It has not been a good couple of days for
Justin Bieber. He was hospitalized Thursday after collapsing during a show in London. And today the clearly stressed singer tried to haul off on a paparazzi photographer who got under his skin.
While leaving his London hotel, Justin was being escorted to his SUV when either him or someone in his entourage bumped a paparazzi photographer. In a
video posted on TMZ, the photographer can be heard voicing his displeasure, and provoking the ire of the Biebs, by yelling, "f--- off back to America," and "f---ing little moron."
Now here's where we step back and say, "well obviously this guy's a jerk." And yes he is. Unfortunately this is the kind of stuff some celebs get hit with every day just trying to, you know, exist. It would be trying for the best of us, and 99% of the time we don't hear about it because famous people learn to (mostly) ignore them. Much like on Reddit, there's nothing to be gained from feeding the trolls.
But today Justin had apparently had enough. He swung open the back door of his black SUV and lunged for the photographer, while telling him, "I'll f---ing beat the f--- out of you." Fortunately a bodyguard was standing right there to muscle Justin back into the SUV, thus preventing what would have been an embarassing, and problematic legal fiasco. Soon after the incident, Justin hopped on Twitter to vent.
