Mariah Yeater Caught Lying About Justin Bieber

A friend of Mariah Yeater -- the woman who alleges Justin Bieber fathered her baby son -- has sold her out to TMZ, which published shady texts from Yeater attempting to cover up the identity of the child's true dad. (Shock: it's not Justin Bieber.) The friend, identified only as "John," provided photo evidence of a text exchange from yesterday wherein -- you can't make this stuff up -- Yeater begs him to erase a message from her mother stating that an ex-boyfriend named Robbie is the father. The 20-year-old single mom even tried to bribe "John" with money, writing: "Ill kick u when we get paid."

(Nice try, Mariah, but you won't be awarded any Blair Waldorf medals for pulling off diabolically elaborate schemes anytime soon.)

Bieber's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, issued a statement, declaring: "This information proves Mariah Yeater fabricated the story. Our independent investigation indicates Ms. Yeater never met Justin, she has consistently identified another man as the child's father, and Ms. Yeater and her co-conspirators hatched this scheme in order to extort money from him and to sell her story to the media."

Guess he won't have to take that DNA test, after all.
