Justin Bieber is speaking out for the first time (directly) about the claims by Mariah Yeater that he allegedly fathered her baby. He appeared on the Today Show this morning where he is promoting his 'Under the Mistletoe' album of which a portion of sales will go to  charity.

When he was asked directly about Mariah's allegations he flat out denied it adding he's never even met the girl. And while Justin admits being in the spotlight makes him a target, it will never make him a victim.

Further he went on to say that as soon as his concert is over he is ushered to a waiting vehicle where he's taken to his hotel room.

You have to wonder why a 20 year old would allege this if it's not true. First she has the fans to contend with who are threatening her (and she has an innocent baby that becomes part o that) but also she would be investigated for sex with a minor because he was under aged at the time and she wasn't. Not very bright.

You know I did have my doubts at first because Justin is a young boy who is probably out-of-his-mind horny, but after seeing him flat out deny it I believe him.

What do you think? Just a nutcase after his money? She is asking for $260,000 a month in support payments. This girl is clearly delusional.
