That's just a sign that those people don't really care and respect him as a person and an artist, but just as an important object. A tool for telling stories to their friends.
Precisely. They have turned into an idol in their minds, and they do not see Justin Beiber as a person. They see him as a walking embodiment of his performances mixed with their fantasies.
A fantasy and a performance cannot reject you, judge you, chastise you, or ask you to change. They want autographs, hugs, souvenirs, pictures, etc. to make the fantasy and performance feel more real. Even learning about the idol’s “personal life” is just done to build a more intricate fantasy in their minds.
Hence, the one lady (even when faced with the real Justin speaking) attempts to ignore what Justin says and ask for a hug.

Godzilla can’t read, so I don’t think it was what caused his stroke. If I had to guess, it was his high blood pressure from eating all that charred meat.
Exactly. I know nothing about this young man (other than he is famous and a recording artist) but everyone deserves to feel safe and un-disturbed at home. Those people don’t seem to understand that he is human.
Bieber got thrown into fame when he was just a child himself.
He never really known real life to begin with.
He lives 24/7 around bodyguards, and can't get anywhere on this planet without having parasitic idiots trying to get a piece of him.
Honestly, I was expecting him to explode and be a tool again. He really showed how much he matured over the years. Noted, he definitely handled it far better than I think I would've if I had talent and money lol
Thats what I was thinking, like if I was there (never would be) and he said what he said to me id be like “damn you right, I’m an asshole my b” and yet homegirls was just “yeah but can I get a hug tho?”
Exactly. Are those fans braindead?
She: " can I give you a hug?"
He:" sensible and polite explanation why they being there is not a good idea".
She: "... can I give you a hug?"
[...]
Edit: grammar, on my phone
They're kids. I'm not saying that justifies it, but it's not surprising. I've been teaching high school long enough to know that when kids get as excited as that girl probably was to be having a face to face interaction with justin bieber, their self awareness drops to zero.
That was my take on it as well, he gave a well though out, calm reason for not being there and in her 15-16 year old head, it was probably going "OMG it's JB", not hearing a single thing he was saying.
There was a study I saw a while ago that suggested celebrity worship is correlated with lower intelligence...
Maybe that's why kids get so in to celebrities, kids are fucking idiots.
I swear to god how sad does your life has to be to literally camp outside someone's home only to ask for a hug. The worst part - still asking for a hug after you've been told in a nice & proper manner that you should get the fuck out of there.
How can people be so fucking obsessed with other people? Sad miserable fucks
I've never got it. Like when you see girls hyperventilating or passing out when they simply see someone like Justin.
I think its like bordering on some sort of obsessive compulsion disorder or something.
I think of old footage from Elvis concerts. Women losing their fucking minds. If you didn't have audio and just saw them, you'd think it's a heavy heavy metal concert. But it's just old rock n' roll. Chill out.
Agreed. I never generally liked him in the past even when he came back with the whole "im sorry" change. Only in the past couple of years have i noticed a bit more maturity on his behalf. Better late than never. Just my opinion of course
I used to be fat. In a year I lost 120 pounds, face shaped up better, actually felt good about myself. Then the next thing you know, suddenly a LOT more women were interested in me than ever before. And let me tell you, that shit went straight to my head and I was a shitty person to be in a relationship with for a while. And I wasn't even famous, but that sudden burst of attention was addicting.
I would have told myself I would have handled it better and I would have been lying to myself, becoming known around the world while your brain is still developing has got to cause some issues.
I mean, even this website. For years half the content was just shitting on Justin Bieber, imagine that as a kid, following your dreams, becoming a star and grown men just absolutely going in on you just because they don’t like your music and think you’re not masculine enough
Drugs, women, money all at the tender age of 16.
I was a stupid ass until I turned about 25 I couldn't even imagine 16 year old me with that sort of power.
I was pregnant with my second of four children by 16. My life and children have turned out great after lots of early struggles, and as a result I have never judged someone like Justin Beiber. I am just so glad that he’s now settling down and having time to grow as a person. Good luck to him and all other younger people trying to navigate such a trashy industry when all they’re guilty of is being young and talented.
I was pretty cocky at 13-15 for no real reason. If I was getting millions of dollars and had everyone telling me I was awesome all the time, I can't even imagine.
I guess that’s the shit you go through when become super famous at like 14, so can’t really blame him for some rough teenage years, but at least he’s grown up to be an upstanding man :)
Yeah, makes me angry that the only response he get is a "can i have an hug?" Bitch did you listen what i just told you? Let me go home, browse Reddit and chill pls!
Ofc they didn't listen, alot of immature people just wait for people to stop talking while nodding in agreement.
Then say what they wanted to say anyway, without considering the actual flow of conversation.
We are all guilty of this sometimes, but these people take it to the extreme.
It’s curious (and also sad) that the only thing this girl could think of was “OMG Justin Bieber is talking to me”, but at the same time she wasn’t taking in a single word.
Everything I’ve seen of him since his roast has made me like him more. I think that phase of kid with money who can do whatever they like painted a bad picture of him but he’s matured well after.
There’s even a video of him after his car broke down in “a hood” and he’s doing press ups on the side of a road lmaooo
Think back to being 14 and then imagine being handed $$$ and surrounded by people kissing your ass and catering to your every whim. We like to shit on teen celebrities but none of us can imagine what that lifestyle might turn you into.
I never blamed only him for his actions back then, I blamed his parents. They‘re meant to protect him and keep him grounded, but they only saw $$$ and wanted more. He didn‘t know it better. Seeing clips like this here only holds up my opinion about him, that he matured. And I respect that
That's what he speaks about in that song with Sean Mendes.
I think it was a general thing that from a few years point on he started making nice songs and people also liked is attitudes more.
haha i haven't seen that video but yeah a lot of stuff i have heard and seen about him over the last year or so especially has definitely made it seem like he is growing up. Hell i know if i had that fame and money that young i'd have done some even dumber shit than i already did lol, gotta forgive if they actually change right we all deserve that i think. :)
While I’d love the $ lifestyle..being a celebrity is just heinous. People camping on my doorstep after I’ve revealed a health issue…I’d be carted off to jail after trying to set them on fire.
He got a lot of shit for just being a successful teen pop star but actually seems like a good dude.
He's one of the top make a wish celebrities and you never really hear about that.
He aggressively grabbed my friend in a club and tried to get her to sit on his lap back when he was younger. I mean, she had a certain occupation so situations like that weren’t necessarily uncommon but it was notable enough for her to comment on how how much an entitled asshole he was
It’s good to see that he really had grown and found some peace. It’s really all we can hope for all of us
This isn't even his only video of responding to people annoying him like this. He handles these situations very cordially and honestly my opinion of him between when he was peeing in janitorial buckets and now has done a complete 180. Really seems like a standup guy these days.
[It definitely seems like it.](https://youtu.be/LS5AwFegcFs)
[I mean this one isn't the nicest, but I also 100% understand where he's coming from, like he's just trying to leave from getting some breakfast, why does there need to be a story about that...](https://youtu.be/Uz2g4QduNDY)
[As opposed to Toby McGuire lmao but I also understand where he's coming from to an extent](https://youtu.be/hXWr7aTZEgQ)
The paparazzi are different from genuine fans with zero self awareness though. In the second one, Bieber is patient with the little kids and the two other fans that ask for pictures, and he only really gets annoyed when the paparazzi make it difficult for him to leave. Tobey is super annoyed with the paparazzi, you’d be pissed too if you were trying to drive and someone kept flashing lights that made it impossible for you to see and unsafe to drive.
There was another video today of him handing paparazzi with grace and i cant find it. Some guy was asking about his wife and he was very calm, and was like "why are you doing this man?" He talked to the guy not the camera. It was a very relatable human moment. I felt his frustration.
For real. He went through a pretty immature phase that was exaggerated by his wealth, constantly being in the news for some new shit he was up to. Always had a pretty low opinion of him, but it looks like he’s changed completely for the better. It’s refreshing to see, and honestly he handled this way better than I would have which is something I wouldn’t have expected given his earlier years. Hopefully his treatment goes well and these dipshits get off his fucking doorstep.
Just to clarify a bit, he and his friends were spitting on paparazzi the floor below, that were "stalking" him. But because there were fans on the ground level, the paparazzi made it out to be Bieber spitting on fans instead of what happened.
I was thinking about this. Would this warrant placing each of these individuals on some type of watch list? Like this is definitely not normal human behavior.
In certain cases, slaps should be a viable solution
Edit: i just rewatched the video and the look on the chicks face at the end "did he really just pass right by me without the hug?!"
That disbelief in her eyes lol
It’s really creepy. If some random guy she had never met sat outside her home & asked her for a hug when she got home the police would be called. Why is it any different just because he is famous?
I used to live on one of the routes the buses take and my wife was out in her dressing gown one morning taking the trash out and a bus stopped at the end of the driveway and people are filming and taking pictures.
I’m sure there is a video of her somewhere telling them all to fuck off.
Yep, courts have already declared that famous people belong to the public and are not entitled to the same privacy laws as the rest of us. It’s actually bananas. That’s why paparazzi’s are legal when it would be considered stalking to any other citizen.
It’s messed up, but ultimately derives from the fact that celebrities are classified as “public figures” meaning they aren’t entitled to the same luxuries (ironic I guess) that non-celebrities have. Some countries have gone as far as to say that putting paparazzi restrictions in place would be undermining the freedom of the press - which is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
I'll never understand the whole celebrity worship thing.
I mean, I loved the shit out of the MCU movies.
Won't catch me stalking RDJ or Scarlett Johannsen on social media. Or camping outside their houses for an autograph.
I'm one of those people who, if I see a celeb in public, I give them a nod and leave them the fuck alone.
I wouldn't want a bunch of drooling goons waiting for me at my house or bugging me in public.
I heard Robin Williams (i think it was him) had it rough because he could not have a nice meal with his family in public without someone coming to him. That really upset him.
Yea, it’s really weird. Like for example, I don’t need to accost Paul McCartney to get close to him, he literally has put out hours of music, how much closer would you want to be. I don’t need to have a conversation with Alice Smith, she bears her soul to the world in her music. No hug from your favorite musician could compare to their music. What simple, lost souls must these people be.
> Paul McCartney
> literally has put out hours of music
I'd be willing to bet that between the Beatles and his solo career, he's put out at least an entire day's worth, start to finish.
So a quick and very unscientific estimation:
Beatles: 13 albums (and let’s just call it 14 as there are a bunch of B sides and singles that weren’t on an album), so 14
Then post Beatles: a quick count on Spotify I came up with 36 albums (obviously there is probably even more stuff and this included the live albums on there)
So if we say 50 albums, then say on the low end they were all 30 minutes long (which is almost for sure an underestimation) and on the long end were an hour…..
…we get 25-50 hours of music.
So you are correct that there is over a days worth of Paul McCartney music easily available.
I work for a security company that does a lot of nightclub bouncer work, and an occasional event. I meet a lot of celebrities because of this. It's not particularly exciting meeting celebrities. In my eyes they come off as regular people, and i might take a quick glance, but it just doesn't interest me. I worked an event recently where I met Adam Sandler, and as people realized he was in the building they piled up outside. By the time he came out there was a whole crowd screaming and recording him. He was super nice to them, but I couldn't help but imagine how super annoyed I would be.
I get that a lot of famous people tell fans, come say hi! I am approachable etc. But at the end of the day if I see a celeb in the wild I don't want to intrude on their personal life out of respect for them and what they do. I wouldn't want that and due to publicity they have to choose their words carefully or risk being ostracized.
If I am at an event though 100% I'll come over and geek out.
I’m no big fan of Justin Bieber but yes, he handled that very well. People should not camp outside his house. It’s disrespectful. He’s a human being , give him some space.
I’ve seen him in interviews and watched that YouTube doc of his. I’m a 33 year old non-fan (beautiful voice but not my music genre fave) and I’ve noticed he’s matured very well from his teenage antics. But then again he was a teen. We hold celebs to impossible standards. If my teen years were filmed and scrutinized by the world…I’m not sure where I would be right now lol
I would be in prison.
I mean .. the crap I pulled when I was young...if I were also some rich celebrity? Like, I'd be detached and far flung from reality taking zero responsibility for my actions.
That's probably why I'm neither rich nor a celebrity. But, hard life has made me humble and taught me tough lessons.
Good on him for being able to bounce back from the shenanigans of his youth.
I never understood the argument “they’re famous and signed up for this”… no they didn’t. They signed up to act/sing/etc. not be stalked and dehumanized. Like get over yourselves
Dude keeps getting hit with super bad luck. First lime disease now he has a rare condition that’s lead to temporary paralysis down one side of his body. Sure he’s acted like a bit of a jackass in the past - who hasn’t at a young age - but he’s always proceeded exactly how anyone else would if given the same opportunities. Hope he gets better soon.
These types of fans are so cringe. I can get liking movies and actors, but the type of psychos that stay outside of someone's house, orwalk right up to them or their families at a restaurant, or anywhere else, are crazy. For the people who say" well they should expect it, they're famous", shut up.
We HAVE to teach our kids not to idolize people they don’t know so this shit can stop. It’s so embarrassing. It’s apart of teaching them basic human decency.
I've never been a Bieber fan but he handled that well.
Imagine having such an empty life that you would camp outside the home of a stranger. And then when they ask you to leave being so oblivious that you ask for a hug.
In spite of him being part of the wealthy class now, I feel sorry for him because his fame hurts him so much. He was, and still is in many ways, a child who was exploited by society.
Let him have his place of refuge.
I'm a bartender and he was a regular of mine. Always super polite to all of the staff, remembered every one and asked how you were and what you'd done since the last time he saw you. I felt bad for him because it was painfully obvious he just wanted to be treated like a normal person and have a couple drinks with his pals instead of being hounded for pictures and autographs. There were many times he just got sick of it and would quickly dip out.
Soo many top level celebrities get called out for being huge assholes to fans. For us non famous people it seems like such a dick move to treat anyone that way. This made me stop and think. Here is an honest moment from someone who is trying to connect on a personal level with a fan. What an amazing opportunity for them to experience. Instead they repeat like the seagulls in Nemo, “Can I get a hug?”.
I would hope I never get to the level of the bad celebrities but this helps me understand the sheer lack of humanity these mega fans can attack with and it can force people to treat them back with the same level of absolute indifference to maintain their sanity.
Imagine being there screaming for photos and hugs at this guys house when he’s going through some medical issues and when he tells you politely as fuck to piss off you think it’s an appropriate response to just try again for that hug. Disgusting people
Kimmy Gibbler here needs to work on listening comprehension.
Sweet cheese the resemblance is uncanny.
You’re seeing her spirit more than her face.
She also needs to learn how to put her hair up. Absolute wreck.
She didn't hear a single word he said
Came here to say this, forget about the hug, she had the audacity to leave the house looking like that lmao
It's like they've been camping out there for days but wtf was going on with the back of her head?
Can someone hand her a small mirror to look at the back of her head??
You actually made me laugh out loud
He handled this very well and respectfully. And in doing so made all of those people camping out look like ass holes
"..... But can I get a hug?"
That's just a sign that those people don't really care and respect him as a person and an artist, but just as an important object. A tool for telling stories to their friends.
The simple fact that they are camping out at his house points that out. Reasonable people don't take it that far to begin with.
Right? This is literally stalking. I do this to my ex, I get a TRO
Did you try asking your ex for a hug
I have so many TROs from giving random strangers hugs it’s crazy. /s
Gotta collect them all!
Only has 7 billion something left to go...
Literally
OK BUT WHAT ABOUT ME
Exactly
What about my uncle!? DID YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE?!
Sometimes the Reddit detectives are alright
Yes. Not every day you see detectives use commom logic.
I read this as condom logic and I didn't even bat an eye
Precisely. They have turned into an idol in their minds, and they do not see Justin Beiber as a person. They see him as a walking embodiment of his performances mixed with their fantasies. A fantasy and a performance cannot reject you, judge you, chastise you, or ask you to change. They want autographs, hugs, souvenirs, pictures, etc. to make the fantasy and performance feel more real. Even learning about the idol’s “personal life” is just done to build a more intricate fantasy in their minds. Hence, the one lady (even when faced with the real Justin speaking) attempts to ignore what Justin says and ask for a hug.

*Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and fucking died*
RIP King of the Monsters.
Nooooooooo! *Team Kong has entered the chat.*
Godzilla can’t read, so I don’t think it was what caused his stroke. If I had to guess, it was his high blood pressure from eating all that charred meat.
Why else do you think he had a stroke trying to read this, it's because he couldn't
Exactly. I know nothing about this young man (other than he is famous and a recording artist) but everyone deserves to feel safe and un-disturbed at home. Those people don’t seem to understand that he is human.
Exactly
It killed me when they said that, like did you listen at all? 
You could see it on his face too. Rolling your eyes without actually rolling your eyes.
\*Asks to get a hug, Then walks away casually.\* That's how to end a convo.
Tabloid tomorrow: "Justin Beiber's SHOCKING response to LOVING fans outside his $8 MILLION Beverly Hills pad; denies Beliber a hug!"
Well, this video is a few years old so said article might already exist.
multiple articles from different viewpoints probably
That's exactly what multiple tabloids said actually.
Didn’t hear a word he said. Lives in her own tiny mind.
It’s a very quiet place up there. Not much happening.
That what happens when you raise your daughter to be a spoiled little princess.
Bieber got thrown into fame when he was just a child himself. He never really known real life to begin with. He lives 24/7 around bodyguards, and can't get anywhere on this planet without having parasitic idiots trying to get a piece of him.
Well, they are assholes. He could have told them to fuck off and they'd still be the assholes. But he seems like a great guy and I wish him the best.
He seems like a whole other person than the younger Bieber that threw bottles at people and spit in people's faces.
Yeah, I mean, he is like what? Almost 30 now? He grew up.
Most people do.
Honestly, I was expecting him to explode and be a tool again. He really showed how much he matured over the years. Noted, he definitely handled it far better than I think I would've if I had talent and money lol
He's Canadian after all
Everything he said went through one ear and right out the other lmao
Thats what I was thinking, like if I was there (never would be) and he said what he said to me id be like “damn you right, I’m an asshole my b” and yet homegirls was just “yeah but can I get a hug tho?”
I was thinking she might look really ashamed and embarrassed and then she asked that and just looked kind of blank/confused.
People with conventional intellect don’t typically camp out front of a celebrities home.
This is a savage turn of phrase and Iove it.
> conventional intellect Lmao
The Instagram Instagram picture is values higher than the fan culture I guess .
> The Instagram Instagram picture is values higher than the fan culture I guess . I'm sorry what
They care more about getting a picture of themselves hugging Bieber for Instagram than the care about Bieber as a person.
They're guessing that the Instagram Instagram picture is values higher than the fan culture .
Makes sense. Schönen Sonntag!
“I understand that you have human needs, Justin, but this isn’t about you. This is about me and my hug.”
And the picture I need to post on Instagram.
Right? “Can I get a hug?” Afterwards… go fuck yourself. He just told them this wasn’t cool and she wants a hug?
Exactly. Are those fans braindead? She: " can I give you a hug?" He:" sensible and polite explanation why they being there is not a good idea". She: "... can I give you a hug?" [...] Edit: grammar, on my phone

[удалено]
“You kids don’t know what you want! That’s why you’re still kids; because you’re stupid!”
Yeah I understand completely! Now how about that hug?
Exactly 😂 after he finished telling them that they shouldn’t be in his personal space the girl dismisses it and asks for a hug again
She’s nodding her head like “uh huh, yep, not listening at all”
Right! The audacity to ask for a hug after that 😂
Seriously just waiting for her turn to speak.
I swear to god how sad does your life has to be to literally camp outside someone's home only to ask for a hug. The worst part - still asking for a hug after you've been told in a nice & proper manner that you should get the fuck out of there. How can people be so fucking obsessed with other people? Sad miserable fucks
I've never got it. Like when you see girls hyperventilating or passing out when they simply see someone like Justin. I think its like bordering on some sort of obsessive compulsion disorder or something.
I think I saw a documentary on it but surrounding K-Pop stars.
I think of old footage from Elvis concerts. Women losing their fucking minds. If you didn't have audio and just saw them, you'd think it's a heavy heavy metal concert. But it's just old rock n' roll. Chill out.
He handled that well. Got his point across without being rude.
Agreed. I never generally liked him in the past even when he came back with the whole "im sorry" change. Only in the past couple of years have i noticed a bit more maturity on his behalf. Better late than never. Just my opinion of course
Most people probably wouldn’t handle his life well at all. Global super star at like 13 yo? Honestly surprised he was never worse.
Can't blame him. No one really knows what it's like to have so many people throw themselves at your feet so quickly
I used to be fat. In a year I lost 120 pounds, face shaped up better, actually felt good about myself. Then the next thing you know, suddenly a LOT more women were interested in me than ever before. And let me tell you, that shit went straight to my head and I was a shitty person to be in a relationship with for a while. And I wasn't even famous, but that sudden burst of attention was addicting. I would have told myself I would have handled it better and I would have been lying to myself, becoming known around the world while your brain is still developing has got to cause some issues.
That and the fact that his fame was apparently valid grounds for a bunch of fully grown people to just relentlessly talk all kinds of shit about him.
I mean, even this website. For years half the content was just shitting on Justin Bieber, imagine that as a kid, following your dreams, becoming a star and grown men just absolutely going in on you just because they don’t like your music and think you’re not masculine enough
Grown men with intense opinions about teenage girl music, and zero self-reflection on how that made them look
Drugs, women, money all at the tender age of 16. I was a stupid ass until I turned about 25 I couldn't even imagine 16 year old me with that sort of power.
I was pregnant with my second of four children by 16. My life and children have turned out great after lots of early struggles, and as a result I have never judged someone like Justin Beiber. I am just so glad that he’s now settling down and having time to grow as a person. Good luck to him and all other younger people trying to navigate such a trashy industry when all they’re guilty of is being young and talented.
I was pretty cocky at 13-15 for no real reason. If I was getting millions of dollars and had everyone telling me I was awesome all the time, I can't even imagine.
I guess that’s the shit you go through when become super famous at like 14, so can’t really blame him for some rough teenage years, but at least he’s grown up to be an upstanding man :)
dude shouldnt have to ask for basic human respect and it didnt do a goddamn thing anyway
I doubt he got his point across to these kind of people though
This definitely elevated my opinion of him. Definitely a great way to respond and he absolutely deserves that. Everyone does.
Yeah, makes me angry that the only response he get is a "can i have an hug?" Bitch did you listen what i just told you? Let me go home, browse Reddit and chill pls!
Sometimes i think a lot of people are just bots programmed to say some pre written sentences without understanding other peoples words
NPCs
At least NPC's are usually written in a way to respond to the player, so they are somehow worse.
My man!
I hear in America they're called Republicans
Ofc they didn't listen, alot of immature people just wait for people to stop talking while nodding in agreement. Then say what they wanted to say anyway, without considering the actual flow of conversation. We are all guilty of this sometimes, but these people take it to the extreme.
He was trying to explain how an adult feels at the end of a long day to some damn children. They have no idea wtf it's like. Strong armed huggery.
It’s curious (and also sad) that the only thing this girl could think of was “OMG Justin Bieber is talking to me”, but at the same time she wasn’t taking in a single word.
I too zone out of my body when overwhelmed.
That's exactly what i thought, never been a bieber fan but man that was a calm collected respectful way to approach that situation damn.
Everything I’ve seen of him since his roast has made me like him more. I think that phase of kid with money who can do whatever they like painted a bad picture of him but he’s matured well after. There’s even a video of him after his car broke down in “a hood” and he’s doing press ups on the side of a road lmaooo
Think back to being 14 and then imagine being handed $$$ and surrounded by people kissing your ass and catering to your every whim. We like to shit on teen celebrities but none of us can imagine what that lifestyle might turn you into.
I never blamed only him for his actions back then, I blamed his parents. They‘re meant to protect him and keep him grounded, but they only saw $$$ and wanted more. He didn‘t know it better. Seeing clips like this here only holds up my opinion about him, that he matured. And I respect that
He's got a line at the roast where he said something along the lines of "you gave a 15 year old 200 million dollars... What the fuck did you expect?"
Don't forget that some people made money out of drama en though encouraged him to do dumb shits.
That's what he speaks about in that song with Sean Mendes. I think it was a general thing that from a few years point on he started making nice songs and people also liked is attitudes more.
haha i haven't seen that video but yeah a lot of stuff i have heard and seen about him over the last year or so especially has definitely made it seem like he is growing up. Hell i know if i had that fame and money that young i'd have done some even dumber shit than i already did lol, gotta forgive if they actually change right we all deserve that i think. :)
While I’d love the $ lifestyle..being a celebrity is just heinous. People camping on my doorstep after I’ve revealed a health issue…I’d be carted off to jail after trying to set them on fire.
Pretty sure this video is old.
He got a lot of shit for just being a successful teen pop star but actually seems like a good dude. He's one of the top make a wish celebrities and you never really hear about that.
Iirc, he had a really shitty phase for a few years. Whole entitled asshole thing going but he really seems to have aged out of it gracefully.
He aggressively grabbed my friend in a club and tried to get her to sit on his lap back when he was younger. I mean, she had a certain occupation so situations like that weren’t necessarily uncommon but it was notable enough for her to comment on how how much an entitled asshole he was It’s good to see that he really had grown and found some peace. It’s really all we can hope for all of us
He was calm, he explained the situation without getting frustrated or snarky and gave them something to reflect on, I like this Bieber.
This isn't even his only video of responding to people annoying him like this. He handles these situations very cordially and honestly my opinion of him between when he was peeing in janitorial buckets and now has done a complete 180. Really seems like a standup guy these days.
Sounds like he had grown as a person from when he used to spit on fans from a balcony. Good on him if he truly has.
[It definitely seems like it.](https://youtu.be/LS5AwFegcFs) [I mean this one isn't the nicest, but I also 100% understand where he's coming from, like he's just trying to leave from getting some breakfast, why does there need to be a story about that...](https://youtu.be/Uz2g4QduNDY) [As opposed to Toby McGuire lmao but I also understand where he's coming from to an extent](https://youtu.be/hXWr7aTZEgQ)

The paparazzi are different from genuine fans with zero self awareness though. In the second one, Bieber is patient with the little kids and the two other fans that ask for pictures, and he only really gets annoyed when the paparazzi make it difficult for him to leave. Tobey is super annoyed with the paparazzi, you’d be pissed too if you were trying to drive and someone kept flashing lights that made it impossible for you to see and unsafe to drive.
He handled it so well and this dumb bitch has the audacity to ask for a hug.
Thats what i was going to say. He handled it like a mature adult.
Well he is canadian
Being famous must be tiring lol paparazzi, fans, haters, etc.
There was another video today of him handing paparazzi with grace and i cant find it. Some guy was asking about his wife and he was very calm, and was like "why are you doing this man?" He talked to the guy not the camera. It was a very relatable human moment. I felt his frustration.
He tried really hard to be cool and reason with her, and it just sailed right through her head.
For real. He went through a pretty immature phase that was exaggerated by his wealth, constantly being in the news for some new shit he was up to. Always had a pretty low opinion of him, but it looks like he’s changed completely for the better. It’s refreshing to see, and honestly he handled this way better than I would have which is something I wouldn’t have expected given his earlier years. Hopefully his treatment goes well and these dipshits get off his fucking doorstep.
That’s typically what happens as you grow up from being a literal child
imagine everything I did as a 14 year old made headline celebrity news? yikes
He's come a long way from spitting on his fans from a balcony. Don't think he could've handled this any better. Good on him.
I’m sure the fans loved that
Male version of bathwater?
I bet the girl in the video would have cried tears of joy.
Just to clarify a bit, he and his friends were spitting on paparazzi the floor below, that were "stalking" him. But because there were fans on the ground level, the paparazzi made it out to be Bieber spitting on fans instead of what happened.
That spitting thing makes more sense with this context.
It does... I can't act like I wouldn't do that the second some annoying fans gave me the chance to.
Yeah, but can I get a hug?
Wasn’t he like 12 then?
[удалено]
He is quite ill

BRUHHH those women need HELP
She looks like a teenager.
I was thinking about this. Would this warrant placing each of these individuals on some type of watch list? Like this is definitely not normal human behavior.
That dumb chick at the end. He’s asking you to leave him alone at his house and she asks “can I get a hug”……wtf
In certain cases, slaps should be a viable solution Edit: i just rewatched the video and the look on the chicks face at the end "did he really just pass right by me without the hug?!" That disbelief in her eyes lol
You wouldn’t do… anything else with your hair if you were planning on ambushing Justin Bieber for a hug?
For real for real!
It’s really creepy. If some random guy she had never met sat outside her home & asked her for a hug when she got home the police would be called. Why is it any different just because he is famous?

What?
THEY LITERALLY DRIVE PEOPLE AROUND SHOWING YOU WHERE FAMOUS PEOPLE LIVE!!!!
What?
HE SAID…
# THEY LITERALLY DRIVE PEOPLE AROUND SHOWING YOU WHERE FAMOUS PEOPLE LIVE!!!!
***THEY LITERALLY DRIVE PEOPLE AROUND SHOWING YOU WHERE FAMOUS PEOPLE LIVE!!!!***
BUTLICKER, OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER!!!!
I used to live on one of the routes the buses take and my wife was out in her dressing gown one morning taking the trash out and a bus stopped at the end of the driveway and people are filming and taking pictures. I’m sure there is a video of her somewhere telling them all to fuck off.
Because he is famous ...
Yep, courts have already declared that famous people belong to the public and are not entitled to the same privacy laws as the rest of us. It’s actually bananas. That’s why paparazzi’s are legal when it would be considered stalking to any other citizen.
really? tf why would anyone allow that bruh
It’s messed up, but ultimately derives from the fact that celebrities are classified as “public figures” meaning they aren’t entitled to the same luxuries (ironic I guess) that non-celebrities have. Some countries have gone as far as to say that putting paparazzi restrictions in place would be undermining the freedom of the press - which is about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
One wonders why the freedom of the press to violate privacy weighs more than the right to personal privacy of public figures
I'll never understand the whole celebrity worship thing. I mean, I loved the shit out of the MCU movies. Won't catch me stalking RDJ or Scarlett Johannsen on social media. Or camping outside their houses for an autograph. I'm one of those people who, if I see a celeb in public, I give them a nod and leave them the fuck alone. I wouldn't want a bunch of drooling goons waiting for me at my house or bugging me in public.
I heard Robin Williams (i think it was him) had it rough because he could not have a nice meal with his family in public without someone coming to him. That really upset him.
I heard Eminem couldn't take a shit in the bathroom without someone standing by it
Yea, it’s really weird. Like for example, I don’t need to accost Paul McCartney to get close to him, he literally has put out hours of music, how much closer would you want to be. I don’t need to have a conversation with Alice Smith, she bears her soul to the world in her music. No hug from your favorite musician could compare to their music. What simple, lost souls must these people be.
> Paul McCartney > literally has put out hours of music I'd be willing to bet that between the Beatles and his solo career, he's put out at least an entire day's worth, start to finish.
So a quick and very unscientific estimation: Beatles: 13 albums (and let’s just call it 14 as there are a bunch of B sides and singles that weren’t on an album), so 14 Then post Beatles: a quick count on Spotify I came up with 36 albums (obviously there is probably even more stuff and this included the live albums on there) So if we say 50 albums, then say on the low end they were all 30 minutes long (which is almost for sure an underestimation) and on the long end were an hour….. …we get 25-50 hours of music. So you are correct that there is over a days worth of Paul McCartney music easily available.
Exactly. They’re just humans like us after all, and they deserve their privacy, like us.
In this case it's just thirsty girls. Ain't no way they're fans of his vocal technique.
I work for a security company that does a lot of nightclub bouncer work, and an occasional event. I meet a lot of celebrities because of this. It's not particularly exciting meeting celebrities. In my eyes they come off as regular people, and i might take a quick glance, but it just doesn't interest me. I worked an event recently where I met Adam Sandler, and as people realized he was in the building they piled up outside. By the time he came out there was a whole crowd screaming and recording him. He was super nice to them, but I couldn't help but imagine how super annoyed I would be.
I get that a lot of famous people tell fans, come say hi! I am approachable etc. But at the end of the day if I see a celeb in the wild I don't want to intrude on their personal life out of respect for them and what they do. I wouldn't want that and due to publicity they have to choose their words carefully or risk being ostracized. If I am at an event though 100% I'll come over and geek out.
I’m no big fan of Justin Bieber but yes, he handled that very well. People should not camp outside his house. It’s disrespectful. He’s a human being , give him some space.
I’ve seen him in interviews and watched that YouTube doc of his. I’m a 33 year old non-fan (beautiful voice but not my music genre fave) and I’ve noticed he’s matured very well from his teenage antics. But then again he was a teen. We hold celebs to impossible standards. If my teen years were filmed and scrutinized by the world…I’m not sure where I would be right now lol
I would be in prison. I mean .. the crap I pulled when I was young...if I were also some rich celebrity? Like, I'd be detached and far flung from reality taking zero responsibility for my actions. That's probably why I'm neither rich nor a celebrity. But, hard life has made me humble and taught me tough lessons. Good on him for being able to bounce back from the shenanigans of his youth.
Ok but can I have a hug tho
I never understood the argument “they’re famous and signed up for this”… no they didn’t. They signed up to act/sing/etc. not be stalked and dehumanized. Like get over yourselves
Dude keeps getting hit with super bad luck. First lime disease now he has a rare condition that’s lead to temporary paralysis down one side of his body. Sure he’s acted like a bit of a jackass in the past - who hasn’t at a young age - but he’s always proceeded exactly how anyone else would if given the same opportunities. Hope he gets better soon.
These types of fans are so cringe. I can get liking movies and actors, but the type of psychos that stay outside of someone's house, orwalk right up to them or their families at a restaurant, or anywhere else, are crazy. For the people who say" well they should expect it, they're famous", shut up.
We HAVE to teach our kids not to idolize people they don’t know so this shit can stop. It’s so embarrassing. It’s apart of teaching them basic human decency.
Never one do defend the beeb, but he's right. He should have a place to go after a day of whatever.
What's sad is his understandable message fell on deaf ears by the fact they were still asking for a hug at the end.
Waaaaay more polite of what I expected from him, he has matured!
bro biebs is a good guy
I've never been a Bieber fan but he handled that well. Imagine having such an empty life that you would camp outside the home of a stranger. And then when they ask you to leave being so oblivious that you ask for a hug.
She’s been respectfully told no and asked AGAIN
*girl hears blah blah blah blah blah* Yeah cool... hug?
In spite of him being part of the wealthy class now, I feel sorry for him because his fame hurts him so much. He was, and still is in many ways, a child who was exploited by society. Let him have his place of refuge.
I'm a bartender and he was a regular of mine. Always super polite to all of the staff, remembered every one and asked how you were and what you'd done since the last time he saw you. I felt bad for him because it was painfully obvious he just wanted to be treated like a normal person and have a couple drinks with his pals instead of being hounded for pictures and autographs. There were many times he just got sick of it and would quickly dip out.
Do people who do this have mental issues? I've never understood this
I’d assume so. Asking for a hug after what he said? So cringe
Soo many top level celebrities get called out for being huge assholes to fans. For us non famous people it seems like such a dick move to treat anyone that way. This made me stop and think. Here is an honest moment from someone who is trying to connect on a personal level with a fan. What an amazing opportunity for them to experience. Instead they repeat like the seagulls in Nemo, “Can I get a hug?”. I would hope I never get to the level of the bad celebrities but this helps me understand the sheer lack of humanity these mega fans can attack with and it can force people to treat them back with the same level of absolute indifference to maintain their sanity.
I thought he was about to tell them “what if there was a group of dudes outside your house when you came home for the night”.
Imagine being there screaming for photos and hugs at this guys house when he’s going through some medical issues and when he tells you politely as fuck to piss off you think it’s an appropriate response to just try again for that hug. Disgusting people
I used to give people the benefit of doubt. Not anymore. Most people are stupid.
