-_- (Justin Bieber) Not Like [Misconceptions] Says Chantel Jeffries In First // Ambiguous Interview ?!?.

Chantel Jeffries, known in tabloid parlance as Justin Bieber’s ‘shotgun stunna’ just before he was arrested for suspected DUI in Miami Beach last month while allegedly drag racing with his friend Khalil Sharieff, was always going to find her way to a television screen.

So now that that’s out of the way, what did the 21-year-old, Wilhelmina modeling agency-signed model tell E! News in her first interview of that Miami night, her flight to Panama with the superstar, and the controversies surrounding him?

Grilled by E!’s Terrence Jenkins in a Tuesday exclusive, Jeffries said she “didn’t date” Bieber despite a slew of photos and video which strongly suggests they are or were intimate.

Elaborating, she explained, “I didn’t date Justin. If I have a choice it’s in my house with my cat and doing homework or just talking with my friends, whatever. It’s never for those reasons.”

Probed as to whether she and the “Heartbreaker” had ever kissed or slept in the same bed, Jeffries’ answer was classic coy avoidance and will definitely raise more questions.

“We’re friends,” Chantel replied laughing, adding,”Do you kiss your friends, Terrence? Do you sleep in the same bed as your friends?”

Jeffries was more assertive when it came to shutting down claim Bieber is “out of control,” surrounded by “yes-men,” and lost to drugs.

The weight of the drug claims — which follow months of gossip media stories — spiked after the singer’s DUI toxicology report revealed marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax were present in his system at the time of his January 23 arrest.
