Mariah Yeater‘Â s lie about the
identity of her son’s father has completely unraveled. That’s right, the Biebs is off the hook, thanks to the real baby daddy, Robert Powell. While serving time for burglary and drug possession, Powell spoke exclusively to RumorFix and revealed that Yeater decided to frame Bieber when they “were both homeless and living in Oceanside [California]…Mariah was trying to make some quick money.”
Powell said that the “Bieber = Baby Daddy” story sold very well. Yeater made $50,000 dollars off the tale, which she sold to a tabloid magazine. According to the 23-year-old father – whose name does not appear on Tristyn’s birth certificate – Yeater had never interacted with the teen superstar, she had never even seen him perform live. “She just picked him, because she thought he was famous and all and thought she could get a lot of money by telling the magazine Justin was the father. She just saw him as an opportunity to make a lot of money.”
How does Powell feel about his part in the scheme? At first he went along it with it, believing that Yeater’s heart was in the right place (and we use the term very loosely), claiming that “she was doing it for us … for our family and son. She made it seem like it was all for us…all I want is to be with my son. She can take all her money, I just want my son.”
Finally, Powell finished the interview by expressing his sympathies for allowing Bieber to take the heat, “Man, on the real, I feel sorry for Justin Bieber. He’s just a little kid man. He don’t need…this drama. He got a career and sh*t to focus on. I feel sorry for the dude.”
Yeah Rob, us too. What do you think collegiettes™? Were you behind Bieber the whole time or, when it comes to things like baby daddies, do you never say never?Â
