According to Gossip Extra, the judge sided with Binon, ruling that Bieber can’t keep public records secret because of his “brand.”
“Bieber’s celebrity status gives him no greater legal right to seal his deposition than anyone else,” Binion’s objection to the attempt to seal reads.
The deposition is scheduled for Thursday, January 23 to take place in Santa Monica, Calif.
