Justin Bieber Baby Mama: DNA Results Revealed on 'Maury' Show?
Although Justin Bieber agreed to take a paternity test after returning from Europe, Maury Povitch is interested in officiating the event on his hit television show known for conducting paternity tests.
Amy Rosenblum, former executive producer of “Maury” who first introduced the idea of the paternity test to the show, told The Huffington Post the opportunity would be monumental.
"When I brought the DNA test to TV for the first time on 'Maury,' I had no idea it would still be as popular today as it was then,” said Rosenblum. “Maury is trusted by millions of viewers, and if Maury told Justin, 'You are not the father,' everyone would believe it."

The producer spoke about the success Bieber’s feature would bring to the silver screen.
"This would be a huge TV event," Rosenblum said.
Matthew Hiltzik, Bieber’s spokesperson, confirmed the 17-year-old pop star would take the paternity test. Bieber agreed to take a DNA test to disprove Mariah Yeater's claims that he fathered her 3-month-old child.
“I can confirm the team has proactively made arrangements for Justin to be tested upon his return and we’re going to hold everyone who is involved responsible,” said Hiltzik to MTV News.
Yeater’s lawyer, Jeffrey Leving, expressed concerns about the proceedings to Daily News.
“There has to be a sufficient chain of custody. Now it’s a high-profile case, and there’s motive to corrupt this,” Leving explained. “People are so enamored with Justin Bieber, you could have someone change samples in a lab because of love for this guy.”
Despite Yeater’s claims, Bieber maintains his innocence on the matter.
“I’d just like to say, basically, that none of those allegations are true,” said Bieber on the “Today” show. “I know I’m going to be a target, but I’m never going to be a victim.”
The singer called the accusations, “crazy.”
"I think it's crazy because every night after the show I've gone right from the stage to my car, so it's crazy that someone would want to make such false allegations. To set the record straight, none of it's true,” Bieber added.
Gabe Saporta, the front man of Cobra Starship, who has toured with Bieber in the past, told MTV News he does not believe the claims. Saporta recalled Bieber leaving right after his show each night.
"It wouldn't even be possible for her to get backstage, he security is so crazy there,” he said. “And even if you got backstage, first of all, he leaves the show as soon as he's offstage, which is pretty cool. He runs offstage, gets in a car and jets, because the whole city turns into chaos."
