The Biebs Will Sue A Party Guest For $5 Million For Tweeting From His Home, Per Mandatory Waiver
Fucking Bieber. He’s just the worst. I recently saw how he buddied up with Chris Brown. Apparently they’re pretty tight now, making them the douchiest duo in North American history. Luckily Bieber is Canadian, so we only have to claim half of this pair. Those two could suck the class right out of a Jay Gatsby black tie party. Talk about the shittiest role models a parent could ever want for their kids.
Back to Bieber. When he throws house parties, his guests are required to sign waivers that say, among other things, that they are not permitted to tweet, blog, text, ‘gram (filter or no filter), or divulge any information about the house, the guests, the party, or anything about what they witness while there.
The TMZ article also states that high-profile celebrities often use waivers similar to this one. I guess it makes some sense, considering the value of their personal brands and how monetarily catastrophic some dirt on them could be, but a $5 million penalty for violating it is a damn joke. Such a Bieber move. The Bieber waiver also includes language inferring that some downright dangerous and kinky shit will be going on up in there.
The document makes it clear … anyone who violates the terms of the waiver will automatically be on the hook for $5 million in damages.
[…]
And God knows what goes on inside, but the form warns there might be activities which are “potentially hazardous and you should not participate unless you are medically able and properly trained.”
And there’s more … The risks include “minor injuries to catastrophic injuries, including death.”
Biebs, listen here, bub. You wouldn’t be able to hold my Vine game down, man. You can try. You can take my phone, assign a team of security to me, lock me in the pantry, push me in the pool — whatever you gotta do, but I’m gonna find a way to Vine the fuuuuuck out of that party. Just blast it all over the damn internet. That’s a promise. Strippers doing coke off the dining room table? Boom, I’m Vining it. Balcony-to-terrace champagne pours with Cristal? You know it, all over that shit. Puff Daddy gets so hammered he forgets to pull his pants back up after taking a piss and he walks out into the living room with his crank out little-boy-at-the-urinal style? That’s definitely going viral.
You can’t stop my Vine game, Biebs. You can only hope to contain it.
Wanna sue me? Fuck it. Sue me. You can take what’s in my bank account and the keys to my car. Give it to your lawn guy or whatever you want to do with it. I won’t care. I’ll be internet famous, you little shit. Five million dollars…good one, Biebs.

He doesn’t own your experiences. I don’t think this would hold in court. Pictures and videos yes, but words describing your experience, probably not.
12 years ago at 12:48 pmHowever, if you sign a statement that essentially gives him permission to sue you, he can sue you and it will hold up
12 years ago at 1:22 pmHere’s the legal skinny. What Biebs actually owns is his “right to publicity”. The law is pretty clear that you need permission to photograph on private property, but that protection only extends as far as the actual person’s image and likeness. Assuming Biebs’ house does not resemble him, there’s nothing to stop a guest from tweeting their picture at his house so long as he isn’t in it. The worst he could get you for would be a breach of contract and even that is debatable at best. Sure, he could sue you, but there’s not a judge in America that would grant him $5m or anything close to it.
TL;DR – This waiver is legal TP.
12 years ago at 2:39 pm^always nice to have a pre-law or two around
12 years ago at 2:56 pm^and a TL;DR version
12 years ago at 4:12 pmIt includes death though. News outlets would pay well in excess of 5 million for a dead bieber. As would everyone about the age of 16.
12 years ago at 6:05 pmabove* excuse me
12 years ago at 6:05 pmWell technically the right of publicity passes to his heirs or estate in the event of his death but yeah I think all bets are pretty much off at that point. Someone famous like that dying is more or less in the PD.
12 years ago at 8:21 pmIt’s a TBM
12 years ago at 12:50 pmI would Haze the Fuck of out this douchebag till she died.
12 years ago at 12:51 pmout of*
12 years ago at 12:54 pmI wouldn’t give him the honor of pledging.
12 years ago at 3:37 pmWhat fucktard lawyer wrote this? You can’t legally bind anyone from reporting illegal stuff.This might as well have said, ‘If you see me or any of my black friends sippin syrup or doing gator tails you can’t tell the police or put it on the internet because you have to sign this piece of paper to party with me because I said so.’
12 years ago at 12:54 pmAt least his mom isn’t one of the scummiest people on earth, oh wait
12 years ago at 12:54 pmI’d just show up hammered and then the contract would be null. Problem solved.
12 years ago at 12:56 pmSomeone failed business law
12 years ago at 9:22 pmBut can’t complete a contract without consideration, clearly being too drunk works every time!
12 years ago at 11:07 pm^you’ve never even taken a business law class, bub.
12 years ago at 11:07 pmJust being drunk doesn’t do shit, you have to prove that he was the one that got you drunk to take advantage of you or that he had some sort of malicious intent when he noticed you were wasted.
12 years ago at 2:55 pmplus side is, you could beat the shit out of him and as long as you clean up good after, there will be no evidence because nobody can video you
12 years ago at 1:01 pmVine. TSM
12 years ago at 1:02 pmSay that to my face. I’ll Vine the ass whipping I’ll give you.
12 years ago at 1:39 pmFuck him up Dorno
12 years ago at 11:37 pmI can’t wait for the Biebs to fall down an Amanda Bynes-like spiral. It’s gonna be golden.
12 years ago at 1:29 pmPretty sure the contract would be unenforceable. Good luck wasting the court’s time Bieber.
