Bieber team to hold Yeater accountable'

18th November 2011

Justin Bieber and his management team are intent on holding Mariah Yeater "accountable" for her paternity claims.

Mariah filed a paternity suit against Justin claiming the 17-year-old was the father of her three-month-old baby. The 20-year-old Californian woman has since dropped the case.

Although a lawsuit no longer exists, Justin's management and legal counsel are preparing for whatever may ensue.

"We've never even seen the lawsuit, but we're going to just get ahead of this thing and go right after it," Justin's manager Scooter Braun told Extra on in a joint interview with the star Thursday at the singer's charity event Pencils of Promise. "I think it's important to hold people accountable for their actions."

Although it is not required, Justin is prepared to take a paternity test to silence controversy surrounding the issue once and for all.

"Justin's ready to take a paternity test, at any moment. We have one scheduled for tomorrow," Scooter revealed. "He doesn't mind, he's like 'I'm just going to go ahead of it and be fine.'"

Justin is not concerned at all about submitting his DNA to lay the allegations to rest.

"It doesn't matter," Justin said.

Scooter wants to make an example out of Mariah, should her paternity claims prove to be completely false.

"Just because [Mariah] did it, we don't want it to seem like its okay for everyone to say, like, 'I had Justin's baby or having his baby. I'm actually having Justin's baby. I'm pregnant. I'm showing soon."

Justin's new Christmas album Under the Mistletoe was released this month.
