Pop star Justin Bieber was caught in a tense exchange with paparazzi outside Malibu’s Soho House on Thursday, sparking renewed concern among fans about his well-being. A video, first released by TMZ and widely shared on social media, shows Bieber visibly distressed as he confronts photographers who were filming him.
Bieber, 30, who shares a 9-month-old son, Jack Blues, with wife Hailey Bieber, approached the group alongside his security team, demanding personal space. Despite being greeted with a “Happy Father’s Day,” he launched into an emotional outburst. “We’re gonna set boundaries here today. I’m not afraid to set boundaries,” he said.
The singer accused the photographers of harassment, stating, “Stop provoking me. I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man.” He added that their presence on what he described as his “private property in front of my car” crossed a line.
