As you may have heard, Justin Bieber’s former neighbors and egging victims slapped him with a lawsuit for “offensive behavior,” including harassment and anti-Semitic threats, but they allegedly tried to get $1 million out of him first. And this is after the $80,000 that Bieber has already forked over for damages relating to the egging incident itself.
According to TMZ, Jeffrey Schwartz is apparently a well-known guy in the car sales media software industry, and he feels as though his good name has been tarnished as “the guy who Justin Bieber egged.” He also claims that Justin Bieber “verbally abused” his wife and daughter.
Far be it from me to ever defend Justin Bieber, but this feels very much like “I got into an altercation with a pop star” jackpot lawsuit money to me. Plus if this guy is so worried about his reputation, a high-profile lawsuit probably isn’t going to do much to help in that department.
