Larry Flynt withdraws $1 million offer over Justin Bieber race row
Hustler boss Larry Flynt has sensationally withdrawn a $1 million brand promotion offer to Justin Bieber in the wake of the pop star's race scandal.
Last month (May15), the strip club chain's marketing boss David Lieberman penned a letter detailing an offer the company made for the young singer to appear in global commercials for the venues.
However, after clips of the pop star cracking vile racist jokes
emerged this week (beg02Jun14), Lieberman confirmed the offer has
now been pulled.
In a letter to Bieber's manager Scooter Braun, obtained by the New
York Daily News, Lieberman writes, "Please do not bother to call us
anymore, Mr. Braun, because we stress again our negotiations to
have Mr. Bieber be our celebrity spokesperson are now, once and for
all, over and done forever."
However, Bieber's team is adamant no talks were held between the
two parties over the offer.
A spokesperson says, "Completely false. There were never any
discussions about this, nor would there be."
