Justin Bieber Wants Apology From Mariah Yeater; Still Taking DNA Test?
Although Mariah Yeater dropped her paternity case against Justin Bieber, the 17-year-old crooner is not willing to forget the situation without a public apology.
A source close to the Bieber camp told the Chicago Sun-Times that the singer was adamant about getting an apology.
“This is not about money,” the source said. “Clearly Mariah doesn’t have anything. It’s about getting a very public, widely televised apology - showing the world that people cannot subject celebrities to things like this simply because they are famous.”

Yeater, 20, has publicly spoken out about Bieber, causing many to question his Christian image. In an interview with TV News Magazine, Yeater said the singer’s behavior changed before her eyes.
“(He) went from cute and gushy to just...more aggressive,” the Californian accuser said of Bieber.
She outlined personal and intimate details about her experience with the singer after an October 2010 concert at the Staples Center. Yeater also told The Insider that she is not worried about people judging her questionable past and drawing conclusions about whether Bieber is the father of her three-month-old son.
"Everyone's had a past and made mistakes -- there's nothing wrong with that," Yeater told The Insider. "No one's past should matter [toward] a future situation, or anything of that matter."
After dropping the suit last week and losing two of the previous lawyers working on her case, many speculated about the legitimacy of Yeater’s claims. Jeffrey Leving, Yeater’s new lawyer, told TMZ that his client is looking to settle privately.
Sources close to Bieber denied the claim, without direct denial of continuing to proceed with a DNA test. After the announcement of Bieber pushing for an apology, Leving told TMZ that the pop star is only looking to intimidate “a 20-year-old woman with no money and no job.”
