Confusion over Justin Bieber prank

Justin Bieber's publicist insists his laptop was stolen.

The �Believe' hitmaker complained on Tuesday (09.10.12) his computer and camera were taken backstage at his gig in Tacoma, Washington, and even though Justin appeared to confirm it was all a publicity stunt for his new video �Beauty and a Beat', his representative has caused confusion with her statement claiming it was real.

Melissa Victor said in an email: �Be very clear, the laptop was indeed stolen in Tacoma. That was NOT a hoax (sic).'

After the alleged theft, twitter user gwexy threatened to release a personal video at 12pm on Friday (12.10.12) : and the footage was �Beauty and a Beat', the singer's new promo with Nicki Minaj.

Justin thanked the �hacker' for publishing the video and went on to explain he had created the hoax because he was tired of false stories being created about him.

He posted: �Since I was 14 i have had a lot of things said about me, from dying, to taking hormones, to dying again, to stuff about my family.

�To saying i had a baby with a woman i never even met. nude pics, drugs, my family, my character�but today�today i get to be in on it. (sic)'

Meanwhile, police in Tacoma are unhappy with the entire incident with spokesman Mark Fulghum saying a report was filed online on Wednesday (10.10.12), but he now doubts there will be a full investigation.

He said: �A lot of people got played. It became a big media frenzy, so I guess that was the idea.'
