Justin Bieber Deposition Round Two? If So, Selena Gomez Questions Asked

Justin Bieber could be forced to return to another deposition in which he may not be able to avoid answering questions about on-off-on girlfriend Selena Gomez, if a new motion filed by attorney Mark DiCowden is granted.

As previously reported, Bieber was deposed in Miami on March 6 by DiCowden, acting for photographer Jeffrey Binion who alleges he was assaulted by bodyguards on the singer’s orders over photos he took of the then 19-year-old outside Miami’s Hit Factory recording studio on June 5, 2013.

Binion is suing Bieber and bodyguard Hugo Hesny for battery and additionally negligence for the singer.

DiCowden has filed a motion asking a judge to order the “Beauty and A Beat” superstar to a second deposition to answer more probes about his bodyguards’ behavior and an alleged incident Selena may have witnessed, because Bieber refused to answer Gomez-probes in his first deposition.

“I’m looking for Bieber’s reappearance in a deposition to be answered truthfully, honestly, and provide his recollections as to incidents that occurred between him and his bodyguards, including the Selena Gomez incident,” DiCowden told E! News Tuesday.

During the videotaped, court-mandated deposition, DiCowden grilled Bieber for four-and-a-half hours. In one of the now infamous clips posted by TMZ, when Bieber was asked if he had dated Gomez and ever discussed his feelings about paparazzi with her.

Bieber furiously and repeatedly told DiCowden “don’t ask me about her again,” before his attorneys instructed him not to answer and leave the room.

Bieber and his attorneys returned to the deposition after a 15 minute recess. The Gomez-segment is just one of a number of moments in that extraordinarily tense face-off between Bieber and DiCowden dubbed the stuff of pop-culture legend by some.

DiCowden has also filed to have Bieber’s California-based attorneys Howard Weitzman and Jeremiah Reynolds removed from the case.

“In the other motion, I’m also looking for his California [attorneys] to be sanctioned and removed from representing Justin Bieber in this case for their conduct in the March 6 deposition by refusing to allow Bieber to answer questions that were reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence in this case,” he told E!

“I’m looking to question Bieber about Selena because of the incident that occurred in California where he attacked a photographer right in front of her,” DiCowden added.

Los Angeles prosecutors previously declined to press charges against Bieber in a May 2012 incident in which paparazzo Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran claimed he was drop-kicked and assaulted by Bieber after he took photos of the then 18-year-old and the Latina starlet at The Commons shopping center in Calabasas, California.

Duran has since filed a civil assault and battery case against Bieber and wants damages.

Meanwhile, DiCowden is reported to be informally talking to Gomez’s lawyers with a view to deposing her in the Binion lawsuit.

A day after his deposition, Bieber reunited with Gomez in Texas for a reportedly PDA-filled weekend during the pair hugged and kissed over breakfast, smooched at a lazer tag center and swung by a dance studio thought to have been the setting for a later Bieber-posted (then deleted) steamy video of the two dancing to John Legend’s “Ordinary People.”

Bieber also dedicated his song “As Long As You Love Me” to Selena at an acoustic SXSW show that weekend while she watched from the wings.

All in all, it translates to popcorn central if Bieber is ordered to a second deposition.

A hearing on DiCowden’s motions has reportedly been set for June 30.
