Justin Bieber's heated showdown with paparazzi goes viral: ‘Who is paying you to provoke me?'
Justin Bieber was recently caught in a heated clash with paparazzi outside Malibu's Soho House, after months of relentless media attention. The singer, who has been keeping a low profile since becoming a father, finally snapped, lashing out at photographers for invading his personal space. According to Page Six, it all unfolded on Thursday when Bieber was leaving the popular celebrity hotspot, only to be swarmed by paparazzi shouting his name and firing questions. What started as the usual media circus quickly spiraled into an intense verbal spat, parts of which were captured on camera and quickly made the rounds on social media by Friday. Though the photographers tried to lighten the mood by wishing him a 'Happy Father's Day,' their words only seemed to fuel Bieber's frustration. 'Stop provoking me. I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man,' he shot back, drawing attention to his life with Hailey Bieber and their 9-month-old son, Jack Blues. The pop star accused the paparazzi of deliberately stirring the pot, warning them about the usual media trick of chopping clips for clicks. 'You'll take this video out of context like you always do… You think I'm an idiot, bro,' he said. 'I'm at my wit's end is what I am at.' Despite the photographers arguing that they were within their rights to film in a public place, Bieber wasn't having it. '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 told them sharply. 'You're not my buddies.' In the video, Bieber also pointed out how these tense encounters are often flipped online to make him look bad, expecting the usual round of headlines like 'Justin lost his mind.' He pushed back on the idea that his anger was unjustified: 'You confuse my anger with disrespect. It's anger because you're disrespecting me.' Justin Bieber presses paparazzi for filming him at the beach 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business… I'm a human fckin being standing around my car AT THE BEACH. Idk who the fck is paying to provoke me, but I'm not the f*cking one.' — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 14, 2025 He didn't hold back in criticising their profession either, saying their work thrives 'at the expense of another human.' As the shouting match continued, Bieber made one thing clear: his family time was off-limits. 'Not tonight. I love my evenings, I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it's sad.' 'I don't know who is paying you to provoke me, but I'm not the one. OK? Stop provoking me… I'm not to be fed with,' he said firmly. As expected, the video clips exploded across social media, sparking fierce debate. While some online insisted that dealing with paparazzi is just 'part of the game' for celebrities, others sympathised with Bieber's outburst. One person wrote, 'Kinda sad to see when you put it in context of everything he's gone through.'

Justin Bieber explodes at paparazzi in heated exchange amid mental health concerns: 'I'm not to be f**ked with'
Justin Bieber, who has lived under the microscope since he was barely a teenager, found himself in a tense and emotional standoff with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu on Thursday night. The 31-year-old singer, now a husband and new father, was caught on video engaging in an 11-minute argument with a group of photographers. This confrontation quickly turned into an expletive-filled plea for space and basic human respect. Justin Bieber schools paparazzi in emotional outburst According to a Page Six report, just as Bieber began to leave the venue, he was met by several paparazzi waiting by his vehicle. Visibly irritated, he tried to shield his face with his arm and said, 'Not me today, bro.' But when they continued recording and shouting questions, he snapped, 'How do you think it's going with you in my f—king face? Get out of my f—king face!' His security team attempted to intervene, ordering the cameramen to step away, but they persisted, prompting more frustrated reactions from the singer. Bieber made it clear he had no interest in small talk, saying, 'Stop asking me how it's going. Get out of here.' He told the group that he was setting boundaries and noted they were on private property. The situation escalated further when one of the paparazzi asked if he was afraid of being deported due to immigration raids. 'I'm a real man with a real family,' Bieber responded, referencing his infant son Jack Blues with wife Hailey. 'And you're really in front of my face.' 'I'm a father. I'm a dad' In a tone that shifted between angry and pleading, Bieber said he wanted to draw the line with all of the paparazzi that night. 'I'm not to be f—ked with by any of you,' he warned. Despite referring to the photographers as his 'friends,' he insisted they didn't have the right to question him. 'You just don't... we're not buddies,' he said. As the questions kept coming, Bieber began repeating 'no' over and over again. 'I'm a father. I'm a dad. And you guys are on private property in front of my car.' One photographer tried to ease the tension by wishing him a happy early Father's Day, which only intensified Bieber's frustration. 'I don't know you,' he said calmly. 'You don't go to people you don't know and say shit out of nowhere with a camera in their face. It doesn't matter if I'm a celebrity or not.' 'You think I am an idiot,' Justin tells Paps When the paparazzi defended themselves by claiming they were standing on a public sidewalk, Bieber accused them of constantly taking his words out of context. 'You'll take this video out of context like you always do,' he repeated. 'You think I'm an idiot, bro. I'm at my wit's f**king end, is what I am at.' He tried to explain that his anger wasn't about ego but about being disrespected. 'You confuse my anger with disrespect. It's anger because you're disrespecting me.' As the photographers kept pushing, Bieber warned them they were doing real emotional harm. 'You provoke, you provoke, you provoke. 'You think this is a game,' he said. 'Your job is at the expense of another human.' "I love my wife, I love my family. You provoke me, and it's sad." Its actually so sad that Justin has to constantly prove that he loves his own family & keeps getting harassed EVERYWHERE he goes like this is NOT normal at this pointFREE JUSTIN BIEBER Even after the paparazzi began to leave, they kept filming—prompting one final outburst. '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 shouted. 'You don't think I'm a real f—king guy, do you?' In closing, Bieber said, 'I don't know who the f–k's paying you to provoke me, but I'm not the f–king one. OK? Stop provoking me. I'm not to be f**ked with.' He told them their harassment wasn't just irritating—it was 'heart-aching.' As they finally walked away, Bieber left them with one last plea: 'Leave me the f**k alone. OK, thank you.' Amid ongoing speculation that Scooter Braun is funding a smear campaign, Justin Bieber confronted a paparazzo, saying, 'I don't know who's paying you,' confirming he's aware of targeted efforts to provoke and discredit him. Fans worry after ketamine references on Instagram This intense episode comes just days after Bieber stirred concern online for mentioning ketamine in several Instagram posts. While the context was unclear, the mention of the dissociative, which is used medically for treatment-resistant depression but also misused recreationally, triggered alarm among fans who have followed his long and very public struggle with mental health. Bieber has previously spoken out about his battles with anxiety, substance use, and the lasting trauma of growing up in the spotlight. His fans fear that the combination of online posts and real-life confrontations like this is harming his mental health more than ever before. Many are now urging the star to prioritise his well-being and take time away from the spotlight if needed.
