him to erase messages from her mother that say someone else is the father of her baby and offers the friend a cut of the money she would receive from a successful lawsuit.

Last week, Mariah Yeater dropped the lawsuit against the Canadian singer after these latest messages came to light. Once the test shows Justin is not the daddy, Justin and his team have said they will sue her for defamation of character. Sources say Bieber and his team think it's important to file a lawsuit against Yeater to show there are consequences when someone claims hurtful allegations against a celebrity.
