Justin Bieber’s Former Neighbour Seeks $1 Million In Lawsuit Damages

The victim of Justin Bieber’s infamous egging attack is fighting the singer’s efforts to cap his lawsuit payout at $25,000 (£20,500), insisting his damage exceeds $1 million (£821,500).

Jeff Schwartz, who accused the Baby hitmaker of vandalising his Calabasas, California home in 2014, pursued civil action against Bieber in 2015, launching a bid for compensation amid allegations the pop star spat on him during an argument in 2013.

He claimed the reported assault, and other alleged incidents of threats and harassment, caused him and his wife Suzanne emotional distress in the lead-up to the egging controversy.

Bieber’s lawyers recently offered $25,000 to settle the suit and cover his former neighbours’ “pain and suffering, emotional distress and property damage”, but Schwartz isn’t interested in the figure, because he believes he deserves much more.
