The neighbor whose house Justin Bieber vandalized with eggs has sued the pop star for assault and emotional distress, alleging he threatened his family and spat in his face and that one of Bieber’s bodyguards called him a “little Jew boy,” it was reported today.
Jeffrey Schwartz and his wife, Suzanne, sued Bieber in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday, alleging that for nine months the pop star harassed his family, The Los Angeles Times reported in an article posted on its website this morning. The behavior culminated with Bieber leading his friends in an egg attack on the Schwartz’s multimillion-dollar home.
Bieber pleaded no contest to vandalism and was placed on probation for the offense. He paid $80,000 in restitution, according to attorney Shawn Holley.
Schwartz, a Web entrepreneur, accuses Bieber of terrorizing their gated Calabasas community with drag racing, loud parties and vile verbal tirades, according to The Times.
Schwartz said in comments reported by The Times that in March 2013, he confronted Bieber about driving around the neighborhood at high speeds in a blue Ferrari while children played. Bieber allegedly used an expletive, said he would “kill” Schwartz, then spit in his face.
Bieber has moved out of Calabasas. His lawyers did not return messages from The Times seeking comment.
