The pop star's lawyers have filed a motion to keep his deposition in
the 2014 house-egging incident private, citing Trump's order of
protection in his Trump University lawsuit, TMZ reported.
Bieber, 22, does not want the media to obtain his videotaped deposition because he believes it could become a spectacle.
And Trump felt the same way about his own legal troubles.
A judge ultimately ruled in the president-elect's favor this summer
that his video deposition in his Trump University lawsuit would not be
accessed by the news media.
The "Confident" singer and his legal team said it would be unfair to
put his taped remarks out in the world — especially since he's already
paid the couple about $80,000 for damage caused in hopes of settling the
suit.
In 2014, his former Calabasas, Ca. neighbors Jeffrey and Suzanne
Schwartz claimed the singer terrorized them by catapulting eggs at their
home and allegedly spitting on them.
Bieber pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor vandalism in
January 2014 in relation to the attack, the Daily News reported at the
time.
He was placed on two years probation
and paid the couple $80,900 in restitution, as well ordered to complete
five days of community service and attend anger management.
Despite the hefty payout, the Schwartz’s are still trying to sue the star, claiming they suffer from emotional damage.
The Biebs found the claims hard to believe and requested in July that they undergo mental evaluations to prove it.
It is unclear if the ex-neighbors ever completed any type of evaluation.
