Woman Claims She Was Verbally Abused by Justin Bieber in Gym

On Tuesday, Justin Bieber allegedly ripped into a woman at a North Carolina gym. He mocked her workout, cursed at her, and might have even spit in her water bottle. The claims were amde by the woman, according to TMZ, and Justin’s reps say that the whole thing is untrue.

The woman who made the claims is Colette Harrington, a radio host from North Carolina who said she was working out at the gym in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and minding her own business.

Colette claims that Bieber walked into the gym with two people. One of those people seemed to be his trainer and the other seemed to be a backup singer or dancer. Bieber had a concert on Tuesday in Charlotte. The woman said she asked Bieber for a picture, but he declined. She then said that she went back to her workout, which is when she heard Bieber and his friends making fun of what she was doing.

“I always count out loud my reps. Then Justin starts imitating me and whenever I’d get to 20 he and his buddy would say ‘Shut the F’ck up,'” Colette said.

She said she ignored the trio and continued to work out despite their comments. She then said that someone spit something blue into her water bottle. She drank it because, “I did not look at my water bottle before taking a drink.”

A complaint was filed by Colette with the hotel after the incident. The hotel did not confirm or deny the report. Colette said that she will sell the spit-infested water bottle on eBay and then use the money to fix the kitchen at the Ronald McDonald house where she volunteers.

According to Bieber’s reps, the woman is not right. They said that Bieber and his trainer were at the gym and were making rude comments to each other, but not towards the woman.
