Justin Bieber’s private parts are back in the news yet again.
The 23-year-old pop star checked into a Long Island hospital after suffering a swollen testicle earlier this year — sparking a chain of events that ultimately led to the firing of a staffer and a subsequent lawsuit, TMZ reported .
Bieber reportedly made an emergency visit to Northwell Health in Great Neck in May fearing he had twisted one of his testicles while playing soccer, but false rumors began to spread within the hospital that Bieber had checked in due to a sexually transmitted disease, according to the gossip site.
The hospital claims an employee named Kelly Lombardo looked at Bieber’s file after hearing the unsubstantiated gossip, prompting her to be fired on the grounds that she was an “immoral employee, ” according to TMZ.

Lombardo’s lawyer David H. Rosenberg told the Daily News she sued Northwell Health for wrongful termination, insisting she never snooped through Bieber’s medical file.
“My client was a moral employee who had respect for patient privacy and never accessed Justin Bieber’s file, ” Rosenberg told The News.
“My client swears she did not access the file. From what I can tell, she’s telling the truth.”
The lawyer said Lombardo, an emergency room representative on the job since 2007, was told by several colleagues that Bieber was admitted to the hospital under an alias for a sexually transmitted disease.

Lombardo took no action, her lawyer claims. But she was eventually dragged into a meeting with hospital execs who accused her of accessing Bieber’s online records.
“She was told generally, ‘You are a young female. You’ re not curious about what he was doing in the ER?’ And they fired her, ” Rosenberg said.
“She didn’ t admit him. Never saw him there. She was literally dragged into this.”
In her claim filed with the New York Division of Human Rights, Lombardo also alleges that she was terminated because she is a woman.

“They targeted her because of her gender, ” Rosenberg said.
“It’s wrong. She’s emotionally distressed. We’ re looking forward to vigorously prosecuting these claims.”
Bieber actually checked into the hospital, TMZ states, out of concerns that he had suffered a testicular torsion, which occurs when a spermatic cord gets twisted and typically must be repaired through surgery. He did not go because of an STD.
News of the lawsuit emerged a day after a batch of nude photos of Bieber — which were originally snapped by a paparazzi photographer — resurfaced online when a hacker posted the images to his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez’s Instagram page.
