Do You 'Belieb' In Justin's Innocence? Next Media Animation Tackles Assault Case Against Him

ALLEGATIONS THAT TEEN POPSTER JUSTIN BIEBER ASSAULTED A BOY are getting a send-up by the Taiwan company Next Media Animation.

The Beebs is accused of assaulting a 12-year-old boy during a game of laser tag at Planet Lazer in Vancouver, Canada.

But Bieber's camp has leaked claims that the kid had made gay taunts.

Now a friend of Bieber's has told E! News that both claims are B.S.

"He told me that he accidentally hit the kid while trying to escape by running through him and his friends," said Michael Kwen, who played laser tag with Justin last weekend. "It's funny how the story always changes. First it was a slap, then it was a punch and now there's homophobic slurs. None of that actually happened at all."
