Bieber's Rumored Girlfriend Breaks Silence

Justin Bieber's rumored girlfriend Chantel Jeffries issued a statement today, Jan. 29, to set the record straight about her personal life, but she never utters Bieber's name.

"I have been overwhelmed by the negative attention I have recently received in the media," the statement begins. "My family and I are particularly upset about the false accusations which have been published concerning my criminal history. For the record, I have not been arrested five times as has been stated in the media, nor am I guilty of physically assaulting anyone, in any way shape or form."

The model goes on to add: "I am a full time student who had enjoyed a normal lifestyle, free from public scrutiny and criticism, until now. What has happened to me is wrong. I want people in general, and the media in particular, to consider the impact their disparaging comments have on the individual; especially when their comments are inaccurate."

Jeffries was recently spotted with Bieber, 19, following his arrest in Miami, Fla. The two hit a beach in Panama where the pop star looked to be shooting a new music video while riding ATVs.
