Justin Bieber was spotted getting into an 11-minute expletive-filled argument with the paparazzi while leaving Soho House Malibu in California on Thursday night, June 12.
The singer’s security team was seen ordering cameramen to step away from the A-lister’s vehicle, but they continued to film and this led to an outburst from Bieber.
“Not me today bro,” Bieber told the loitering paparazzi while holding his arm over his face, before shouting, “How do you think it’s going with you in my f**king face? Get out of my f**king face!”
“Stop asking me how it’s going. Get out of here,” he begged.
Bieber, 31, told the unruly paparazzi that he’s “not afraid to set boundaries” and reminded them that they were standing on private property as they asked the Canadian-born artist if he was afraid of being deported amid immigration raids.
“I’m a real man with a real family. And you’re really in front of my face,” he replied.
Justin said that he wanted to set boundaries with “all” of the paparazzi “today.”
“‘Cause I’m not to be f**ked with by any of you,” he said. “Stop that s**t. You don’t get to talk to me today.”
Justin told the paparazzi that they are all his “friends” but that they “don’t get to ask [him] questions.”
When asked why, he replied, “You just don’t … We’re not buddies.”
He repeated the word “no” several times as the paparazzi continued to fire off prying questions.
“I’m a father. I’m a dad, and you guys are on private property in front of my car,” he said.
When one paparazzi wished him a happy early Father’s Day, Justin replied angrily.
“I don’t know you. You don’t go to people you don’t know and say s**t out of nowhere with a camera in their face,” he explained calmly. “It doesn’t matter if I’m a celebrity or not. It doesn’t matter if I’m a public figure.”
When the paparazzi argued back, defending themselves by saying they were standing on the public sidewalk and had a right to question him, Justin said that their video would be “taken out of context.”
“You’ll take this video out of context like you always do,” he repeated multiple times, before saying, “You think I’m an idiot, bro.”
“I’m at my wit’s f**king end is what I am at,” he added. “I’m demanding respect. You confuse my anger with disrespect. It’s anger because you’re disrespecting me. You don’t get to disrespect me and get away with it.”
The paparazzi continued to press him, to which he told them that they were going to take the video out of context and say “Justin lost his mind.”
“You don’t get to force questions in people’s face and take videos out of context and use it against people. That’s mean … It’s mean to provoke people,” he said.
The paps continued to rile Justin up by asking him why he was “mad.”
“You provoke, you provoke, you provoke,” he said. “You think this is a game.”
Justin told them that their jobs were “at the expense of another human.”
“And now you’re laughing ’cause you know it’s true,” he argued.
While the photographers doubled down on their responsibilities, Justin told the group he wasn’t going to be “backed into a corner.”
“Not tonight,” he said. “I love my evenings, I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it’s sad.”
Justin pleaded with them to let him enjoy his evening and “leave it at that.”
The photographers then said goodbye and started backing away, but continued to film him, prompting the singer to lash out again.
“You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you … I don’t give a f**k if you’re on the sidewalk. I’m a human f**king being, you’re standing around my car, at the beach!” he yelled. “You know what I’m saying? You don’t think I’m a real f**king guy, do you?”
“I don’t know who the f**ks paying you to provoke me, but I’m not the f**king one,” he said.
“OK? Stop provoking me and s**t … I’m not to be f–ked with.”
Justin accused the paparazzi of standing around him like he’s “some sort of animal.”
He also said that their pestering is more than annoying, calling it “heart-aching.”
“Leave me the f**k alone,” he demanded before they walked away. “OK, thank you.”
