What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and Justin Bieber is speaking out after some
‘creeps’ were allegedly sending out fake emails claiming they were hiring for his new
music video.
Justin is also continuing to fight against the sexual assault allegations made on social
media from last month.
There are new developments including a ruling made by the judge on the case.
We’re gonna cover all the Bieber news for ya, don’t worry, but let’s start with
this fake email situation that unfolded over the weekend.
It all started when fans started to receive emails claiming that Justin Bieber was hiring
for a brand new music video of his.
Fans were sharing these emails across social media with some sharing their excitement that
they were being reached out to, while others were skeptical about the email address the
messages were coming from.
They were supposedly coming from Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun himself, but the emails
were coming from a Gmail account rather than an info@scooterbraun.com email address like
the info one he has on his website.
So Justin took it upon himself to speak out and set the record straight on the email that
was circulating and being sent out to his fans.
Justin took to his Instagram stories and warned fans that the email they received was fake.
He shared a screenshot of the email that said “The video will take place in Toronto Ontario
Canada on September 4th and 5th, 2020.
We typically offer around $10,000 for the appearance but if you have a different rate
in mind then that is something that could certainly be discussed amongst all parties
involved.”
The email went on to talk about logistics like travel, accommodations, hair, wardrobe,
and makeup for the shoot.
And Justin told fans that quote, “If you have received a message regarding a music
video that looks like the previous story post it is NOT REAL!
PLEASE BE CAREFUL THERE ARE CREEPS OUT THERE”
And fans took to Twitter to thank Justin for speaking out about this and to call out the
people spreading lies.
One person tweeted about Justin speaking out saying quote, “AS HE SHOULD THESE INTERNET
TROLLS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND”
Another fan pointed out that Justin was looking out for his fans saying quote, “He’s warning
people that there are people who are using his or his teams emails and contact solutions
to try and lure young people in to kidnap or whatever the creeps are trying to accomplish.”
And this person wrote quote, “He should do this more often for all the lies ppl spread
abt him”
So we’re glad Justin spoke out and clarified this situation so hopefully no one engages
with the spammer or spammers who sent out the fake email.
Speaking of people spreading lies, Justin is also continuing to fight against the sexual
assault allegations that were made against him last month on Twitter.
And before we get into this case and these claims, I want to issue a trigger warning
as these allegations discuss sexual assault and other sensitive topics.
In case you forgot, in June, Justin took legal action against two anonymous women who accused
him of sexual assault.
The first woman, who went by Danielle, accused Justin of sexually assaulting her back in
2014 while in Texas.
In a now-deleted tweet she described the night that she allegedly spent with Justin Bieber
following his show at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
Justin and his team vehemently denied Danielle’s claims providing alleged proof that he was
actually with his then girlfriend Selena Gomez at the time Danielle claimed there was an
assault.
Justin tweeted saying quote, “In the past 24 hours a new Twitter appeared that told
a story of myself involved with sexual abuse on March 9, 2014 in Austin Texas at the Four
seasons hotel.
I want to be clear.
There is no truth to this story.
In fact as I will soon show I was never present at that location.
As her story told I did surprise a crowd in Austin at SXSW where I appeared on stage with
my then assistant side stage and sang a few songs.
What this person did not know was that I attended that show with my then gf Selena Gomez.”
But Danielle wasn’t the only one to make accusations against Justin, another woman
named Kadi claims that Justin sexually assaulted her on May 5th, 2015 to which Justin has also
called "an elaborate hoax."
At the time, Justin’s team claimed that Kadi was just a mega fan who waited outside
of hotels for him and chose that date because she knew that he was in New York for the Met
Gala.
According to People Magazine, late last month, Justin filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit
against the two anonymous women.
His lawyers say the accusations against him are "factually impossible and disproven both
by indisputable documentary evidence and the individuals' own admissions."
And now, there is a new ruling on this case from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Terry
Green.
Deadline reported that Judge Terry Green ruled in Justin’s favor Thursday, ruling that
Justin and his team can subpoena Twitter to turn over sexual assault accusers.
In other words, Jusin’s team can demand Twitter turn over the identities of Danielle
and Kadi.
Our sister publication Cosmopolitan also reported that Justin’s attorney believes that once
they can identify the women, they will be able to prove that the claims are "provably
false" through eyewitness and photographic evidence.
Justin’s lawyer told the judge that quote, “We just want to uncover who is behind these
two accounts, and it may be the same person.”
Justin himself hasn’t spoken out about these allegations again on social media, as it’s
now being handled in the courts.
And we will keep you guys posted as this continues to unfold.
