Bieber sued by ex-neighbour, doesn’t create great first impression with new neighbour
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 23 March 2015
Oh, Justin. It was all going so well. The singer turned over a new leaf recently, quickly establishing himself as the world’s greatest guy. I mean, you don’t go on Ellen DeGeneres’s show to say you’ve changed if you’re not serious, do you? And I for one believe him, but he can’t quite shake off his awful past just yet.
The Biebman’s former neighbour Jeff Schwartz – the one whose house was the recipient of those eggs – is suing the singer for further damages relating to his time living next door to the popstar.
Bieber, of course, already faced criminal charges over the egging incident, pleading no contest and paying just over $80,000 in damages last year. However, according to TMZ, Schwartz has been pushing for further remuneration out of court ever since, demanding up to $1 million.
With no agreement reached, he filed a lawsuit last week claiming that Bieber once spat at him, one of his bodyguards threw anti-Semitic insults at him, and the star tarnished his good name as a car salesman. Team Bieber dispute Schwartz’s claims.
Bieber himself has now moved away from that house and has new neighbours. But lucky for them, Justin is now a super great guy who won’t cause any trouble. So whoever they are, they must be thrilled to have him next door.
Actually, we can find out, because one of his new neighbours is actress Emmy Rossum, who told The Hollywood Reporter: “Justin Bieber just moved in to the house next door to me. He’s my new next-door neighbour, and I went over to kind of offer him a neighborly hello”.
So that’s nice that they’re all friends. Well, except that she added: “I’m not gonna do that again because he has a ton of bodyguards there and they’re really scary. It was so surreal to me that I was like, ‘I am not going to go ask for a cup of sugar over there'”.
Maybe the bodyguards are actually for Bieber’s sugar.
