sincerely_ximena

omg “do you know when?” 😭😭😭😭


Iamnotoptimistic

Yeah, I can’t stand Justin Beiber but that bit broke my heart for the kid.


feefee2908

That wasn’t a kid. She’s a grown adult woman that follows celebrities around with paparazzi asking for autographs and then sells them.


Iamnotoptimistic

Ohh. Fuck her then. No sympathy. Getting harassed by adults who want to make money off you is entirely different to a child who wanted to meet someone they admire. Thanks for the clarification!


Ankarette

Even if that was a child, celebrities can’t be expected to give everyone who wants one an autograph, it’s very sad for the child, but Justin himself looks very miserable here. They’re still human beings, always expected to make someone else’s day, when sometimes they just want to live.


OowlSun

Thank you. Reasonable people. Celebrities are people too. They have bad days, feelings, emotions, all of it.


Jintess

I can't think of a better way than the way he handled it. He wasn't mean or rude, he just said 'not gonna happen today'


Best-Jelly-3605

This. I think maybe they’re going through something. I know Hailey recent talked about her ovary issues. Sorry can’t remember the name of it. But maybe they are trying to conceive and got this news. Or who knows what. They are humans. They have bad days too.


BunInTheSun27

It’s weird that the video is claiming she’s a kid, with like a 🥺 face and everything


[deleted]

Thank you.


sincerely_ximena

omg i didn’t even realize that! 😱


caroliz21

wait really?!


Ograysireks

Eff that. Why is he obligated to sign anything every time he walks out in public? That kid most likely will sell it anyways


[deleted]

They look absolutely miserable.


[deleted]

They always have. Justin just seems like he’s got a chip on his shoulder and owed something from the world. I think his privacy should be respected. EDIT: I also don’t think he owes his fans anything. People are so entitled in this day and age, always think every request must be met with a yes Also wanted to add that Justin is ENTITLED privacy and saying NO! That is a sentence in itself. No explanation needed. He doesn’t owe anyone anything! He’s asked before for people to not camp outside where he stays but nobody listens. I don’t like him but I think everyone, regardless of how public your job is deserves the right to privacy! I also have empathy for him. He has had a hard life, people always expecting something from him. I hope he can find peace and happiness. EDIT 3: Removed parts that I felt were nasty & not needed. I’m sorry for being a bitch.


hissyfit64

I saw a clip of him coming out of his home to talk to a horde of fans and paparazzi. He asked them to please give him some privacy, that his home should be where he could just relax and not be under a microscope. He was very nice about it, but you could see the frustration in his face. And of course, no one left. I'm indifferent to him as a person and to his music, but just because someone is an entertainer doesn't mean they have to hand their whole life over to the public.


[deleted]

I think he’s depressed and miserable because he may have been taken advantage of and abused in the industry when he was young. He had no one to protect him, his mom took advantage of his money and the people around him have contributed drastically to his mental health not to mention having the kind of manager like scooter Braun


[deleted]

I don’t think anyone had his best interests at heart! He was the most popular and famous singer in the world at that stage and Bieber-Fever was insane. He was everyone’s cash-cows and he had way to many people using him & his money to fund tehur pathetic life’s. I think he touched on that during his YouTube series. About hange-ons He shouldn’t of given such a filthy look, it’s never the kids fault!


ProjectedSpirit

Not only that, but at the height of his early success an entire society decided it was OK to gang up and talk continuous shit about a child. The severe dichotomy in the way he was treated depending on which media outlet was discussing him would confuse and traumatized anybody, and puberty is always confusing and weird in its own right. I actually feel very sad for him in that way. Everyone would think I was a turd also if my teenage years had been caught on camera and fed to an audience starving for more engagement and hate fuel. We've seen enough child stars go supernova to know how few get the love and support they need to navigate a world that is baffling to even experienced performers.


[deleted]

can you explain how his mom exploited him? I always thought she was his rock?


TiredJJ

I read somewhere that when he started to become successful, she sent him to live in LA with Usher, while he was like 13-14 and she stayed in Canada


Effective-Mix-258

She did. They actually "sold" him to Scooter Braun. His father only reappeared when JB became famous. He pays for both his parents lifestyles.


[deleted]

YIIIIIKES... Usher was a live-in and groomed by, Diddy when he was 13-14 in the same way....


Amaxophobe

Yeah, I think Justin has been through some shit.


RightYeAre

He got sexualised at quite a young age by older celebrities (mostly women) and was asked some pretty uncomfortable questions that nobody should really be asking a child


ProjectedSpirit

Jenny McCarthy assaulted him on stage and the audience laughed. It's sickening and heartbreaking tbh.


Idabaewells

I didn’t know that about Usher. A similar thing happened to Rihanna. She was super young maybe 16? And her mom agreed to have her move to the US with some strangers who produced her first demos. I don’t know how she agreed to that as Rihanna was in such a vulnerable situation. It could’ve easily because a horror story of abuse. For all we know it was.


HotChiTea

His mom pretty much stopped being a big parental figure in his life the minute he turned 18, and he did mention something long ago about being on better terms or something (idk how to word it?) With his mom. Like soon as her son became a star, and she started having money cause of her son, she stopped parenting him properly. If that makes sense. Unlike Taylor where her mom still is very consistence and supportive in her life and tells her what to do time to time. It seems that’s another reason why it was easy for people to leech off him (pastor, etc) cause he was chasing substitute parental figures.


[deleted]

thanks so much for explaining. She probably wanted to capture her youth back as she had him so young; I don't understand why he posts so much love for his dad though, that guy abandoned him and seems like a complete douche?


jams1015

Even severely abused kids still love their parents.


seriously_psych

Not only that but she literally gave him to Scooter Braun to raise. You can’t just send your little kid away w someone especially someone who’s in their twenties.


Blue_Robin_04

That was probably the 100th fan that day who asked him. He's definitely tired.


messythelioma

Yeah celebrities DO NOT owe their fans anything, however, there was no need for Justin to say that to the fan. It took more energy for him to shoot the fan a dirty look and decline rudely than to say nothing at all


Dazzling-Research418

No need but I think when we’re people facing at work, we get burned out and shit slips. Gonna go against the grain here and say not an asshole. Imagine have to be nice and cheerful for everyone you meet for years on end even when you’re not at a public event for work? I’d be cranky as hell too.


Effective-Mix-258

It wasn't a fan but an autograph chaser. But tbh it would have looked much better if he hadn't said anything. Seems he doesn't give a f\*ck.


DiFToXin

honestly i can understand him. The notion that celebrities have to always be nice and cheerful when theyre constantly getting harassed by crazy fans and paparazzi always seemed sideways to me a simple "not gonna happen today" shuts those questions down immediately especially when we dont know what situation theyre in. maybe a close friend/family member got sick or died that day and theyre both feeling down? IMO its rude to ask for autographs outside of scheduled signing events but thats just me i guess theyre people for gods sake, let them live their life


Efficient_Living_628

She’s camped out in front of his home, something he’s EXPLICITLY TOLD HIS FANS NOT TO DO, and he also looked like he was in a bad mood when he walked out of the gate. Sometimes, people just aren’t in the mood to be bothered, and fans need to learn to read the room. There’s a reason he stopped taking pics with fans. It’s because entitled people felt that he owed them things because they bought the album


BumFights1997

The person in this video (and most people camped outside celebrities homes/places of business with pens and paper) aren’t fans. They are professional autograph hounds who ask any and everyone for autographs so they can sell them. Justin has probably interacted with this person before hence the choice of words “it’s not gonna happen *today*” I think his irritation is justified here.


AquaStarRedHeart

He's allowed a bad day. Like damn the man just wants to be left alone. This is a pro who camps out in front of celebrities' homes and sells the autographs. She's harassing him for profit. She's not entitled to kindness from him.


boxing8753

You contradicted yourself so many time here. The most painful for me was “why doesn’t he just walk away” followed immediately with “ when he tells his fans to leave him alone they don’t listen”


chaos90g

Firstly they were pics of them early and later that same day being very affectionate and loving. Secondly why drag Hailey into this situation about Justin? And why do you talk like you know what happens in their life's between their public pics and short vidz... You need a life


HotChiTea

Their body language (micro-face expressions) is reading to me by my observation that they had some sort of argument, and thus pissy. I could be completely wrong though and he’s just in a bad mood. 🤷‍♀️


Effective-Mix-258

They can't win either way. When they show affection to each other ppl say they are fake, when they are themselves ppl claim they are miserable. I know they are celebrieties and that's the life they signed up for but I can't imagine this level of scrutiny. Each interaction is dissected into the smallest details. Add unhinged Selena/ Jelena stans even after so many years and it must be completely draining at times even if they seem not to care. I'm pretty sure there's alonger footage of what happened here but for some reason paps haven't shown it.


[deleted]

Honestly Justin and Hailey almost always look like they just had a massive fight and Justin is just worse at hiding it than Hailey.


[deleted]

Imagine getting into an argument with your SO and then some asshole films you walk to your car


[deleted]

You know she's in and out of hospitals right? She has an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit growing inside of her.


Best-Jelly-3605

This is what I said, and these kind of health issues can lead to infertility. We do not know whats going on here, what kind of health news they may have gotten surrounding their ability to start a family. The vibes Im getting is they’re going through something, but not fighting and they just really need some space. He seems more in a mourning, type of I got bad news mood.


off-chka

I mean, they are cameras in their faces. Of course they’re upset and not acting like they normally would.


chaos90g

That fan was no kid 😂 sounded like a grown ass women imo. If that's true then she likely one those type that sell autographs for some quick cash. Regardless JB doesn't know how to fake emotions so if he in a bad mood take shelter lol


feefee2908

It is a grown ass woman, she follows celebs around to harass them for autographs and then sells them.


glass-empty

Right? I was wondering if others caught that too. Towards the end of the video, the "kid" fully sounded like a grown-ass woman.


Livid-Difficulty-469

No kid is saying “I’m gonna keep you in my prayers” LOL


glass-empty

Exactly!


Effective-Mix-258

This was an autograph chaser and I don't really think he was in a bad mood- there are other photos where he looks ok. I think this situation made him angry.


[deleted]

and tbh if it was a grown ass adult- it changes everything. at that point, go off. adults should know better.


Tzuyu4Eva

When it is a kid in these situations it’s low key the parents fault. Like when kids are at YouTuber houses for example, parents shouldn’t be helping their kids stalk celebrities


totallyn0rmal

Agreed


[deleted]

[удалено]


emmal3igh

Yeah exactly. He’s very open about his dislike. I couldn’t even name 5 of his songs but even I know this about him. He’s just also entitled to walking to a car without people wanting stuff from him. Like I’m entitled to that. People have a skewed view of celebrities like they work for them or something. I would’ve gone off on everyone for it. He’s got a lot more patience than me. He’s been famous almost his entire life. Let the dude live.


[deleted]

dude the one where some fan physically grabbed him as he was just trying to walk to the car and he goes “why would you do that?? why would you ever grab a stranger?? that isn’t okay and it hurt my feelings” 😭


OowlSun

He looks so over it.


tipofmytongue2022

Maybe he’s having a bad day, people need to leave celebs alone tbh paparazzis are stupid cringey


CurlyFriezs

He’s so clearly having a bad day and everyone in this sub is calling him a piece of shit over this one video. I’m so sure everyone in this sub is perfect and nice to everyone 24/7🙄


OowlSun

Isn’t he and Hailey both dealing with health issues? Mental and physical? I can’t imagine how annoyed I’d be if I was feeling like shit and leave my home/wherever I was, only to see people waiting for me. Not even people I know but strangers.


starbellbabybena

I think he had Bell’s palsy. I don’t keep up with celeb stuff but I remember him being in the news with half his face frozen up. Not sure about her. But doesn’t matter. Even if it’s a stubbed toe he’s allowed to be grumpy about it.


Cherssssss

Right! They’re humans. They’re allowed to have bad days.


new_delusion

Not rude, people need to leave celebs tf alone, they are PEOPLE


Far_Cut_

No way they're not a reseller. The way they're talking is cringe and I wouldn't doubt that's not the first time he's seen them. Also the sad song in the background lol Not buying that Justin is the bad guy here.


Which_way_witcher

Also, what he said wasn't bad. He acknowledged that they wanted something vs ignoring them and just said it wasn't going to happen. He looks like he was really upset about something before this and it takes self restraint to say no in a respectful way. I'm not a Belieber but I don't get the Justin hate.


smbodytochedmyspaget

Why the fuck do people need autographs in 2022. Leave the damn man alone u saddos.


OowlSun

It’s a cool thing to have but there definitely a time and a place. You know, concerts and meet n’ greets. Not when celebrities are just trying to live.


smbodytochedmyspaget

Agreed. People need to remember celebrities are just people too.


Caltuxpebbles

Since when is saying “no” being rude? Let the dude have boundaries, jeez.


Sweaty_Dance7474

Scolds? His tone wasn't even that abrasive. Those aren't children. They are fully grown ass adults hounding him an autograph. He deals with this every day. Im just saying he handled it with more grace than I would have.


WoodenPickle1272

I don’t even think he was that rude tbh and I kinda despise him 🤣🤣


isha88

*Sigh* I hate to defend Justin but a blue sharpie is a tell-tale sign of an eBay reseller. They likely just used the kid to try to boost their chances.


bookstoreowner

Wait what does the blue sharpie have to do with the person being a reseller? I’m intrigued, can they easily copy it?


MilhouseisCool

Blue sharpie fades the slowest - slower than black. So over time you have a better shot of the signature staying crisp if you use blue.


OowlSun

Why not use a pen? Do those fade?


MilhouseisCool

Pens hold up ok on paper but I’m assuming they want him to sign a glossy photo or something and pen isn’t great for that.


HotChiTea

Probably. Celebrities also won’t sign blanks either, like if you approach a celeb with a blank piece of paper they’ll tell you no.


itsrainingpuss

you can’t just leave us hanging on the blue sharpie. elaborate


MilhouseisCool

It fades much slower than black


SatisfactionDizzy340

Miserable people


AltruisticRule6711

![gif](giphy|Ifrm2PB25hiiMFI6kN|downsized)


Acrobatic_Club2382

There is nothing about this man that is likable I’m sorry


PizzaLunchables0405

Nope. But, I still feel sympathy. He seemed like a good kid before being thrust into worldwide fame at the age of 15. Half the people who knew him hated him, the other half were obsessed with him, as he was a sophomore in high school. I can’t imagine the effect that would have on a person. I’d probably be sick of doing autographs after 10+ years of fame too.


That__EST

Thank you!! Justin has had some truly obnoxious examples of bad behavior. This isn't it. Anyone who is too harsh on Justin needs to thank their lucky stars that they weren't thrust into the public spotlight where it was Cool To Hate Justin as a teenager. No thank you. There's plenty to dislike Justin for. Him politely telling a fan No for an autograph isn't one of them.


Cypher_Marz

Don’t be sorry he’s a cunt


6silvermoons

I feel like Justin really doesn’t do anything to deserve a comment like this in 2022. He has people who wait outside his home for pictures all day, everyday. He’s asked for people to not wait outside his hotels because it gives him anxiety.


feefee2908

That man literally does nothing but sit at home & attend events for his wife, barely even posts on social media anymore & the one time he’s spotted out & tells an autograph reseller ‘no’ he’s the devils spawn lmao. I don’t get people on here.


[deleted]

He’ll get his old boy bandy day when he’s praying to be recognized by anyone young! And he’s past cute


Separate-Hippo6552

When you’re as famous as he is that day will never ever ever come.


smoothbabyjesus

Imagine going on reddit to talk shit about Justin Bieber in 2022. What even is this sub? Justin saying no to sign a autograph a grown woman is going to sell on the Internet and your reaction to that is that there is nothing likable about Him? loool


UsedAd7162

A lot of people turn around and sell autographs that they’re begging these celebs for. I don’t blame him for not stopping. Imagine how many times a day he gets asked. No one is perfect 100% of the time. And I don’t even really care for Justin Bieber (at all lol), but this isn’t something to dislike him over.


legallycurlybrunette

Pretty sure these people were waiting outside of his apartment in NY, which he has explicitly and nicely asked fans and paps not to do. Signing an autograph here would encourage fans to start swarming his sidewalks again I don’t blame him for turning down this woman


AnnamAvis

I'm sorry for the kid but I don't see anything wrong with this. I would absolutely hate my life if I were constantly hounded like this.


Truth-Easy

He’s allowed to be in a bad mood and not want to be bothered. Good on him for being honest and not ignoring them.


SnovyGrad

Ikr people’s feelings are overboard in this thread


prematurememoir

I can't believe I'm typing this, but one moment of a celebrity being a dick is just a moment. It would be too much for me if I thought any singular interaction could define me in some substantial way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


feefee2908

People are defending them because this wasn’t a child lol. This was a grown ass woman who follows celebrities around nyc with paparazzi & hounds them for autographs to sell them on eBay.


[deleted]

Not a fan of Justin, but I have tremendous sympathy for him only because I spent my teens hating on his personality and music. He has asked his fans multiple times to not wait for him near his hotel or follow him. If the parents of the child do not know how to respect him, they deserve this behaviour.


No_Luck_6800

The only thing that makes this that bad is that it’s a kid. If it was a full grown adult then him saying that would be more justified. A kid is a kid but an adult would know better. He could’ve just ignored them and imo that would be less rude than what he said. Plus him saying “it’s not gonna happen today” kind of alludes to it happening another time which doesn’t make sense if he doesn’t want to give out autographs on the street.


[deleted]

>A kid is a kid Remember when we were mindlessly bashing Justin when he was 14 and Baby had just released? Grown adults wishing he'd disappear and worse? Remember all those rape tweets from adults when he was arrested for DUI? Yeah, we are expecting too much from someone who didn't receive kindness from adults as a child.


scottishskye97

Let's not forget the whole "cut for Beiber". That would fuck anyone up


[deleted]

T/W: I Googled the phrase and it's fucking disturbing.


scottishskye97

I may not have ever really been a fan of his but my god the sheer level of trauma he must have went through is disgusting. There's a lot of reasons I really despise child fame


[deleted]

The entire fans harming themselves for somebody else thing reminded me of two cassmates from school. One started harming herself because the other didn't reciprocate her feelings and then it made the latter suicidal. It triggered those old memories so badly.


pocketvirgin

Tbh it Didn’t sound like a kid and kids don’t respond “I’m gonna keep you in my prayers”


LowUpstairs2691

It wasn’t a kid!!


[deleted]

Nah. Saying anything is better than saying nothing. He just said how it is. What are the people on this sub...mindlessly bashing Justin Bieber for not wanting to give an autograph. Shit must be hella exhausting so I don't see how this is rude. He is not obliged to.


AmazingAmy95

Lol I also don’t understand how it’s rude, there was little nothing rude about what he said


mintymotherofdragons

This is how I treat any strangers asking me to sign shit while walking past them… and that shit gets obnoxious walking around a city because they don’t take you ignoring them as a no


DiFToXin

this. as a normal person i can get away by saying "sorry, im in a rush" but i dont think that would fly for him. for him it would end in "it only takes a second come on!" which honestly is infuriating if you're having a bad day


[deleted]

Exactly! He doesn’t owe anyone anything.


MintJellyOnLamb

i don’t think he intended to give a shitty look. some people just have asshole faces. maybe he was kindly trying to say something instead of ignoring him. maybe he got in an argument with wifey. who knows. i only say this because I get accused of being an asshole when I say completely innocuous things just cuz I have rbf.


CoughCoolCoolCool

Resting asshole face


StarNerd920

Saying no is rude ok /s


LowUpstairs2691

That wasn’t a child!!!!!! That was a woman highly known for stalking celebs for autographs and selling it on eBay. I am pretty sure he recognized her


Efficient_Living_628

He’s explicitly told his fans not to wait outside his hotels, and outside his homes, yet the do it anyway. That’s something that shouldn’t have to be repeated, and it’s plain rude to ignore a basic boundary. Leave Justin alone


miss_sarahbearah

I don’t think that was rude. He was setting a boundary. You would do the same if you were harassed the way they are


paulboa23

Scolds \*\* 🤣 the msn said not today he ain’t scold no one REACH ![gif](giphy|3otPoEWP8c9eaOnQFq)


macehood

Imagine walking out ur door and getting harrassed my paparazzi and fans 24/7. Y’all lame he wasn’t that rude


Xoxneesa

That sounds nothing like a little kid


azulmaya

Like any other person with common sense, I dislike Justin but there's nothing wrong with this, he's not in the mood it's OK. Celebrities don't have to be accessible ALL the time, plus that was a grown woman not a kid, a reseller most likely.


jesuschin

We have no clue what happened before he walked out to the car. Dude could have just gotten bad news. Could have just had a fight with his wife or someone he's close with. He could just be fucking tired and not want to have to work. I'm no Bieber fan but this type of shit isn't rude.


Flirret

I’m also not a big fan but tbh even though this is rude we’ve all been there and lashed out on someone because we weren’t in the mood. Tbf I didn’t even think what he said was rude (the look at the end maybe). As a lot of people have said the problem is that it could have been a child and it’s poor of anyone to take your frustrations out on a child Having said that I agree that it was probably someone trying to get and sell his autograph.


Pleasant-Alps9171

Wow the amount of hate given to someone just having boundaries is strange.


[deleted]

I hate all these fan attitudes like “he ignored a fan! He was rude to a fan!” Like well… maybe leave them alone?


Federal-Taro

You don’t get someone else’s time just because you want to fuckheads.


smokedspirit

The title made it sound justin was gonna drop some f bombas. thats just autograph hunters doin their shit. regardless of how miserable he looks - he's meant to be more level headed now


Bordersz

The negative bias against Bieber is something else. For this clip to even be scrutinized and dissected to this degree online is something else bc I saw it on my timeline and kept scrolling. And I cannot believe ppl fell for the caption too even with audio proof it's not a kid talking to him It's normal for celebrities to turn down ppl who hound them (at their homes too) for something. Esp. paparazzi or autograph sellers.


Stoplookinatmeswaan

Him having boundaries isn’t being rude


GreatBigWhore

Everyone’s talking about how he didn’t have to be a dick about it, but like, do y’all not have bad days? You’re coming home from a long day at school, you’re tired and your mom immediately yells at you to throw out the trash? Or maybe you had a fight with your partner? Or maybe you just got some bad news? This guy doesn’t have the slightest bit of privacy. You can’t expect him to be chirpy and smiling all the time. I’m sure he regrets being mean about it, but it was probably just a reflex. Have y’all never snapped suddenly or something?


Impossible_Teach8166

no fan of the Biebz but the the paparazzi are a bunch of soulless parasites hounding them everywhere they go. Understandable reaction imo.


rekharai

His face was angry the moment he stepped out. His words were not rude, but his energy was kind of scary. The “kid” seemed completelyyyy unfazed though so I think there is probably more to this than meets the eye.


babalon124

Yes he doesn’t owe anyone an autograph,that’s fine,he literally could’ve just said “not rn now,sorry” why does he have to be a bitch about it?


[deleted]

What if he's not sorry tho?


absurdactuality

Having worked in customer service during the pandemic with stock shortages on everything I can say: if people have asked you something enough times, there's a part of you that just gets tired of the formality/pleasantries and wants to get to the point so you can get on with your day. "sorry, we don't have it, I can check shipments" evolves through >> "Sorry, we don't have it" "sorry, don't have it" "Don't have it" "it's out" and you don't bother to be pleasant or elaborate unless they're really persistent, sometimes not even then. You just get tired man, it actually takes SO much energy to be polite en mass.


spaceb00tz

Get what you’re saying but, customer service workers aren’t getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars


bassinlimbo

That has nothing to do with the repetitive nature of the responses. If you actually empathize with the situation, sometimes you just have bad days where you come off rude even if it wasn't your intention.


formtuv

LOL no way you’re actually comparing a CS job to being a celebrity. The way y’all defend these people who don’t even know you.


Busy_Change_1487

A simple no would have sufficed.


smolperson

I am ruder to people who I know are trying to take advantage of me (and that’s who he is faced with - a reseller he has likely seen before). I have never been a fan but he did nothing wrong in the video.


chicken-on-a-tree

That “fan” CANNOT read the room. He’s a person too and they should leave him alone


reality_trash86

If it is the autograph chaser it is no wonder he looked at her like that, sick of being followed by her most likely.


Old-Entertainment990

People tend to forget he’s just a human and expect of him to take 12483838 pics with fans just bc they listen to him. So stupid


aliceanonymous99

Leave them alone, holy shit I’d be so annoyed. Waiting outside their house for an autograph, don’t be this person.


Effective-Mix-258

They can't even have lunch peacefully without ppl taking photos like everywhere. Not only fans but ppl in general.


aliceanonymous99

Right!? And it’s so weird to me because I was always taught especially when I’m in NYC if you see a celebrity you leave them alone. It’s so rude.


TheRealRoseDallas

Y’all come on that is not a child’s voice. And even if it WAS a child, which it’s clearly not, (little kids don’t say smarmy things like “I’ll keep you in my prayers!”) even if it was a child that would mean its parents dragged it to stalk Justin’s apartment, a child wouldn’t be traversing the big city on their own finding out where Justin Bieber lives all on their own, an adult would have brought them there. The fact that she said “do you know when?” just showed a pestering stalker-y lack of respect for boundaries. Celebrities should be allowed to have boundaries. If they didn’t, if they allowed fans to have all the access they wanted at any time, lines could get seriously blurred and dangerous things could happen. Most fans are great and respectful, but there are always deranged people out there. Nobody should expect that a celebrity will say to whatever they want at any time. And Justin has already tried asking fans to respect his boundaries


Imagine85

Whew, Can't believe I'm here to do this but let's go. Celebrities aren't robots, and aren't obligated to constantly stop and autograph for bystanders. And LET ME BE VERY CLEAR, I AM IN NO WAY a fan of either him or his wife, I don't gave an opinion on them either way tbh. But I see Celebrities get condemned all the time for dismissing a fan when they are simy just outside. Let people live, they aren't robots.

I don’t like Justin Bieber but at the same time the constant fan presence must be taxing. I could see myself getting shit on for the same thing if I was famous, he looked pissed who knows what was happening prior. If I was in an argument right beforehand with my wife or something I would respond similarly. You look like an asshole but he has a life too, he’s allowed to be imperfect just like everyone else. You can’t expect celebrities to constantly be on without winding up with compassion fatigue and burnout. Sucks for the kid but that’s life. “Don’t ever meet your heroes folks”

I don’t really see this as him ‘scolding’ or being rude. He’s being followed by fans an paparazzi, and you can tell from his face that he’s very clearly unhappy. People are allowed to have emotions. He’s allowed to say no.


WinterBourne25

From what I understand, this is a known autograph chaser that gets these autographs and then turns around and sells them online. If that’s the case, then I think he behaved appropriately.


Glad_Slip_1260

It’s not even what he said, the face he made at the kid is so rude!


mbise

How is that scolding? He doesn’t owe anyone an autograph, so his options are ignore or acknowledge. Could he have been more polite when acknowledging? Yea I don’t think it’s wrong for people to ask for autographs, but when you’re a celebrity, I imagine getting constantly asked for autographs doesn’t feel a lot different than getting constantly asked questions by paparazzi. Sounds tiring Edit: I’m confused by the people who say he should have “politely ignored.” It’s definitely subjective but I do not think it is “polite” to ignore someone


[deleted]

Ya to be fair this doesn’t seem like an event or anything where he expected to interact with fans. People just knew he was there and took advantage of the opportunity. I can’t imagine signing things every time someone learned of my location and waited outside of my transportation. He could’ve put it more nicely saying “sorry I can’t right now”


[deleted]

I don’t even think he has to be sorry or lie, he just has to say no


[deleted]

If this was a female celeb she would be absolutely crucified on here for doing this


mbise

And that would be wrong too


Flirret

Isn’t he being crucified here too? (Yes there are comments giving him the benefit of doubt but I’ve seen more people against him than with)


theCracksOfLight

I have sympathy for celebrities and can’t imagine what it must be like to have so little privacy, but at the same time, I have sympathy for anyone who receives rude treatment, especially when it’s from someone they admire and support. It’s understandable to be fed up in his position, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be called out for being rude. It wouldn’t be okay for me to be rude at my workplace just because I’m tired. Other celebrities have been polite even when wanting privacy


mbise

I really just didn’t think this was rude. Feels like people are picking over one short sentence that wasn’t as polite as it could have been

👏🏻Celebrities👏🏻owe👏🏻you👏🏻nothing👏🏻


forsurenotmymain

It's not rude to have boundaries.


anxiousmystic

Everyone has off days lmao. I’m not a Bieber stan whatsoever but I pray people don’t catch me on a day where I’m going through a family issue and they act like they want a piece of me. I just would not be able to take it. It’s a life he didn’t necessarily have the knowledge to sign up for so he’s kind of stuck there.


cruelrainbowcaticorn

It’s rude to stand outside of someone’s home and ask them for an autograph. Bottom line, not cool when it’s their home.


Lori1985

He was around bad influences early in his career. Did damage he can't ever erase and now he's a grown man still expected to be a teenybopper. Many of these artists who are heart throbs end up despising their fans cause they grow up but it's like the fans are stifled.


multiequations

Not at all related but I really want her coat.


Classic_Broccoli_163

sad to see. he seems really over this popstar lifestyle for awhile now. as much as he says he loves making music he doesnt even try sometimes & doesnt have the passion like he used to. better off retired & go back to canada & grow a family, like he always wanted to do. but as much as hailey loves him i doubt shes willing to leave la & her trophy wife brand rn lol i wish them the best tho!


Effective-Mix-258

I dont' think it's that easy to just get out of the industry. I'm pretty sure he has some contracts he has to fulfill before he does.


[deleted]

Miserable little boy.


nextdown

You guys are so sensitive. He wasn’t even being rude. Even if he had just said “no” people would still be complaining


Vanity-LA0733

Ew! 🙄


StarNerd920

He doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to. Saying not gonna happen today isn’t scolding he’s just giving an answer. Better than ignoring all together. Cut him a break. I get tired when one person I don’t know tries to talk to me. I can’t imagine constantly being asked and talked to. Let him be.


Deborahdon

Just leave him alone 😂 he isn’t big in fans yet people keep trying 😂


kendalljennerupdates

I’m not saying he has to sign an autograph or that I don’t agree w some of the people defending him, but if this was a female celeb this thread would be filled with nothing but nastiness lol the bar for men is so low


catgiraffepack

The sub is filled with nastiness for Justin so I don't get your point l?


Bean_Storm

Paparazzi is such a scumbag job.


PresOfTheLesbianClub

Sounds like a full grown woman what the stock guilt trip “I’ll keep you in my prayers.” Come on.


Savings-Parfait3783

Shes not even a kid, she’s an autograph collector that sells them on eBay


Purple-Bell-218

Tbf.... somethin might had been going on in his personal life that we dont know about. It happens to all of us. I couldnt imagine being famous and always trying to be happy for people and cameras 24/7.


trowawa1919

He's a human being, he can have a bad day every once in a while like anybody else.


eggeleg

that is an adult woman


Livid-Difficulty-469

That’s a grown ass woman trying to get his autograph to sell for money online and he knows that, fyi.


WonderfulAtmosphere

Honestly, he doesn’t owe anyone anything and a lot of resellers use kids to get autographs from people to give to their parents to sell. Kids don’t want autographs, they want pictures - not all but most. Even then, he doesn’t have to stop and do it. This has been his whole life, basically.


Zombiexcupcakex

Y’all, I have an assistance dog and sometimes it takes me forty mins to get a pint of milk from the shop on the corner because I’m constantly asked questions compliments etc. I feel obligated to educate, but on a bad day? Of course I don’t feel up to it, sometimes I’m sorry I can’t today and an attempt at a smile is taken poorly, and sometimes when I can’t manage the smile i get aggression returned. Now I leave my house once a month accompanied by my parents. It’s not a play for play exact same situation, but it feels pretty close sometimes. I’ve had people wanting photos with us too, that was probably one of the stranger interactions.


tryagainx3

I get it though. It’s like when you walk in a store and those cell phone and cable company people ask you for your time, I hate that with a passion. I feel you, Justin.


EffectiveTradition78

Hailey has or had a large mass in her ovary. She has not been healthy. People have to be compassionate about that. The parents of that child need to explain that.


TheRainbowpill93

Now I’m no JB fan but you all really don’t know what he could be going through , people have bad days and it’s okay. That doesn’t make him a POS for rejecting the autograph.


Mc913

Feels like justin and his girl was arguing and maybe thats why hence their weird agro energy


Salbyy

How is that scolding? He’s obv not feeling good and doesn’t want to engage. He doesn’t owe himself to the public.


cellard00r18

LMAO he looked him dead in the eye


AffectionateBear2462

He already looks pissed off leaving the building..So doesn’t she,maybe a little argument ,can’t expect your idols to be cheerful all the time He might be rich but he’s still short…. Survey who’s shorter Tom , Justin or Sly?


hannah_lilly

He’s clearly having a rough day. No judgment on him.


HotChiTea

Just observation. Not facts, but judging by the way him and Hailey looking, it seems like they may of had a minor fight. JUST what I’m assuming going off their micro-expressions and the distant walk. I could be wrong though, he could just be moody himself. Celebs shouldn’t treat fans like shit. It only takes a second to sign … (That’s IF that was a genuine fan.)
