Singer Justin Bieber is in an unlikely feud with a Geordie Shore star after complaining about getting snapped by paparazzi in Los Angeles. The Peaches singer recently concerned fans with his public appearances and was recently filmed yelling at photographers for harassing him and ‘only wanting money’.
He later shared a video with fans on Instagram and wrote in the caption: “This has to stop.” The footage, which was filmed from Justin’s perspective, shows him leaving a property to be greeted by paparazzi on the street. Flashes of light are seen as photos are taken of the Grammy Award winner and Hailey, who was with him.
As the couple are being directed towards a car parked nearby, someone, seemingly in their entourage, warns: “Watch out, guys. Watch out, watch out.” Justin is then heard saying amid the flashes: “Look at these guys, man!”
Moments later, someone urges, “Guys, can you back up please?” As photographers stand in front of the vehicle, Justin gets closer; someone appears to tell them, “Yo, watch out!” Justin appears to once again say, “Look at these guys.”
Hailey is briefly seen behind Justin as she gets into the car. An apparent member of their team then appears to shine a torch towards paparazzi before saying: “You guys done? Go ahead. Go, y’all good. Go!”
There is tension as words are exchanged before Justin gets into the car, as the video ends. Not long after, he compared himself to Princess Diana as he declared he was “getting hit from all angles” amid growing concern about his wellbeing. Justin, 31, mentioned Princess Diana, who died in 1997 whilst being pursued by paparazzi, in a picture of a lion on Instagram.
While most had sympathy for Justin, Casey Johnson, who is in a relationship with Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson, questioned why the singer would continue living in LA if he felt hounded by the paparazzi.
The former X Factor star, who was also in a boy band called Stereo Kicks, said under Justin’s post: “Why don’t you move somewhere else then? Why stay in LA?”
Another person also posted: “LEAVE LOS ANGELES.” Another user posted: “I drive by Drake’s house everyday on our way home from school. Never seen a paparazzi. That’s LA for you! Move to Toronto!”
After noticing some of the comments telling him to leave Los Angeles, he hit back with a post shared on his Stories. He wrote: “Everyone telling me to move from LA. U think i’m gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?
“How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness? I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood. It’s embarrassing but with that said, I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son.
“I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And be a proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY.”
