When Justin Bieber Responded To False Paternity Claim With Hilarious Borat Clip

by

As a devoted follower of Justin Bieber‘s career since his YouTube days, I must say that 2012 was quite an intriguing year for the pop sensation. The paternity claim by Mariah Yeater was undoubtedly a curveball, but it showcased Justin’s ability to turn adversity into humor—a trait that endeared him even more to his legion of fans, the Beliebers.

In 2012, Justin Bieber was thrust into public scrutiny not due to his music, but because of a strange paternity allegation. A 20-year-old woman named Mariah Yeater claimed he was the father of her child following a brief encounter in his backstage area. Although the accusation was severe, Bieber opted for humor to respond, sharing a clip from Borat that sparked excitement among his followers and the online community.

Justin Bieber Tweets About Woman Who Claims He Fathered Her Baby

On a Saturday in April 2012, Justin Bieber used Twitter to speak directly to Mariah Yeater, the woman who asserted he was the father of her child. In a tweet, Bieber wrote, “Dear Mariah Yeater…we have never met…so from my heart I just wanted to say,” and posted a link to a YouTube video featuring Borat, the character played by Sacha Baron Cohen. The video showed Borat jokingly saying, “You will not get this. You will not get this. La la la la la…” instead.

In a flash, Bieber’s witty and sharp-edged tweet spread like wildfire, getting retweeted more than 53,000 times by his fans, affectionately called “Beliebers.” His playful remark left many of his followers in fits of laughter, with several commending Bieber for his humor. Some also couldn’t resist poking fun at the misspelling of Yeater’s surname in his tweet.

Fan Reactions and Public Perception

During Bieber’s self-proclaimed “Random Twitter Sessions,” a mix of amusement and concern swept through his fanbase. Some found his tweets, which ranged from Rick James to Chuck Norris and David Ortiz, quite humorous. However, the erratic nature of these posts caused others to wonder about Bieber’s mental state at the time. One fan even questioned if he was under the influence, while another speculated that he might be high.

On the other hand, not everyone thought the situation was funny. Veteran publicist Howard Bragman, who also consults for ABC News, criticized Bieber’s tweet. He believed that this response to Yeater’s false allegations, particularly in such a public and sarcastic manner, could potentially tarnish Bieber’s image and negatively impact his career.

As an ardent Belieber, I can’t help but acknowledge that, amidst the whirlwind of controversy swirling around his tweets, Justin Bieber persisted in striding ahead on his musical journey. Simultaneously, he unveiled a tantalizing sneak peek of his “Boyfriend” music video, igniting a buzz among fans like me. The episode with Mariah Yeater, though momentarily reigniting public curiosity, ultimately subsided. However, it stands as an indelible memory when Bieber’s wit and humor gleamed brightly during a tumultuous phase, casting its sparkle even on those who raised questioning eyebrows.
