The Shady Claims Justin Bieber's Former Bodyguard Made About The Singer

Publish date: 2024-03-27

In 2014, Bieber's former bodyguard, Moshe Benabou, sued him for an alleged assault that took place between 2010-2011. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Benabou claimed that Bieber became angry after he attempted to "keep one member of Mr. Bieber's entourage physically away from Justin Bieber." Allegedly, the singer punched Benabou "in the chest and upper body area." The bodyguard said he didn't retaliate out of fear of harming Bieber. Then, Bieber fired Benabou in front of his entourage, yelling, "you're fired!" Additionally, Benabou sued Bieber for overtime wages and vacation time to the tune of $400,000.

At the time, Bieber's representatives denied Benabou's claims and called him a "disgruntled employee looking for money," according to TMZ. However, CNN reported that the singer settled his suit with Benabou for an undisclosed sum only days before their trial was slated to begin. Unfortunately, the lawsuit added to Bieber's streak of legal hiccups around this time. Days before, Bieber turned himself into Canadian authorities for allegedly assaulting his former limo driver, according to NBC News.
