Justin Bieber’s Ex-Bodyguard Sues Singer for Alleged Assault, $420,000 in Wages

Justin Bieber’s former bodyguard is suing the singer for an alleged assault, as well as over $420,000 in overtime wages.

Moshe Benabou, an ex-Israeli soldier who worked for Bieber from March 2011 to October 2012, claims the pop star berated him and struck him a number of times in the chest during an argument over a member of Bieber’s entourage.

The bodyguard alleges that he was fired after the supposed confrontation.

“For nearly two years Mr. Benabou devoted himself completely to ensuring Mr. Bieber’s personal safety,” his lawyer said in a statement, adding, “Mr. Benabou deserved, as does any employee, to be treated with respect, dignity and in accordance with the law. Unfortunately, he was not.”

However, sources close to Bieber tell Gossip Cop the bodyguard is just a “disgruntled employee.”

We’re told Benabou was actually “let go” after he had been “caught in multiple lies.”

Our insider adds that Bieber’s camp “wanted to maintain a good relationship” with Benabou, but now feel “shocked and hurt” by his out-of-the-blue court filing.

    If I was that guy, I would be ashamed to admit that justin Bieber hit me. Seriously, he weighs like, um, 92 pounds? He must be desperate for money to even attempt that lawsuit. How is the judge not going to laugh?

    And that body guard jeez he’s just in it for the money and when they find out he’s lying he will say something like this:
    “Well he is a famous popster who doesn’t even need that much money, I served years in the army and I need some money” how pathetic! Just because you’re in it for the money doesn’t mean you do that to an 18 year old kid which is in frustration with his growing up AND his break up so people have to respect justin and not make soo much drama
    I swear I’m usually called a drama queen and even the people who usually call me that think this is too much
