A shocking lawsuit has reportedly been filed against teen heartthrob Justin Bieber – alleging that he fathered a child with a fan.
It is claimed that a woman from California has requested a paternity test from the 17-year-old to “scientifically confirm” his paternity of her three-month-old child.
However, a spokesperson representing the teen icon has strongly denied the accusation.
Matthew Hiltzik stated: “We have not yet seen the lawsuit, but it is unfortunate that someone would fabricate such malicious, defamatory, and blatantly false claims.
“We will vigorously pursue every legal avenue available to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”
According to reports, the woman, Mariah Yeater, 20, claims in a sworn affidavit that she was 19 when she had sex with the Canadian singer at a Los Angeles concert last year.
It is said that the lawsuit was submitted to a California court on October 31.
She is seeking to compel Bieber “to provide adequate support for my baby.”
Bieber, known for his breakout hit Baby, is currently in a relationship with fellow teen Selena Gomez.
When they first announced their relationship last year, she infamously received death threats from some of the singer’s fans.
In the past, Bieber has openly criticized casual sex, stating: “I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them.”
He also expressed his desire to become a father by the age of 25, saying, “I want to be a young dad.
“By 25 or 26, I envision myself, like, married or starting to look for a family.”
