Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez 2014 News: Singer Deposed In Boyfriend's Alleged Assault Suit
Selena Gomez is going to be deposed in connection to a civil lawsuit filed against her on-and-off again boyfriend Justin Bieber
Gomez, the 21-year-old singer and actress, was served papers mandating her to appear in Los Angeles to recall what took place during an alleged May 2012 altercation between Bieber,20, and a paparazzo named Jose Duran. Duran is alleging that Bieber attacked him in the presence of his girlfriend at the time, Gomez.
Bieber, Gomez and Duran were in the parking lot of a Calabasas, Calif. shopping mall when the Canadian singer reportedly attacked the photographer for following the pair. Although, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department did not file criminal charges against Bieber in the case, Duran decided to file a civil suit against Bieber last year.

Now, E! is reporting that Gomez is mandated to appear in Los Angeles to be deposed April 23, 2014. Sources told the publication that Gomez will be questioned on her, "relationship with Justin, then and now,if she ever witnessed any use of Justin taking controlled substances, if she had seen any episodes of violence or anger involving Justin," and "conversations she had with Justin concerning the Duran episode and any other legal proceedings."
Sources told Hollywood Life that the singer is stressing out about the upcoming deposition.
"Selena is nervous to testify because she doesn't want to say anything that could negatively affect Justin," the source revealed. "She's more than willing to support him but she's not happy that she's been dragged into the case. She thinks Justin is innocent to begin with and that all these paps are just trying to get money."
During a deposition that took place earlier this month, Bieber became enraged at the mention of Gomez' name. Bieber was questioned for over four hours about a civil suit filed by a photographer who is alleging he was assaulted by the singer's bodyguard.
While reports surfaced about Bieber walking out of the deposition at the mention of his on-and-off again girlfriend, TMZ released a video giving an account of the singer's behavior, which could be deemed as disrespectful and comical among other things.
