Justin Bieber is in hot water yet again after his Los Angeles neighbours filed a lawsuit against him on Thursday.
Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz have accused the singer of nine months of offensive behaviour, including anti-Semitic remarks, vandalism, and harassment.
The neighbours live in a gated community in Calabasas, and have a history of bad blood. In July 2014, Bieber pleaded guilty to vandalism for a January incident in which he and his friends egged the family's home. The 21-year-old was sentenced to two years' probation, and ordered to pay $80,900 in damages.
The current lawsuit alleges the star hosted loud parties, and spat in Jeffrey's face after being confronted about speeding on their street. According to the Los Angeles Superior Court filing, Bieber's bodyguards are also accused of calling Schwartz "Jew boy."
The couple are seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial. Bieber's reps did not respond to a request for comment from CNN.
The lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal troubles for the pop icon.
In September, Bieber plesfrf guilty to misdemeanor charges of careless driving and resisting arrest in Miami after initially being charged with a DUI. Accusations of interfering with a flight crew during a Super Bowl trip in January 2014 were dropped, as well as charges of assault against a limousine driver in December 2013.
Bieber called a Comedy Central roast lampooning his behaviour "a turning point" in his life.
"I am looking forward to being someone you can all be proud of," he said last week. "Someone close to me once said, 'It's how you rise from a fall that truly defines you as a man.' I'm excited for that challenge. And I want to say thank you for taking this journey with me."
Following his public trials, the singer cleaved even closer to his friend and mentor, Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz. He reportedly went on a religious retreat with Lentz in October, and was frequently spotted at the church's New York and Los Angeles locations for worship service and bible study last fall.
