An incident from last summer may be causing Justin Bieber trouble again.
Last year on June 18, 2013, Justin and his friend Lil Twist were leaving the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard late at night. The paparazzi swarmed him and Twist as they were trying to leave in JB’s white Ferrari.
A photographer got in the way and after Justin motioned the paparazzo to move, he started to move his car anyway when the photographer didn’t move out of the way. On his way out, Justin struck the photographer, causing him (or pretending) to fall down.
The police were brought in but Justin was cleared of any charges, including a hit-and-run, because the police said the photographer should not have been a pedestrian on the street.
Now, TMZ reports that Justin is being sued over a man who claims Justin injured him that night. It is unclear whether the man suing Justin is the same photographer that was struck with his car.
According to TMZ, Walter Lee claims in his lawsuit that he suffered from lacerations, hematomas, deep abrasions on his left knee and leg and deep venous thrombosis as a result of reckless driving by Justin Bieber. In addition to hospital and other medical bills, Lee claims that he does not believe he will ever recover.
The paps are clearly at fault here. You can't swarms someone's car with blinding camera flashes when they are trying to pull away and drive off, celebrity or not, and expect to go away without getting hurt. They are in a vehicle, a vehicle they are trying to move, get out of the way or risk getting run over. Honestly, so many paps get hurt by celebs in cars just wanting to move. Nobody really cares that Justin was in his car, it happens probably every day.
