Justin Bieber anti-cyberbullying video released as part of his reps’ legal deal

MINEOLA, N.Y. – A New York prosecutor is releasing a new anti-cyberbullying video by Justin Bieber.

The pop star recorded the video as part of a deal that resolved misdemeanour charges against one of his managers and a record executive.

A 2009 Long Island mall frenzy began when more than 3,000 excited girls turned up at a clothing store to see Bieber sign autographs.

Police ordered the event cancelled over safety concerns and Bieber never appeared at the mall.

Police said Bieber manager Scott Braun and Def Jam Records executive James Roppo refused to help disperse the crowd.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice says Bieber made the video in the deal that dropped charges against Braun and Roppo.

The record company and a management company admitted to fire code violations.
