Justin Bieber Escapes Lawsuit From Bodyguard for Throwing Repeatedly Punches

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

According to the lawsuit, Bieber was backstage prior to a concert and being egged on by a small group of his companions. Bieber allegedly launched an abusive tirade.

"The tirade was apparently triggered by what Justin Bieber perceived as an attempt by Moshe Benabou to keep one member of Mr. Bieber's entourage physically away from Justin Bieber," said the complaint. "As part of this tirade, Justin Bieber repeatedly punched Moshe Benabou in the chest and upper body area. Mr. Benabou did not retaliate or attempt to protect himself out of his concerns for Justin Bieber's physical well-being."

Benabou says he turned around to walk away as Bieber exclaimed that he was fired.

The bodyguard was also suing for claimed overtime wages while employed by Bieber's touring company from March of 2011 to October of 2012.

A trial was scheduled for Feb. 18 in a Los Angeles courtroom. Howard Weitzman, attorney for Bieber, will only say that "the matter has been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties." But TMZ reported it was more than $420,000 in unpaid overtime -- demanding unspecified damages.
