Justin Bieber's fans have been sending death threats to the Kiwi model who claims she slapped him for groping her at a Hollywood party.
Playboy bunny Sarah Harris, 22, said although the pop star "realised he'd stuffed up" straight away and apologised a few days later, his fans are now accusing her of trying to ruin his career.
"I've had so many of his fans DM-ing me [on twitter] and Photoshopping guns into my selfies and giving me death threats and all this crazy stuff.
The "drugging thing" is an allegation made by another young woman, 18-year-old Bailey Scarlett, who claims her drink was spiked at a party attended by Bieber in Melbourne.
Harris spoke to an Australian radio station earlier this week about the incident, claiming Bieber grabbed her breast as he left a Los Angeles party at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion.
Today she told the Herald some of the reports about what happened afterward were confused.
"The true story was I was one of the painted girls for Heff's party and one of the other girls saw him as he was walking out with Kylie Jenner and wanted a photo with him and he said no, and she got quite upset about it.
"So I just said to her 'look babe, obviously we're over getting photos and it's just one night, he'll get that all day every day. It's nothing personal'.
"So he said to me 'thanks for that' and gave me a hug and went to give me a kiss on the cheek but as he did he grabbed my boob. My instant reaction was just you know, he's a guy and I'm out, so I smacked him across the face."
Before anything else happened, Bieber's security guard took him out of the event. Kylie Jenner gave Harris the finger as they left.
Harris said Bieber apologized to her a few days later when they bumped into each other at Brodie Jenner's birthday party - not at the Playboy mansion, as was initially reported.
"I don't know where the whole 'him crawling back to the mansion' thing came from," she said.
"I saw him [at Jenner's party] and I thought it was a little bit awkward and I thought maybe I was going to be kicked out, but he came up and we had a shot together and he apologised then and said he was sorry about it."
Harris said she thought the apology was genuine, although the singer didn't explain why he did it.
She said she had no ill feelings toward Bieber: "I actually like the guy."
Although Harris says the whole incident had been blown out of proportion, she stands by her actions.
"At the end of the day I don't really care who it was, he still did it so that was my reaction ... if it happened tomorrow with another celebrity I'd still do the same thing."
