Summary Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran had sued the Canadian pop star for assault and emotional distress.
CALIFORNIA (Reuters) - A lawsuit over Justin Bieber s 2012 run-in with a photographer in California while on a date with Selena Gomez has been settled out of court, the photographer s attorney said on Wednesday.
Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran had sued the Canadian pop star for assault and emotional distress, saying Bieber kicked and punched him outside a shopping center on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
A trial had been scheduled to start in Los Angeles on Wednesday but Duran s attorney, Steven Madison, said the case had been resolved but that the terms were confidential.
Duran said in his lawsuit that he was taking photos of Bieber driving out of a car parking space when the singer got out, kicked him and delivered a punch before driving off.
Bieber, now 22, had a string of run-ins with photographers and the law between 2012-2014 as he evolved from a baby-faced heartthrob who found fame at age 13 to a young man. He and Gomez split in 2014 after a much publicized on-and-off relationship.
