Justin Bieber being sued over anti-Semitic remarks

by Tyler Munro

Justin Bieber’s been trying of late to prove that he’s not a terrible dude. And with his upcoming roast, it seemed to be working. But for the baby-faced singer it’s always been one step forward, two steps back, and today we learned that he’s been sued by his old neighbour Jeff Schwartz over anti-Semitic remarks.

Yes, it’s the same neighbour whose house he was arrested for egging last year. That lawsuit cost Bieber around $80,000 in damages, and in a video of the incident you could hear him cursing wildly. Now Schwartz is claiming that he and his wife also suffered “emotional distress” when Bieber’s bodyguard called him a “little Jew boy.”

He says Justin Bieber terrorized the neighbourhood, spat on him and insulted his little daughter. When he confronted Bieber and his posse, Schwartz says they said, “What are you going to do about it, Jew boy?”

It’s worth noting here that this incident happened more than fourteen months ago, so the timing is a little curious. Did Schwartz just realize this happened, or did the $80,000 run out? Either way — Bieber’s still paying for his teenaged mistakes. Life sucks, doesn’t it? Just go look at this and feel better.
