It seems like every male teen star will undoubtedly have some sort of paternity lawsuit at some point, and Justin Bieber‘s has already arrived. 20-year-old Californian Mariah Yeater alleges she took Bieber’s virginity after a Los Angeles concert just over a year ago and that the encounter resulted in her three-month-old child, Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater.
The alleged encounter occurred on October 25, 2010. Thirty-six weeks and two days later, on July 6 of this year, Yeater gave birth to a baby boy.
If it happened, the encounter didn’t sound very romantic. According to her lawsuit, a security guard told Yeater that the singer wanted to meet her. They quickly began kissing and Bieber suggested they find somewhere more private. That ended up being a bathroom where Bieber insisted on having sex without a condom, since it was his first time and he wanted to “feel everything.” Apparently, the tryst lasted around 30 seconds.
“So Im [sic] going to ignore the rumours…and focus on what is real an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!” Bieber tweeted this morning.
His rep told Radar: “While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”
Earlier this year, the religious Bieber told Rolling Stone “‘I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.”
A court date has been set for December 15. Ironically, under California law, if Yeater’s suit is proven true, she could face statutory rape charges (Bieber was only 16 when the encounter occurred; she was 19).
