Justin Bieber Cozies Up In Model Ashley Moore’s Lap At Los Angeles Basketball Game
Justin Bieber has a lot going on these days, but on Friday, he took some time to relax with model Ashley Moore and a few friends at a basketball game.
The 21-year-old superstar was spotted enjoying tactile fun with Ashley, who is signed to the Nous Modelling Agency in Los Angeles, in their private suite at the Staples Center in L.A. with pals, while watching the Washington Wizards play the Los Angeles Clippers.
Pictures show the casually dressed Canadian sitting on the also 21-year-old model’s lap at times throughout the game.
At one point, Justin affectionately touched Ashley’s hair and the pair were snapped staring at each other.
In one shot, Justin wrapped his arms around the Pre-Raphaelite haired beauty and kissed her forehead while he continued to sit on her lap.
Despite the rumor mill’s tendency to proclaim the “Where Are U Now” singer is dating any model he either stands next to (see Lira Galore), hangs with (see Hailey Baldwin, who has denied they are dating), is seen with (see Yovanna Ventura), or plays volleyball with (see Kendall Jenner) — it’s not yet known whether Ashley and Justin are romancing or just very touchy-feely friends.
The two were first seen together with pals, including rapper Lil Twist on the Fourth of July 2013. Then, on a lunch date in Beverly Hills one month later.
The model was seen leaving the Four Seasons Beverly Hills hotel, where Justin stayed for a few weeks last May. The pair went shopping in the same area last October, shortly after the hitmaker split up with on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Selena is now supposedly dating German EDM DJ Zedd, and recently told Radio Disney’s “The Alli Simpson Show” that the “Clarity” producer has “got really beautiful eyes, and he’s very sweet and funny.”
The singer’s group at the basketball game also included, famed dance choreographer Nick DeMoura, Shots selfie app co-CEO John Shahidi, director Ryan Butler, singer-songwriter Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd, and the viners Christian Delgrosso, King Bach, Curtis Lepore, and Rudy Mancuso.
“In the suite at the @laclippers game thanks to @hydestaples,” the Biebs tweeted together with a photo of himself and DeMoura at the game.

Inevitably, after the basketball game pic surfaced, an immature contingent of Bieber’s fans posted offensive, and even racist, tweets to Moore’s social media accounts or their own.

“Who the hell would ship justin and ashley? justin isn’t a banana to be ship to a monkey,” @biebsxdallas wrote Saturday.
Online chatter reveals some fans also tweeted the singer, reminding him that Ashley once shared a now deleted tweet, in which she called Justin “irrelevant.”
Out of the overwrought chatter, some Twitter users expressed maturer perspectives about the Biebs’ personal life.
One such fan tweeted the following impassioned message [Note: Contains profanity].
