Captain Obvious rears his ugly head on this one! Mariah Yeater’s paternity claim against teen singer Justin Bieber was nothing but a lie! Who knew?!?

In a new interview with RumorFix, Mariah’s ex-boyfriend, Robert Powell, said, “She lied.”

Duh. File that under things we already knew, right?

He went on to reveal, “We were both homeless and living in Oceanside and Mariah was trying to make some quick money.”

He said that she thought up the crazy tale and sold the rights to her story to a tabloid (Star magazine, obvs) for $50,000. He added, “She just picked him, because she thought he was famous and all and thought she could get a lot of money by telling the magazine Justin was the father. She just saw him as an opportunity to make a lot of money.”

We had our suspicions for the longest time that she wasn’t telling the truth. It’s obvious, really, that she was making up the whole thing just to get famous. After Justin went in for the DNA test, she went radio silent.

What do you think?
