In case anyone is still following this, here’s the latest: [http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jxFXzIEBa4Dis5uVgaToyrzo82yw?docId=8b2fb3b7341a4e9580070cdc1958fc8e](http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jxFXzIEBa4Dis5uVgaToyrzo82yw?docId=8b2fb3b7341a4e9580070cdc1958fc8e) So help me understand this, she’s withdrawing the suit but he still has to take the DNA test? And they’re going to keep the results private? How is THAT going to clear his name? ---

Maybe they’re just going to keep it on file - “Paternity suit - see DNA results - NEXT!” ---

Apparently he is going to “voluntarily” take the DNA test. though it may be that the lawyers agreed to this as a condition of dropping the lawsuit. If it turn out he is the father, they can either negotiate child support, or file another suit. ---

The people sending her death threats over this are as pathetic as she is. Edit: Actually, not as pathetic. But they’re pretty fucking pathetic. ---

Yeah, but she may have started this without any idea that she’d get threats. I mean, who’d a thunk? She was just gonna be FAMOUS as the chick that scored the Bieb. ---

If she were at all observant, she’d have noticed that Selena kid got death threats just for being _suspected_ of _dating_ him. It doesn’t take much brain power to figure she’d be in for just as much, if not worse, for sleeping with him, etc. I really need to start bringing a book with me to the doctor’s office. ---

Oh good. Scooter was on the radio this morning and read her the riot act. > [@](#): > > While Bieber was diplomatic about his response, his manager, Scooter Braun, had stronger words for Yeater and her legal team. “Look, I don’t usually talk in front of mics but the bottom line is they said they’re in settlement talks with us, and the only thing I’m gonna say is they will never be in settlement talks with us,” he said. "We will never settle with them. That’s my little guy right there — I protect him — and they messed with the wrong crew. > > “It’s false and people should be held accountable when they run out and say this stuff,” Braun continued. “And they have this lawyer running around saying, ‘Well, we want everything to be held confidentially now.’ But you don’t get to go out there and badmouth a 17-year-old kid to the entire world then suddenly think it’s going to stay confidential. We’re not gonna go away quietly. I’m from around [the NYC area], and you know that people from around here don’t like to be messed with.” ---

This is getting stranger and stranger. The girl may be delusional or wants attention by accusing Bieber. But I can’t imagine the new lawyers representing her unless there’s a grain of truth somewhere. Their time is valuable and they must see a chance to get paid. The girl is on welfare and she can’t pay them squat. Can’t imagine why Bieber would settle and pay anything unless he’s worried about the dna test. We may never know if it’s all done in secret. Weird isn’t it? ---

I don’t think even a grain of truth is necessary. I would assume she will be making enough from appearances, interviews and photoshoots to pay lawyers, and maybe even have a little money left for herself. Plus she can probably parlay her 15 seconds of fame into a spot on a reality show. ---

Some lawyers take on high-visibility files for the publicity – free advertising. As far as their time being valuable goes, it may or may not be that valuable, and there is not reason for many hours to have been put into the case so far – a few clerk hours to draft the claim and a review and a couple of letters by a laywer would be about it. This is the sort of thing that a low income person and a duty counsel/facilitator could put together and have out the door in half an hour to an hour. Two lawyers and a lot of time? Just smoke. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > But I can’t imagine the new lawyers representing her unless there’s a grain of truth somewhere. She keeps insisting she has valid proof, which they must believe for some reason, but as already mentioned the only thing that can prove he’s the **father** is the DNA test. Any other thing she could come up with (and speculating what those things might be gives me the willies) would only be proof that they had sex. At this point we haven’t even seen a PICTURE of them together. Wouldn’t that be splashed all over the place the minute he said he’d never even met her? > [@](#): > > Weird isn’t it? Insane. ---
