Justin Bieber went off on paparazzi Friday morning in London, and after a week that saw him get booed three days ago, then faint on stage.
Trying to get into a van and not be the subject of cameras, Bieber was ushered into the vehicle, only to let his temper get the best of him after catching an insult from one of the paparazzi, opening the door of the van and charging after the man, only to be caught by his bodyguard. Bieber can be heard saying “I’ll beat the f-ck out of you.”
It’s obvious the stress of the week got the best of him.
Before all that, Bieber was accused of bringing underaged girls into a nightclub. What’s this all about?
On Twitter, Bieber issued these tweets after the incident:
too many blessings to allow the stress in. the press made things look nuts but really I have enjoyed London. The fans are incredible

In my video, I said Bieber was upset he missed Melissa King’s sex tape video. Justin’s upset he didn’t see it.
But in reality, the report is that Mr. Bieber has went off on paparazzi before. In fact, twice before.
Take a look at these accounts, thanks to MTV.com:
May 2012
Friday’s incident didn’t come to blows, but last year, Bieber was investigated for criminal battery. A photographer pressed charges after an alleged physical altercation broke out at a mall in Calabasas, California, where the singer lives. The camera man complained of pain in his upper torso and was actually taken to a hospital by ambulance.July 2012
Then there was the time Bieber zoomed down the highway attempting to flee photographers, flying right by an irate L.A. city councilman. Justin was cited by police for driving 80 mph, but the politician said it was more like 100 mph.“Bieber was driving like a maniac,” Dennis Zine said at the time. “He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane … If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving. I was going 60 and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac.” Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun said even after the singer’s car was pulled over, paparazzi resumed their chase and the star had to call the police for help.
The bottom line here is a lot of drama could be saved if Justin just ignored these folks and let them take his picture. Justin Bieber’s a public figure.
Of course, we would be robbed of a great subject for viral videos, so maybe I’ll reject that suggestion.
Who Were The Awful Paparazzi?
The real question is who were the awful paparazzi who gave Bieber a problem with their insults? And in particular, who was the bald-headed guy who said “fucking prick” and other choice words to Bieber, and only because Justin didn’t want his picture taken.
Justin should watch his temper – other paparazzi might start using the same name-calling tactic just to get him to stop so they can get his picture.
Stay tuned.
