“Don’t thank me. I’m not asking you to be here,” Bieber responded. “I’m saying I don’t want you to be here. When you thank me, it’s disrespectful. Just take your pictures and let me do my thing.”
The footage sparked a debate among fans with some defending Bieber’s reaction, highlighting his long history with invasive media attention.
“There should be tighter laws against paparazzi. How is this NOT stalking/harassment???” one user wrote. Another commented, "This is not right on any level.”
Others praised Bieber for keeping his cool despite the circumstances. "I love he takes the time to explain it to them so they get his perspective", another fan wrote.
Meanwhile, Bieber’s representatives have denied recent allegations that the singer was under the influence of drugs following speculation about his behavior. Both Justin and Hailey have dismissed the rumors, calling them completely false, according to TMZ.
