Justin Bieber has had a rough week in London. First, he reportedly got into a nightclub altercation over underage drinkers at his birthday party, and then he was welcomed by a chorus of boos after arriving two hours late to his Monday night show at the O2 Arena in London, and then, at another of his O2 shows last night, the 19-year-old singer collapsed backstage, causing a 20-minute delay before he eventually came back to finish out the show and immediately be taken to a nearby hospital. To finish out his rough week (TGIF right?), the Biebs has now been caught on tape going ballistic on a member of the London paparazzi!
While leaving his London hotel, Justin appeared to push a waiting paparazzo to the side, which apparently irritated another photographer in the crowd. “Easy, easy, that’s assault!” the man yelled as Justin got into his vehicle and closed the door.
When a member of Justin’s posse suggested that he was “in our way,” the disgruntled photographer then claimed to have moved out of the way and began to hurl insults, telling him, “F**k you, f**k off back to America.” He even called the Biebs a “f**king little moron.”
At that point, Justin exited the vehicle and lunged at the man saying, “What the f**k you say? What d’you say? I’ll f**king beat the f**k out of you, man!”
Here’s the clip:
Following the fight, Justin took to his Twitter and released the following statement:
“Ahhhhh! Rough morning. Trying to feel better for this show tonight but let the paps get the best of me…Sometimes when people r shoving cameras in your face all day and yelling the worst thing possible at u…well I’m human. Rough week. Not gonna let them get the best of me again. Gonna get focused on this show tonight. Adrenaline is high now. Gonna put it on the stage.”
As we mentioned above, Justin had to be taken to a London hospital following last night’s concert after the singer had difficulty breathing during his performance, then felt woozy, then collapsed backstage.
But fans can relax, or at least we assume they can, since the Biebs is obviously healthy enough to fight! Also, he shared the above photo from his hospital room along with the words, “Gettin better listening to Janice Joplin.” Just me and my Justin McBiebs, right?
Despite Justin’s health issues, he will be performing tonight in London. “Justin has been released from the hospital after a check-up and while he’s feeling a little under the weather, he’s currently planning on going ahead with tonight’s show,” his rep said in a statement.
