Justin Bieber Spat Directly in My Face

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio.

This past Friday night, Justin Bieber, came to the club I was DJing at. I was opening for his tour DJ, DJ Tay James, and afterward I was allowed to stay in the VIP area and be on standby to take over for him once he finished his set. Bieber showed up at around 1:00a and stayed until 2:30a. I was called back down to the VIP area at around 2:00a to be ready and waiting for Tay James to get done. He decided to stay on until around 2:30a (closing time for the club) At around 2:15a, I was approached by two of Bieber's bodyguards and was accused of taking pictures of Justin Bieber, apparently there were no pictures allowed of him, I'm assuming because he's not the legal age to be inside of a club. In any case, they took my phone from me and went through my phone, there were obviously no pics of bieber, but i did have some photos I took when I was on the stage and I was DJing, much much earlier in the night, at around 11:30p - 12:15a. So they pulled me back into the kitchen area, which wasn't much farther away from where Bieber's VIP area was located. Bieber got wind of the situation and as he was making his way out of the club, he came up to me and said to my face "Your mother's a bitch, your father's a bitch, and you're a bitch." and then spit directly into my face. Not near my face, not on the ground, right in my eyes nose and mouth, and then he walked out. It happened so fast I had zero time to react.

Two of the club owners were in the back area in the kitchen. They were right there and saw it happen. I'm not sure if there were any other witnesses or if there was surveillance footage of the incident...The problem I have is the altercation and the publicity this might negatively bring to that place. I'm afraid any witnesses wouldn't come forward or testify. And that I'm screwed if I even bring this up to them, even though they did see it happen.

I'm just curious if I actually have a court case or not. I didn't think to file a police report as it happened. I had to get up early the next morning and drive out of town. I came back last night, and today I got a blood test taken to make sure I don't have HIV or HEP C.. I'm going to follow up with bloodwork in about two weeks to make sure nothing has developed.

But ya. I do understand the severity of bodily fluids. And it's honestly so damn disrespectful.

I would have been fine with the words or even a push or shove, but not spitting in my face. That's too much...

I wasn't going to say anything, but I had talked it over with a lot of friends and I wanted to reach out here first to see if there is technically anything I can do.

If anyone is willing to help with some advice that'd be great!

Thanks,

Advice for what?

You already must know that you have the option of reporting the assault to the police and filing a lawsuit.

What else do you need to know?

There's no way to predict whether he'd be prosecuted and there's no way to predict whether you'd win a lawsuit.

Actually, my money is on no and no.

If you want your 15 minutes of fame by making a mountain out of this molehill, go for it.

Otherwise get over it and move on.

thanks

Sounds like a police report for theft of your phone might be in order as well. Even if you got it back, they had no legal right to seize your private property.

You can certainly consider engaging an attorney and hoping that someone admits to what happened. But, if there are no witnesses willing to come forward, you may be wasting your time.

apparently he spit in his neighbor's face and his neighbor was pursuing legal action against him. i'm curious as to whether or not there is a way to find out the decision of that lawsuit and then also find out if there's a way to contact his neighbor and/or his neighbor's lawyer.

You can do a civil or criminal case search on the LA County court website:

from what I can find, there is no "lawsuit" involved but a possible prosecution by the state/

I read stuff like TMZ....Beiber spitting in another persons face happened recently. I would file charges and get witness statements.

Ohh! What wouldn't I give to be spat at in the face! I sometimes hang awake at night dreaming of being spat at in the face. ... Bloody favouritism!

I just can't get over that he did that.. Totally uncalled for
