Justin Bieber Sued By Paparazzo Walter Lee For Hit-And-Run

Justin Bieber is being sued by Walter Lee, a paparazzo who claims he suffered severe injuries after a run-in with Bieber’s car last year.

In June of 2013, Bieber was leaving the Laugh Factory with his friend Lil Twist when his car, a white Ferrari, was swarmed by paparazzi. In video of the incident, Bieber is seen slowly edging out into the road, forced to stop every few seconds as the paparazzi continue to jump in front of the car – in the road – in order to get a photo. When Bieber finally drives off, he appears to hit Lee, who had been standing on the side of the street.

At the time, Bieber was investigated for the alleged hit-and-run, but was cleared. Now, one year later, Lee is filing a suit against the singer claiming he may never recover from the injuries sustained in the accident. The injuries listed include “lacerations, hematomas, deep abrasions on his left knee and legand deep venous thrombosis.”

Furthermore, Lee says in his suit that he is being buried with hospital and medical bills.
