The paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber has been called off for now, but the pop star still plans to take a DNA test to prove his innocence (both legal and otherwise). The new lawyer representing Mariah Yeater—who says the baby is the result of an alleged 30-second bathroom tryst—has cancelled a scheduled hearing and now intends to settle the case out of court. It’s no surprise Yeater wants to keep the case out of the public eye, as she’s supposedly received death threats from enraged fan girls (we believe it). But now the world may never know if Bieber is really the father; Yeater’s lawyer hopes to keep the results and any consequences private. Somehow we’re okay with that.
