Justin Bieber Kicked Out of Laser Tag Center for Allegedly Fighting a 12-Year-Old
Filed under: Celeb Kids, In The News, Weird But True, Celeb News & Interviews
Bieber fever caused temperatures -- and tempers -- to rise Oct. 15, when the 16-year-old pop star was kicked out of a British Columbia laser tag center for allegedly punching a 12-year-old boy.
According to Canadian celebrity blogger Zack Taylor, Justin Bieber and another child got into an argument at Planet Lazer, which resulted in Bieber allegedly "pushing" the boy.
However, according to a staff member at the laser tag center, events happened differently.
"The 12-year-old kid was surrounding Justin in the corner with his other little friends and shooting him during the game with their laser guns," the staffer tells the website. "Justin did what any other person would do during a laser tag game, and was just trying to get away from getting shot at and accidentally hit the kid while running away."
Rumors also are circulating that Bieber was the victim of homophobic taunts, NBC's "Today" reports.
Though in a statement made to ZackTaylor.ca, by a friend of the father of the boy who was allegedly pushed, this isn't true.
"The kid never made any homophobic slurs towards Justin," the friend says on the site. "That report is totally false."
According to PopEater, the boy's father filed a complaint against the teen heartthrob, stating that his son was "assaulted and sustained minimal injuries."
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are currently investigating the situation.
"There is an active investigation," a Royal Canadian Mounted spokesman says. "We are in the process of interviewing a number of people that saw what might have happened."
Bieber has not commented on the incident.

lucinda said...maybe the kid will get some sort of punishment for poor conduct and parents will realize he's not a good role model to allow their children to idolize. parents should be more concerned what their letting their young ones be so obsessed with. we let our kids play the family friendly games at Http://bit.ly/cwi2Ul kids need good role models, not people beating one another up.

nadia said...If this was any other person there would be no issue. The 12 year old would cry a bit if he was hurt, his mom would kiss it better and he would go on with his day. Because it's someone famous they're trying to suck the money out of him with a lawsuit. Typical. I'm surprised the police even listen to these kinds of things. I'm no Justin Bieber fan, but I feel bad for him getting played like this.

z34montegirl said...OMG is this world 'sue' happy or what? Stick a binky in the kids mouth, along with his fathers, and go on about your business. What's the lawsuit for? To pay for the band-aid used on the little 12 year old?

mkh said...I agree with post about extortion. Although I'm not a fan, I think in this situation if it was any other kid this probably would have been forgotten. They probably want some free money and in reality they probably actually were bothering him.

Duh said...Ok, I have never seen such an outpouring of such judgemental nasty comments that are directed at the father of the 12 year old when people were to stupid to read the whole story. Everyone is bashing the father for trying to "sue" Bieber, when in fact, the father hasn't even filed a lawsuit. Read the story, he filed a COMPLAINT with the police. There is NOTHING at all about the father trying to get a "payday" by suing.
Learn how to read. Oh...wait...am I now being judgemental by judging the judgemental idiots? yea...lol I am.

Coaster said...Witnesses said Bieber did what ANY kid would do when SURROUNDED....which was try to get away. Too bad, so sad one of the bullies got knocked down, but hey, if you can't take it don't dish it. If he couldn't handle getting knocked over he shouldn't have been playing something as rough as laser tag. This has nothing to do with it being Beiber or not, other than the sue factor. You gotta wonder what a 12 year old was doing playing in the same area with 16 year olds. Did someone lie about his age? Most places group the little kids seperately to keep them from getting hurt.

Robert said...I've read people saying the father just wants to get paid. Well, that's not what this is about at all. It's about a celeb who thinks he can get by with whatever he wants cause he's a star. If the kid had hit him the kid would probably have been arrested and sent to juvenile Hall for assault.
I don't blame the father for protecting his son. That's what a parent is supposed to do.
Justin's a joke anyway. Cheers to the father. Hope he does GET PAID.

Kate said...I think this is stupid. If it was any old kid who shoved his son I don't think the father would be suing. I'm sure he'd be angry, maybe give the kid a talking-to, or maybe just chalk it up to the fact that sometimes you get shoved in laser tag. It's a shame but it seems to be human nature to get more heated about things when we know there's money to be had.
