‘You f**king loser’: Justin Bieber snaps at paparazzo, flips the bird at him during casual LA outing
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber, who is known for his public altercations, has once again kicked up a storm after he aggressively lashed out at a paparazzo who kept recording him despite his apparent displeasure. The 29-year-old Canadian Star lost his cool when a photographer attempted to get his shot as he walked down a Los Angeles street on Wednesday, May 3.
In a viral video of the skirmish, the 'Love Yourself' hit-maker was seen walking to a photographer who continued following him down the road. "I want to f**king ***g your neck sometimes, you f**king loser," Justin told the photographer before flashing his middle finger. But Instead of apologizing, the pap challenged the pop star, replying "Do it, bro." During the casual outing, Bieber wore a navy fur coat that he paired with a white wife-beater shirt and thick, slouchy denim, according to Ace Showbiz.

'I feel bad for him'
The altercation video soon ignited a furious debate among social media users. "I feel bad for him …he's at his lowest point mentally. Needs retire and enjoy his life," one sympathetic fan wrote. "I would probably act this way, too, if my privacy was constantly being invaded. They need to leave him alone they're always bothering him," a second comment said while a third noted “Nah I actually feel bad for him like he’s been through a lot, starting very young. Obviously, he’s had some trauma so I’m not surprised he does this even though he shouldn’t.”
However, there were also some who blamed the 'Peaches' singer's wife Hailey Baldwin. "Hailey has him now but what’s left of him is just a little of bad crumbs that need to sweep away, look what you've done haileyduckman," a comment read. Another echoed similar sentiments as they wrote, "Yet there's Hailey reposting pics the paps took of him, basically applauding them. You'd think your wife would know better."
Bieber's altercations with paparazzi
This isn’t the first time Bieber has gone after someone for trying to take his picture. In 2014, the pop star came to blows with the paparazzi in Paris. In pictures of the altercation, the singer, decked out in all camouflage, was seen pulling at one photographer's neck and appearing to throw punches at another. The fight was immediately brought to a halt by his bodyguards. In another incident, Bieber accused paparazzi of shooting photos underneath Hailey's skirt. The incident happened in 2021 when he and his wife went out to The Nice Guy restaurant and lounge in West Hollywood.
Later, when the pair left the club and boarded a private bus, paparazzi mobbed them and took pictures. After they entered the bus, Bieber looked out and confronted photographers, asking, "Are you guys shooting underneath her skirt?" The photographers were quick to defend themselves, as one said, "Oh my god, please, Justin.” Another asked, "Why would someone shoot under her skirt?" Justin replied, "That's the question, right?" "Come on bro look at the videos...Hey bro, I hope you have a good night, man. Bro, bro, bro, no one would do that, brother,” another pap added, according to E Online.
