Justin Bieber had a heated confrontation with paparazzi in California, demanding space and engaging in an expletive-laden exchange.
Justin Bieber was recently involved in a tense confrontation with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu. This took place after persistent photographers surrounded the artist even though he was visibly getting irritated by them. Justin has often been seen lashing out at the paps.
This particular incident occurred on Thursday evening when Bieber, accompanied by his security team, was met by a group of photographers waiting outside the popular California venue. As they called out for his attention and began filming, the interaction quickly escalated. A video of the altercation, which surfaced on Friday across social media platforms, showed Bieber trying to push back against the intrusion.
In the footage, Bieber is seen attempting to shield himself from the flashing cameras before delivering a firm and expletive-filled message to the paparazzi. 'We're gonna set boundaries here today. I'm not afraid to set boundaries," he said, clearly frustrated by the crowd.
The photographers reportedly wished him a 'Happy Father's Day," but Bieber remained visibly agitated. 'Stop provoking me. I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man," he told them, referencing his family with wife Hailey Bieber and their 9-month-old son, Jack Blues.
As tensions rose, Bieber's security team also stepped in, asking the paparazzi to step back. However, the situation worsened when one of the photographers questioned him about immigration-related concerns. Bieber, appearing increasingly fed up, responded, 'I'm a real man with a real family… And you're really in front of my face."
At one point, he pointed to the ground near his car and said the photographers were on 'private property." 'Not me today bro… How do you think it's going with you in my fing face? Get out of my f***ing face!" he shouted.
I'm sick to my stomach that Justin Bieber is constantly portrayed as horrible things and he has to defend himself time and time again against these vultures that try to ruin his reputation and who he is. pic.twitter.com/bR2tpHd83O — leah ྀིྀིྀིྀིྀི (@ilovedadstin) June 13, 2025
Bieber accused the photographers of provoking him and misleading the public through selective clips. 'You'll take this video out of context like you always do… You think I'm an idiot, bro. I'm at my wit's f**ing end is what I am at. 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,"* he declared.
Despite the photographers arguing they were on public property and had the right to ask questions, Bieber insisted they were crossing a line. 'Because I'm not to be fed with by any of you. Stop that s**t. You don't get to talk to me today," he said. 'You're not my buddies," he added.
The video also captures Bieber expressing frustration over how paparazzi interactions are often misrepresented online. He remarked that the footage would likely be edited with misleading headlines such as '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, emphasizing his anger at being continuously targeted in public spaces. 'You provoke, you provoke, you provoke… You think this is a game."
Bieber went on to criticise the nature of the paparazzi profession, saying their work came 'at the expense of another human." As the photographers continued to assert their right to document public figures, Bieber remained firm. 'Not tonight. I love my evenings, I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it's sad," he stated in the video.
'I'm not going to be backed into a corner," he told the group.
