New Video Of Justin Bieber Arguing With A Group Of Paparazzi In Malibu Goes Viral
Last week, while he was spending time at the famous social club, Soho House's location in Malibu, Justin Bieber was followed by an invasive group of paparazzi who were trying to snap pictures and videos of him. This is not surprising, as the iconic pop star has been followed by the media his entire career, but things have heated up more recently, as he's grappled with mental health and physical health issues over the last couple of years.
After noticing the group of paparazzi, the "Ghost" singer decided not to hold back and stood beside his bodyguards as he confronted the photographers, raising his voice and yelling obscenities. Justin looked at the group in disgust. He stated that he was a "dad" and "husband" and that he was a "human being."
"You don't think I'm a real...guy, do you?" Justin asked the paparazzi.
"You're gonna take this video out of context."
"Why would you want to be here, to provoke me like this?" he added.
During the altercation, the photographers recorded everything, and video footage of Justin yelling at them quickly went viral on social media.
Fans Defend Justin's 'Crashout' Against Photographers On Social Media
Once the clips of the 31-year-old having a heated confrontation with the paparazzi were posted online, it didn't take long for them to be spread around, and numerous internet users had much to say about it.
Justin has been in headlines a lot recently, as he had a previous altercation with photographers just a few weeks prior, and there are rumors consistently circling around his mental health and the state of his marriage to his wife, Hailey Bieber.
Under one X user's repost of the video, fans of the singer started rallying behind him, echoing the message that paparazzi tend to take things too far, and that he had the right to tell them off.
"He's not lashing out for attention, he's asking for respect," wrote a user.
"Even celebrities deserve moments of peace without a lens in their face."
"Anyone thinking any human being deserves this because of fame should get their empathy levels checked," added another.
An additional X user called the incident the "most reasonable crashout."
"The sooner there's a law in place to keep paparazzi from doing this, the better," wrote a user.
"It's so sad to see the impact it has on [his] mental health. Just let him go to the beach!"
While a few X users were arguing that Justin should be used to paparazzi by now, or that celebrities should accept that being followed by photographers is part of fame, most of the responses involved backing up his anger.
In the last few days, the dad-of-one has acknowledged that he has "anger issues," but in this case, several internet users agree that his angry reaction to the paparazzi was valid.
